ABSTRACT:
Briefly, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a circuit includes a DC-to-DC converter. The DC-to-DC converter includes a high-side field effect transistor (FET) and FET driver. The gate of the high-side FET is AC coupled to the FET driver. The gate-to-source electrical path of the high-side FET is coupled to be driven by a substantially fixed voltage during circuit operation.
