Gate Drivers Overview Slide 14

A key issue with high voltage gate drivers is the below ground phenomenon. When the high side is turned OFF, a negative voltage appears on the OUT pin. This can destroy the gate driver if it is not robust enough. The amplitude and the duration depends on various parameters of the design, like the load, but also the parasitic elements of the PCB.
