Abstract
In accordance with an embodiment, a circuit for driving a control terminal of a switching transistor includes a driver having an output configured to be coupled to the control terminal of the switching transistor, a first power supply terminal configured to be coupled to a first terminal of a floating power supply, a second power supply terminal configured to be coupled to a second terminal of the floating power supply, and a switching input terminal configured to receive a switching signal. The circuit further includes a bias circuit having an output terminal configured to be coupled to a common-mode control terminal of the floating power supply, wherein the bias circuit is configured to provide a time dependent voltage.
