Abstract

The present invention discloses a capacitive high-side switch driver for a power converter. The capacitive high-side switch driver according to the present invention includes an inverter and two alternately conducting totem-pole buffers with complementary duty cycles. The duty cycles alternate in response to an input signal. The capacitive high-side switch driver further includes a low-side transistor and a high-side transistor. Once the low-side transistor is turned on, a bootstrap capacitor is charged to create a floating voltage via a charge-pump diode to supply power for the high-side switch driver. To supply additional power for the high-side switch driver, differential signals are produced to further charge the bootstrap capacitor via a bridge rectifier. The capacitive high-side switch driver utilizes a programmable load to provide variable impedance. This strengthens the noise immunity of the circuit. Furthermore, an under-voltage protector supervises the supply voltage to ensure a reliable gate driving voltage.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a high-side switch driver, and more particularly, to a driver circuit for driving a high-side switch of a power converter. Background technique [0002] Many common power converters utilize bridge circuits to regulate a voltage source with the state of a load. Some of these power converters include power supplies and motor drives, among others. [0003] The bridge circuits used by these power converters are typically constructed from a pair of switching devices connected in series across a voltage source. The switching device includes a high-side switch and a low-side switch. The high-side switch is connected to a voltage source, while the low-side switch is connected to a ground reference. A common node between the high-side switch and the low-side switch is coupled to the load. The aforementioned switches are typically transistor devices (MOSFETs, IGBTs, etc.). The high-side switch and the low-side switch are con...
