In one embodiment, a (pre)driver circuit includes first and a second output terminal for driving an electronic switch that includes a control terminal and a current path through the switch. The arrangement can operate in one or more first driving configurations (e.g., for PMOS), with the first and second output terminals are coupled to the current path and the control electrode of the electronic switch, respectively, and one or more second driving configurations (e.g., for NMOS, both HS and LS), wherein the first and second output terminals of the driver circuit are coupled to the control electrode and the current path of the electronic switch, respectively. 在个实施例中，(预)驱动器电路包括用于驱动电子开关的第输出端子和第二输出端子，电子开关包括控制端子和穿过开关的电流路径。布置可以操作在个或多个第驱动配置中(例如用于PMOS)，其中第输出端子和第二输出端子分别耦合至电子开关的电流路径和控制电极，以及操作在个或多个第二驱动配置中(例如用于NMOS，HS和LS均是)，其中驱动器电路的第输出端子和第二输出端子分别耦合至电子开关的控制电极和电流路径。
