Patent ID: 8203366

Claim:
A switch driving circuit for controlling a switching operation of a switch, the switch driving circuit comprising: a driver configured to generate a first gate signal at an output node of the switch driving circuit for controlling the switching operation of the switch; a correction switch coupled to a gate electrode of the switch, the switch being coupled to receive a correction current from an output of the correction switch; and a comparator having inputs configured to receive the first gate signal and a second gate signal and an output coupled to the correction switch, the correction switch being coupled to receive a correction control signal from the output of the comparator, the comparator being configured to perform a comparison of the first gate signal to the second gate signal to generate the correction control signal, the output of the comparator being coupled to provide the correction control signal to the correction switch to control the correction switch to generate the correction current flowing from the correction switch to the gate electrode of the switch such that the second gate signal at the gate electrode of the switch equals the first gate signal at the output node of the switch driving circuit.
