A switching circuit has a first die and a second die. The first die has a first transistor, a second transistor, and a third transistor. The second die has a fourth transistor and a driving circuit. The second transistor and the third transistor are coupled to the first transistor to provide multiple pull down paths for the first transistor. The driving circuit provides a first driving signal to control the first transistor, a second driving signal to control the fourth transistor, a first pull down control signal to control the second transistor, and a second pull down control signal to control the third transistor based on the pulse width modulation signal. A pull down strength of the first transistor is modified via the second transistor and the third transistor based on an expected turn-off mode of the first transistor.
