Abstract: Techniques described herein generally relate to generating an audio signal with a speaker. In some examples, a speaker device is described that includes a membrane and a shutter and driver device is configured to receive an audio signal, modulate it and generate electric signals to operate the speaker and generate an acoustic audio signal.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a gate driver for a power transistor comprising a first charging path operatively connected between a first voltage supply and a gate terminal of the power transistor for charging the gate terminal to a first gate voltage. A second charging path is connectable between the gate terminal of the power transistor and a second supply voltage to charge the gate terminal from the first gate voltage to a second gate voltage larger or higher than the first gate voltage. A voltage of the second voltage supply is higher than a voltage of the first voltage supply.
