Abstract :
A low-impedance isolated or nonisolated capacitor driver with negligible practical losses is presented. Peak capacitor voltages are totally predictable, and the driver can self-regulate to drive a 1 nF-10 μF capacitor with unchanged risetime. Circuit results exhibit MOSFET gate-drive losses below 2% of the power lost in classical drive circuits
