Abstract
A circuit arrangement with a gate driver circuit for a power transistor is disclosed which is suitable for low voltage applications, permitting a rail-to-rail output without a loss in speed/bandwidth, which is very simple, low cost, low current and area efficient. The gate driver circuit comprises a drain follower with a MOS driver transistor having the gate connected to an interconnection node of a capacitive divider. A first capacitor of the capacitive divider is connected between the drain and the gate and a second capacitor is connected between the gate and an input of the gate driver circuit. The gate driver has the required low impedance for driving the gate of the power transistor.
