Abstract
A voltage gate driver for a semiconductor-based transistor is provided, including a voltage generator circuit arranged for receiving a drive voltage, the voltage generator circuit includes a capacitor connected in series with a Zener diode, a cathode of the Zener diode is arranged to be connected to a gate of the semiconductor-based transistor and a bias current circuit, connected in parallel over the capacitor, the bias current circuit includes a switch and is arranged to provide a bias current to the cathode of the Zener diode based on a state of the switch, and the bias current circuit is arranged to provide the bias current to the cathode of the Zener diode when the switch is in a closed state, and arranged to prevent provision of the bias current to the cathode of the Zener diode when the switch is in an open state.
