Abstract:
Techniques for power Field Effect Transistor (power-FET) gate drivers are described herein. In an example embodiment, a device comprises a Universal Serial Bus (USB) subsystem that is disposed in a monolithic integrated circuit (IC). The USB subsystem comprises a gate-driver circuit configured to selectively control an external N-channel power-FET or an external P-channel power-FET.
