Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a high-speed switching tube floating gate drive circuit, more specifically, to a high-speed switching tube floating gate drive circuit using an optocoupler, which can be used in the fields of switching power supplies, class D audio amplifiers, and the like. The switch tube may be a MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) or an IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor). Background technique [0002] In the fields of switching power supplies, class D audio amplifiers, etc., it is often encountered that N-channel MOSFETs or IGBT switching tubes need to be driven by floating gates. The following uses MOSFETs as an example to illustrate. Since the source level of the MOSFET in these occasions is usually a complex waveform, and the turn-on condition of the MOSFET is to provide a stable voltage between the gate and the source, the gate of the MOSFET in this case needs to be driven floatingly. According to different ...
