Abstract
A control driver circuit that includes a switching transistor coupled between a first voltage supply node and an output node of the gate, the output node coupled or couplable to a control node of the power transistor. A circuit includes an inductive element coupled between the control transistor and a second voltage supply node. The circuit is configured such that if the output node is coupled to the power transistor, and in response to the switching transistor being turned on, a current is induced within the inductive element and a voltage from the first voltage supply is provided to a control node of the power transistor to thereby turn on the power transistor. On the other hand, in response to the switching transistor being turned off, the induced current is drawn from the output node to thereby turn the power transistor off.
