Edge rate control gate drive circuit and system for low side devices with capacitor
Abstract:
An apparatus, comprising: a PMOS current mirror have a first PFET and a second PFET coupled at their respective gates; a first current source coupled to drain of the first PFET; a second current source configured to have a current that is greater than the first current source, coupled to the drain of the second PFET; a capacitor coupled to the gates of the PFET current mirror; a third PFET gate-coupled to the current mirror; a driver NFET having a gate coupled to the drain of the third PFET, wherein a drain of the driver NFET is coupled to the capacitor.
