Abstract

The present invention belongs to the technical field of gate driving circuits, and discloses a partially bootstrapped gate driving circuit for reducing switching loss and a control method thereof. The partially bootstrapped gate driving circuit for reducing the switching loss comprises a switching device, PWM, a power supply, signal isolation, non-isolated driving chips, a bootstrap structure, a driving resistor, Mon and Moff. The bootstrap structure is used in the present invention, which can realize voltage doubling output without increasing the power supply, overcomes limitation of parasitic resistance inside a large gate of a wide band gap device, and can significantly reduce the switching loss.
