    Abstract: A power semiconductor device is disclosed. The power semiconductor device includes a source region in a body region, a gate trench adjacent to the source region, and a source trench electrically coupled to the source region. The source trench includes a source trench conductive filler surrounded by a source trench dielectric liner, and extends into a drift region. The power semiconductor device includes a source trench implant below the source trench and a drain region below the drift region, where the source trench implant has a conductivity type opposite that of the drift region. The power semiconductor device may also include a termination trench adjacent to the source trench, where the termination trench includes a termination trench conductive filler surrounded by a termination trench dielectric liner. The power semiconductor device may also include a termination trench implant below the termination trench.

    Abstract: A driver and protection circuit for driving a power switch is disclosed. The driver and protection circuit includes a fault detection block configured to detect a discrepancy between a reference drive signal and a measured voltage at a gate of the power switch. The driver and protection circuit also includes a short circuit detection block configured to detect a gate-to-source short circuit or a gate-to-drain short circuit of the power switch. The driver and protection circuit further includes a latch coupled to the fault detection block and the short circuit detection block to selectively turn off an output driver coupled to the gate of the power switch when a fault or a short circuit is detected, and wherein the latch is configured to send a diagnostic signal when the fault or the short circuit is detected.
