Abstract
A gate drive circuit for generating asymmetric drive voltages comprises a gate drive transformer comprising: a primary winding responsive to a pulse width module (PWM) input signal to generate a bipolar signal having a positive bias voltage and a negative bias voltage; and a secondary winding responsive to the bipolar signal to generate a PWM output signal. A first charge pump is connected to the secondary winding responsive to the PWM output signal to generate a level shifted PWM output signal. A second charge pump is connected to the secondary winding to generate a readjusted PWM output signal by decreasing at least a portion of the level shifted PWM output signal. A gate switching device is connected to the first charge pump and second charge pump. A level shifted PWM output signal establishes an ON condition and the readjusted PWM output signal establishes an OFF condition of the gate MOSFET.
