Yang, Y. (author), Huang, Mo (author), Du, S. (author), Martins, Rui P. (author), Lu, Yan (author)High-frequency buck converters need a fast transition of switching nodes (high dv/dt). Such high dv/dt, especially the positive one, can cause malfunction of a conventional pulse-triggered active-coupled (PTAC) level shifter that is used to control the high-side NMOS switch. In this work, we first discuss the dv/dt immunity of conventional PTAC...journal article 2023
