A gate drive circuit drives a control terminal of a power transistor and comprises: a drive terminal for electrically coupling the control terminal, a first reference source, a first switch arranged between the first reference source and the control terminal, a switch control circuit and a measurement circuit. The first switch is switched-on to turn-off the power transistor. The switch control circuit switches-off the first switch during a transition period to a fully off-state. The measurement circuit outputs a control signal to the switch control circuit in response to a value of a voltage at the control terminal measured when a discharge current flowing to the drive terminal has been reduced to a predetermined threshold, for switching-on the first switch if the measured value is smaller than a threshold voltage.
