1. A method for controlling a high-power drive device, the method comprising:
generating a positive turn-on voltage and a negative turn-off voltage for the high-power drive device by a first gate driver product based on a first power supply voltage received from a first integrated circuit terminal, a second power supply voltage received from a second integrated circuit terminal, and a regulated power supply voltage on a third integrated circuit terminal, the positive turn-on voltage being a difference between the first power supply voltage and the regulated power supply voltage and has a predetermined voltage level.
