Abstract

A gate driver has a supply voltage terminal, a bootstrap terminal connected to the supply voltage terminal, a driver having a power input terminal connected to the bootstrap terminal and an output connected to a gate control signal output terminal and configured to generate a gate drive signal at the gate control signal output terminal based on a voltage on the power input terminal, a clamp driver connected to the bootstrap terminal, a clamp transistor connected between a clamp signal input terminal and a reference voltage terminal and having a gate connected to the clamp driver, and an energy harvesting circuit connected between the clamp signal input terminal and the gate of the clamp transistor.
