Abstract:
A method of forming a power device comprising:forming a power transistor and a pull-down transistor on a first semiconductor die; coupling the pull-down transistor across a gate and a source of the power transistor; coupling the gate of the power transistor to a first input of the power device; coupling a gate of the pull-down transistor to a second input of the power device; and forming a driver circuit having a first amplifier coupled to receive an input signal and responsively drive a pull-up transistor coupled to a first output of the driver circuit and having a second amplifier coupled to receive the input signal and responsively drive a second output of the driver circuit wherein the driver circuit is formed on a second semiconductor die and wherein the first output of the driver circuit is configured for coupling to the first input of the power device and the second output of the driver circuit is configured for coupling to the second input of the power device.
