A system and method provide overshoot protection to facilitate driving a load
by
output circuitry in response to a transition from a first operating mode to a second
operating mode. The overshoot protection occurs by masking an input bias from biasing
the output circuitry for an initial part of the second operating mode based on
a transition to the second operating mode, and then allowing the input bias to
bias the output circuitry in a desired manner in a subsequent part of the second
operating mode.
