                    A charge pump gate driver circuit that provides an adjustable pump voltage level to achieve the active dv/dt control for wide bandgap devices. The driver circuit has two power supplies, which provides positive and negative reference voltages, two separate charge pump circuits with two capacitors, and a typical totem-pole drive with two decoupling capacitors. This achieves an online and active dv/dt regulation and eliminates extra power supplies to reduce cost and associated footprint.
