Monolithic high side GaN-based circuits using capacitors for level shifting. In one aspect, a power converter includes a GaN-based die, a switch formed on the GaN-based die and having a gate terminal, where the switch is arranged to be selectively conductive according to a driver signal applied to the gate terminal, a buffer circuit formed on the GaN-based die and arranged to receive an input signal and generate a corresponding differential output signal at a first output terminal and at a second output terminal, and a voltage level converter formed on the GaN-based die and having a first input terminal coupled to the first output terminal via a first capacitor and having a second input terminal coupled to the second output terminal via a second capacitor, where the first and second capacitors are formed on the GaN-based die, and the voltage level converter is arranged to generate the driver signal.
