Abstract
Circuits, methods, and systems are provided for setting a current level to be used by a current-mode gate driver. The current level may be used to source, sink, or both source and sink current to/from the gate terminal of a power device. The current level is based upon a current or voltage level input from an analog current-setting terminal. This input current or voltage level may take a value from a continuous range of current or voltage values.
