Patent ID: 7511978

Claim:
A system for providing switching, the system comprising: a voltage supply, the voltage supply being configured to provide a first voltage; a first impedance being characterized by a first impedance value; a second impedance being characterized by a second impedance value; a controller component being electrically coupled to the voltage supply, the controller component being configured to receive at least an input signal and to provide a first output signal and a second output signal; a gate driver component including a first transistor and a second transistor, the gate driver component being configured to receive the first output signal and the second output signal and generate a third output signal in response to at least the first output signal and the second output signal; and a switch being configured to receive the third output signal and change between a first state and a second state in response to the third output signal; wherein: the first transistor includes a first terminal, a second terminal, and a third terminal; the second transistor includes a fourth terminal, a fifth terminal, and a sixth terminal; the first terminal is electrically coupled to the first impedance; the second terminal is configured to receive the first output signal; the third terminal is electrically coupled to the fourth terminal; the fifth terminal is configured to receive the second output signal; the sixth terminal is electrically coupled to the second impedance; and the third output signal is associated with a second voltage related to the third terminal and the fourth terminal.
