Abstract

See full text

In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, systems and methods may include an input configured to indicate a switching node voltage of a switching node of a power converter comprising a first switch device coupled at its non-gate terminals between a ground voltage and the switching node and a second switch device coupled at its non-gate terminals between an output supply node and the switching node. The systems and methods may also include a predriver circuit coupled to the input and a gate terminal of the first switch device, the predriver circuit configured to drive an input voltage signal to the gate terminal of the first switch device and configured to select an effective impedance of the gate terminal of the first switch device based on the input.
