A circuit includes a transistor circuit including a first node, a second node, and a plurality of transistors coupled in parallel between the first node and the second node. The circuit further includes a drive circuit configured to switch on a first group of the plurality of transistors, the first group including a first subgroup and a second subgroup and each of the first subgroup and the second subgroup including one or more of the transistors. The drive circuit is further configured to switch off the first subgroup at the end of a first time period and switch off the second subgroup at a time instant before the end of the first time period.
