A gate drive circuit for a power semiconductor device, a low-side switching circuit, a high-side switching circuit, and a drive method are disclosed. When a first gate driver receives a control signal which is at a first level, the first gate driver connects a first gate to a first voltage, so that the first gate controls a channel region. When the transistor operates on a Miller plateau, the area of an overlapping region between the first gate and a drain inside the transistor is relatively small, so the Miller capacitance of the transistor is relatively small, thereby improving the switching speed of the transistor. A second gate is connected to a second voltage after a first duration, so that the second gate controls a drift region of the transistor to form an accumulation layer, and the accumulation layer has a relatively high carrier concentration.
