Abstract

See full text

An electrical circuit arranged in a half bridge topology. The electrical circuit includes a high side transistor; a low side transistor; a gate driver and level shifter electrically coupled to a gate of the high side transistor; a gate driver electrically coupled to a gate of the low side transistor; a capacitor electrically coupled in parallel with the gate driver and level shifter; a voltage source electrically coupled to an input of the gate driver and level shifter and an input of the gate driver; and, a bootstrap transistor electrically coupled between the voltage source and the capacitor. A GaN field-effect transistor is synchronously switched with a low side device of the half bridge circuit.
