Abstract
A gate drive circuit includes a first switch electrically coupled to a single-supply input voltage node, the first switch electrically coupling the voltage node with a first capacitor if switched on; a second switch electrically coupled to a ground node, the second switch electrically coupling the first capacitor with the ground node if switched on; and the first capacitor. A first capacitor lead of the first capacitor is electrically coupled to the first and second switches and a second capacitor lead of the first capacitor is arranged to connect with a power transistor gate.
