Figure 7-11 shows a high level function block diagram for the half-bridge gate driver architecture. The gate driver blocks provide a variety of functions for MOSFET control, feedback, and protection. This includes complimentary, push-pull high-side and low-side gate drivers with adjustable drive currents, control logic level shifters, VDS, VGS, and VSH (switch-node) feedback comparators, a high-side Zener clamp, plus passive and active pulldown resistors.
