A MOSFET main switch transistor has a pull-down FET coupled between a drain thereof and the gate of the main switch transistor. A gate of the pull-down FET is coupled to the drain of the main switch transistor by a capacitor and is connected to a source thereof by a resistor. The pull-down FET is operated by capacitive coupling to the voltage drop across the main switch and can be used to hold the gate of the main switch transistor at or near its source potential to avoid or reduce unintentional turn-on of the main switch transistor by the Miller effect.
