Abstract: A gate driver circuit arranged to supply a DC/DC converter with a switching voltage. Both the gate driver circuit and the DC/DC converter include at least one transistor and at least one further component. The DC/DC converter is arranged to convert an input voltage to an output voltage and to supply to a load. A power converter includes the gate driver circuit and the DC/DC converter. The gate driver circuit can be designed such that the transistors are in the form of transistors being suitable for being manufactured in an MMIC-process or an RFIC-process.

Abstract: The invention discloses an amplifier (200, 400, 500) coupling comprising a first (230), a second (240), a third (250) and a fourth (260) transistor, additionally comprising a signal input port (220) and a signal output port (210, 410). The input port of the amplifier is connected to the first, second, third and fourth transistors such that an input signal to the amplifier is input to the first and the fourth transistor in parallel, and to the second and third transistors in parallel, with the outputs from the first and second transistors being connected in series to each other, and the outputs from the fourth and third transistors being connected in series with each other, said outputs being connected in parallel to each to the one output port of the amplifier.
