Abstract:
1. An apparatus, comprising: a first power transistor on a first integrated circuit chip, the first power transistor having two output terminals and a control terminal; a first driver circuit on the first integrated circuit chip, the first driver circuit having a first driver circuit input and a first driver circuit output; a second power transistor on a second integrated circuit chip, the second power transistor having two output terminals and a control terminal; and a second driver circuit on the second integrated circuit chip, the second driver circuit having a second driver circuit input and a second driver circuit output, the two output terminals of the first power transistor coupled to the two output terminals, respectively, of the second power transistor, the first and second driver circuit inputs all coupled to receive a single control signal, the first driver circuit output coupled to drive the control terminal of the first power transistor to switch the first power transistor with the single control signal and the second driver circuit output coupled to drive the control terminal of the second power transistor to switch the second power transistor with the single control signal.
