The present disclosure relates to a gray zone prevention circuit with indirect
signal monitoring. For example, a gray zone prevention circuit includes a first
gain stage circuit including a first input terminal and a first output terminal, the first
gain stage circuit amplifying a feedback
signal received at the first input terminal and generating an amplified
signal at the first output terminal; a second
gain stage circuit including a terminal coupled to the first output terminal for receiving the amplified signal and a second output terminal, wherein the second
gain stage circuit is configured to generate a monitored signal based on the amplified signal; a feedback circuit coupled between the second output terminal and the first input terminal and configured to convert the monitored signal to the feedback signal; and a
comparator circuit including a monitoring node coupled to the first output terminal for receiving the amplified signal, wherein the
comparator circuit is configured to indirectly monitor the monitored signal via the amplified signal.
