CPC H02M 1/08 (2013.01) [G05F 1/573 (2013.01); H02M 1/32 (2013.01); H02M 3/155 (2013.01); H02M 3/158 (2013.01); H03K 3/012 (2013.01); H02H 9/02 (2013.01); H03K 2217/0081 (2013.01)] | 13 Claims |
1. An electronic circuit comprising:
a transistor including a gate terminal, a source terminal and a drain terminal; and
a gate driver circuit including:
a pull-down transistor coupled to the gate terminal;
an input terminal arranged to receive an input signal and generate a corresponding output signal at an output terminal coupled to the gate terminal;
a pull-up transistor, wherein the input terminal is coupled to a collector terminal of the pull-up transistor; and
wherein the gate driver circuit is arranged to store energy harvested from the input signal through the pull-up transistor and use the stored energy to change a conductive state of the pull-down transistor.
