US Patent 7768756 Leakage current protection circuit

Systems and methods are provided for substantially mitigating leakage current. One embodiment includes an integrated circuit (IC). The IC comprises a monitoring circuit configured to control switching of one of a first voltage source and a second voltage source to an output. The IC also comprises a leakage current protection circuit configured to substantially mitigate leakage current flow between the first voltage source and the second voltage source due to an undershoot condition caused by the switching between the first and second voltage sources to the output.
