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