This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18474479 titled 'DRIVING CIRCUIT OF HIGH-SIDE TRANSISTOR, CLASS-D AMPLIFIER CIRCUIT USING THE SAME, CONVERTER CONTROLLER CIRCUIT AND HIGH-SIDE SWITCH CIRCUIT
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure provides a driving circuit of a high-side transistor. The driving circuit drives the high-side transistor based on an input signal. A level shift circuit is configured to level-shift the input signal. A high-side driver drives the high-side transistor based on an output of the level shift circuit. A first transistor and a second transistor constitute a latch circuit. A third transistor and a fourth transistor are P-channel DMOS transistors. A seventh transistor and an eighth transistor are N-channel DMOS transistors and are connected in parallel with the third transistor and the fourth transistor.
