Systems and methods for auxiliary power dropout protection

A protection circuit for one or more components of a wireless power receiver, the one or more components comprising one or more transistors configured to be controlled by respective gate drivers, the gate drivers configured to be powered by an auxiliary power source, the circuit comprising:

• a comparator configured to generate a signal indicating a comparison of a value of the auxiliary power source to a predetermined threshold;
• a fault latch coupled to the comparator, the fault latch configured to trigger based on the generated signal and transmit a signal to respective inputs of the gate drivers to cause a latched-on state of respective gates of the one or more transistors;
• one or more switches respectively coupled to the one or more gate drivers and configured to disconnect respective outputs of the gate drivers from the respective transistor gates;
• and
• one or more gate hold-up circuits respectively coupled to the transistor gates and configured to maintain the latched-on state of the respective transistor gates for a period of time.
