Abstract:
There are provided a driver circuit, a method of driving a power switch, and a ballast circuit. For example, there is provided a driver circuit configured to receive a control signal and operate a power switch. The driver circuit includes a first switch, a second switch, and a capacitor coupled to control terminals of the first and second switches. The driver circuit further includes a first diode coupled to a first bias terminal of the driver circuit and to the capacitor. Furthermore, the driver circuit includes a second diode coupled to a second bias terminal of the driver circuit and to a terminal of the power switch.
