Abstract:
A driver interface for a switch-based circuit includes an AC coupling capacitor, a first diode or a first series of diodes, and a second diode or a second series of diodes connected in series with the first diode or first series of diodes but with an opposing polarity. The AC coupling capacitor removes a DC voltage from an input bi-level drive signal that does not have the appropriate high and low drive levels needed to switch a FET in the switch-based circuit between fully ON and fully OFF states. The first diode or first series of diodes and the second diode or second series of diodes clamp the resulting AC-coupled drive signal to produce an output bi-level drive signal having the high and low drive levels needed to switch the FET between fully ON and fully OFF states. The driver interface maintains the high and low drive levels of the output bi-level drive signal irrespective of any changes made to the duty cycle or pulse density of the input bi-level drive signal.

Claim (Index 8):
The driver interface of  claim 6 , further comprising\n a transformer having a primary winding configured to receive an input gate drive signal and a secondary winding disposed in series with the parallel-connected first series of diodes and second series of diodes; and a capacitor configured in series with the secondary winding of the transformer.
