Original Abstract Submitted
Provided is a multi-channel actuator for driving a low-side device. The actuator includes a controller that receives a first command for driving a low-side device and outputs data representative of the first command. The actuator includes a driving circuit having a plurality of detection and driving stages. The plurality of detection and driving stages are operative to be coupled to a plurality of channels of the low-side device, respectively. The driving circuit receives the data representative of the first command and causes a detection and driving stage of the plurality of detection and driving stages to drive a respective channel of the low-side device in accordance with the first command.
