Abstract
A gate drive circuit includes a voltage summer, a driver, a power transistor and a resistor. The voltage summer includes a first input terminal for receiving a reference voltage, a second input terminal for receiving a common source voltage, and an output terminal for generating a summed voltage according to the common source voltage and the reference voltage. The driver includes a first input terminal coupled to the output terminal of the voltage summer, a second input terminal for receiving a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal, and an output terminal for generating a gate voltage according to the summed voltage and the pulse width modulation signal. The power transistor includes a first terminal, a second terminal, and a control terminal coupled to the output terminal of the driver. The resistor is coupled between the second terminal of the power transistor and a ground terminal.
