Abstract
A GaN resonant circuit is disclosed. The GaN resonant circuit includes a power switch configured to be selectively conductive according to one or more gate signals, and configured to generate a switch signal indicative of the value of the current flowing therethrough. The GaN resonant circuit also includes a power switch driver, configured to generate the gate signals in response to one or more control signals, where the power switch driver is configured to cause the power switch to become nonconductive in response to the switch signal indicating that the value of the current flowing through the power switch has transitioned across a threshold value.
