Abstract
An apparatus is described. The apparatus includes a stacked switch circuit having protection circuitry to prevent shoot through current when the switch is in an off state and respective voltages at the terminals of the switch change such that before the change one of the terminals of the switch has the higher voltage and after the change the other terminal of the switch has the higher voltage.
Claims18
An apparatus, comprising:
- a stacked switch circuit having protection circuitry to prevent shoot through current when the switch is in an off state and respective voltages at the terminals of the switch change such that before the change one of the terminals of the switch has the higher voltage and after the change the other terminal of the switch has the higher voltage.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a stacked switch circuit having protection circuitry to prevent shoot through current when the switch is in an off state and respective voltages at the terminals of the switch change such that before the change one of the terminals of the switch has the higher voltage and after the change the other terminal of the switch has the higher voltage, wherein, the stacked switch circuit has first and second halves that mirror each other and the protection circuitry couples the first and second halves.
A computing system, comprising:
- one or more processing cores;
- a system memory;
- a memory controller coupled to the system memory;
- power supply circuitry, the power supply circuitry comprising a stacked switch circuit having protection circuitry to prevent shoot through current when the switch is in an off state and respective voltages at the terminals of the switch change such that before the change one of the terminals of the switch has the higher voltage and after the change the other terminal of the switch has the higher voltage.
