Abstract:
Various embodiments of the present application are directed towards a level shifter with temperature compensation. In some embodiments, the level shifter comprises a transistor, a first resistor, and a second resistor. The first resistor is electrically coupled from a first source/drain of the transistor to a supply node, and the second resistor is electrically coupled from a second source/drain of the transistor to a reference node. Further, the first and second resistors have substantially the same temperature coefficients and comprise group III-V semiconductor material. By having both the first and second resistors, the output voltage of the level shifter is defined by the resistance ratio of the resistors. Further, since the first and second resistors have the same temperature coefficients, temperature induced changes in resistance is largely cancelled out in the ratio and the output voltage is less susceptible to temperature induced change than the first and second resistors individually.

Claim (Index 7):
A gate driver circuit comprising:\n a level shifter comprising a transistor, a first resistor, and a second resistor, wherein the first resistor is electrically coupled from a first source/drain of the transistor to a dynamic power supply node, and wherein the second resistor is electrically coupled from a second source/drain of the transistor to a reference node; and a high-side gate driver comprising power terminals electrically coupled respectively to the dynamic supply node and a dynamic return node, wherein the high-side gate driver is configured to be controlled by an output of the level shifter.
