MOSFETs in push-pull configuration: possible short circuit during transition?
Yes, you got it!
During a certain period of time M6 and M2 conduct current simultaneously.
M2 and M6 are in their saturated region.
The current that flows is called &quot;shoot-trough current&quot;.

It's the main mechanism of CMOS and power electronics power consumption.

One  way  to  minimize  the shoot-through parasitic effect is to slowdown the turn-on time of the high-side MOSFET M6.
This will reduce  or  eliminate  the  shoot-through current, but at the expense of higher  switching  losses.
