In designing switching circuit for that type we usually use a controller circuit as that variety needs a specific on/off to be really exceptional. Stepping back to Mosfet used as a switch imagine a capacitor in a very basic switch.
When you build or buy a switching controller then being familiar with what your HEMT requires will help answer just what does this unipolar transistor need to switch and also do you want an inverted output? so what is this invisible capacitor stuff {CISS}? The power supply should become clear, in the video the schematic helps show what is needed but the datasheet will be even more specific. Playing with threshold on simple circuit can be useful.
Video on a Mosfet touch switch why it wants positive and negative even though it uses electron charge carrier the CISS may not cooperate.
Imagine what you might make by modifying the CD4093 demonstration you could make a variety of very useful drivers. (HEMT switching controller)
instead of driving an led. Sort of like a small Mosfet driving a large Mosfet. The sound of the logic probe has a sound of a clean on and off.
Converting positive to negative, yes inverting. The video also shows 12V directly controlled flip flop however a controller sometimes preferred.
A high voltage switching power supply can vary by application. Later on in the second video is a negative supply circuit.
If you are following so far don't confuse all that with building a circuit specifically using a negative supply.
Some HEMT transistors have 1.1 Volt threshold with output 600V. You can adjust the swing where you want with a dual supply.
A high voltage dual supply uses same principle but different parts. It is called a switched capacitor circuit for negative supply.
Start simple, Play, make your own road map and can keep the individual parts of the circuits straight. be careful.
