ABSTRACT:
A gate driver circuit arranged to supply a DC/DC converter with a switching voltage. Both the gate driver circuit and the DC/DC converter include at least one transistor and at least one further component. The DC/DC converter is arranged to convert an input voltage to an output voltage and to supply to a load. A power converter includes the gate driver circuit and the DC/DC converter. The gate driver circuit can be designed such that the transistors are in the form of transistors being suitable for being manufactured in an MMIC-process or an RFIC-process.
