A protection system that protects a booster circuit used to boost operating signals in a memory device. The system includes a protection circuit for protecting an output transistor of the booster circuit. The protection circuit includes a transfer gate coupled to the output transistor and coupled to receive a first boost signal and a second boost signal. The transfer gate opens and closes in response to the second boost signal. When the transfer gate is closed, the first boost signal is uncoupled from the output transistor, and when the transfer gate is opened, the first boost signal is coupled to the output transistor. The circuit also includes a protection transistor coupled to the second boost signal, a supply voltage and the output transistor, where the protection transistor couples the supply voltage to the output transistor when the transfer gate is closed.
