Abstract
Techniques for improving the transient response in a switching converter are provided. An example of a gate driving circuit for driving a high-side switch in a switching converter according to the disclosure includes a first switch operably coupled to a source lead and a gate lead of the high-side switch, a first super source follower circuit operably coupled to the gate lead of the high-side switch, and a mid-voltage power supply operably coupled to the first super source follower circuit.
