Abstract :
This paper presents a gate driver, which has positive and negative output voltages with only one positive-voltage source required. Such a gate driver can reduce the switching loss of the MOSFET switch as well as the noise interference during the turn- off period. The detailed operating principles are illustrated and some simulation and experimental results are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
