Abstract
An electronic circuit is disclosed. The electronic circuit includes a transistor having a gate terminal, a source terminal and a drain terminal, and a gate driver circuit including a pull-down transistor coupled to the gate terminal, and an input terminal arranged to receive an input signal and generate a corresponding output signal at an output terminal coupled to the gate terminal, where the gate driver circuit is arranged to store energy harvested from the input signal and use the stored energy to change a conductive state of the pull-down transistor. In one aspect, the transistor includes gallium nitride (GaN). In another aspect, the pull-down transistor includes GaN.
