GATE DRIVER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18116104 Titled 'GATE DRIVER'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a stage of a gate driver, which is a device used to control the switching of power transistors. This stage consists of two node controllers: a first node controller and a second node controller.
The first node controller includes a control transistor that is connected between a first node and a second node. This control transistor has two gates, a first gate and a second gate. The first gate is connected to a first voltage input terminal, which receives a voltage at an on-voltage level.
The second node controller includes another control transistor that is connected between a third node and a second voltage input terminal. This control transistor has a first gate connected to the first node and a second gate connected to the second voltage input terminal. The second voltage input terminal receives a voltage at an off-voltage level.
In simpler terms, this stage of the gate driver has two controllers. The first controller controls the switching on of the power transistor, while the second controller controls the switching off. Each controller has a control transistor with multiple gates that receive different voltages to perform their respective functions.
