Switch to Unipolar Bias Supply

The secondary side bipolar power supply can be switched to a unipolar power supply. The high side and low side can be adjusted separately. To change the high-side gate driver to a unipolar power supply, short R43 and remove R94; to change the low-side gate driver to a unipolar power supply, short R44 and remove R99.

After the resistors adjustments, VDD would remain the same.
