  • Publication number: 20240072794
    Abstract: A receiver circuit comprising: an input-pin; a receiver-input-node; a ground-pin; an internal-node that is connected to the input-pin; and a MOSFET. The MOSFET has a conduction channel connected in series between the internal-node and the receiver-input-terminal; and a gate terminal, the voltage at which sets the conductivity of the conduction channel. The receiver circuit also includes an amplifier that: has an input terminal that is connected to the internal-node; and provides a voltage control signal to the gate terminal of the MOSFET such that the voltage at the internal-node with respect to the ground-pin is constant.

  • Publication number: 20230299765
    Abstract: Stabiliser circuits and methods are disclosed, for stabilizing a voltage at a gate driver terminal of a gate-driver for a driven transistor to a one of a high voltage and a low voltage, the stabilizer circuit comprising: a first transistor and a second transistor having respective first and second main terminals and connected in series between the gate voltage terminal and a first reference voltage terminal; and a low-pass filter connected between a control terminal of the first transistor and the gate driver terminal; wherein the first transistor is configured to have a threshold voltage which is less that a threshold voltage of the driven transistor; and the second transistor has a control terminal which is configured to be connected to a voltage which is an oppositive of the voltage at the gate driver terminal.
