Abstract
A device includes a gate driver configured to output, to a gate of a switch, a turn-on voltage for activating the switch. The active gate bias driver is configured to actively drive a voltage at the gate of the switch to a first bias voltage during a first dead time of the switch and actively drive the voltage at the gate of the switch to a second bias voltage during a second dead time of the switch. The second bias voltage is different from the first bias voltage.
