Electronic circuit with a transistor device, a level shifter and a drive circuit

An electronic circuit, comprising:

• a first transistor device integrated in an inner region of a first semiconductor body;
• and
• a level shifter and a drive circuit integrated in an edge region surrounding the inner region of the semiconductor body,
• wherein the drive circuit is configured to receive a first input signal from a first input and drive the first transistor device based on the first input signal,
• wherein the drive circuit is arranged closer to the inner region than the level shifter,
• wherein the first transistor device comprises a plurality of transistor cells, each comprising:
• a drift region of a first doping type;
• a source region of the first doping type connected to a source node;
• a body region of a second doping type complementary to the first doping type;
• a drain region of the first doping type separated from the body region by the drift region and connected to a drain node;
• and
• a gate electrode adjacent the body region and dielectrically insulated from the body region by a gate dielectric.
