Abstract: A bootstrap gate driver charging circuit arranged to drive the gate of an upper switch (QU) and a lower switch (QL) connected in series to provide an AC output voltage (400) voltage by alternatively turning on and off according to a predetermined duty cycle of alternate upper switch turn-on and lower switch turn-on phases, the bootstrap gate driver charging circuit comprising: an input terminal; an output terminal; an H-bridge inverter with an inverter input and an inverter output; a charging path; and a bootstrap capacitor. The input inverter is electrically connected to the input terminal, the inverter output is electrically connected to a first end of the bootstrap capacitor, the charging path is electrically connected between a second end of the bootstrap capacitor and a gate driver supply voltage; wherein in response to the lower switch being turned ON and providing a path to ground with respect to the supply voltage.
