    Abstract: The present invention discloses a gate drive circuit for reducing a reverse recovery current of a power device, and belongs to the field of basic electronic circuit technologies. The gate drive circuit includes a high-voltage LDMOS transistor, a diode forming a freewheeling path when the diode is turned on or a low-voltage MOS transistor in anti-parallel connection with a body diode, and a voltage detection circuit. When the power device is turned off, a freewheeling current produced by an inductive load flows through a freewheeling diode, the voltage detection circuit detects that the freewheeling diode is turned on, and an output signal is processed by a control circuit, to cause the drive circuit to output a high level, so that channels of the power device and the high-voltage LDMOS transistor are turned on, the freewheeling current flows through the conductive channels, almost not through the freewheeling diode, and there is no reverse recovery current in the freewheeling diode at this time, thereby reducing the reverse recovery current of the power device.

    Abstract: A lateral insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) with a low turn-on overshoot current is provided to reduce a peak value of a current flowing through a device during turn-on of a second gate pulse while preventing a current capability and a withstand voltage capability from being degraded. The lateral IGBT includes: a buried oxygen arranged on a P-type substrate, an N-type drift region arranged on the buried oxygen, on which a P-type body region and an N-type buffer region are arranged, a P-type collector region arranged in the N-type buffer region, a field oxide layer arranged above the N-type drift region, a P-type well region arranged in the P-type body region, and a P-type emitter region and an emitter region arranged in the P-type well region, where inner boundaries of the foregoing 4 regions are synchronously recessed to form a pinch-off region. A gate oxide layer is arranged on a surface of the P-type body region, and a polysilicon gate is arranged on the gate oxide layer. The polysilicon gate includes a first gate located above the surface of the P-type body region and a second gate located above the pinch-off region and the N-type drift region. The first gate is connected to a first gate resistor, and the second gate is connected to a second gate resistor.
