- Figure 1. Basic driver circuit where C1 actuates, current-halving R1 sustains, then C1 discharges through R1 during TOFF
- Figure 2. Q1 and Q2 cooperate with C to double VL for actuation, Q2 and D2 sustain, then Q3 rapidly discharges C through R to quickly recover for the next cycle
- Figure 3. Level shifting Q4, R1, and R2 are added to accommodate V++ > VL
