Abstract
A monolithic half-bridge gate driver includes a phase node terminal configured to be coupled to a phase node to which a high-side transistor and a low-side transistor of a half-bridge are coupled; a diode comprising an anode and a cathode, wherein the cathode is coupled to the phase node terminal; and a comparator comprising a first input terminal coupled to the anode of the diode for receiving a measurement value indicative of a phase voltage at the phase node terminal, a second input terminal coupled to a threshold source for receiving a threshold, and an output terminal configured to output a comparison result indicating whether the measurement value satisfies the threshold. The phase node terminal is configured to be connected to a high-side supply potential by the high-side transistor, and is configured to be connected to a low-side supply potential by the low-side transistor.
