Abstract
In one embodiment, a control circuit for a high side driver controls a store mode and a maintain mode. An embodiment of the control circuit stores a voltage that is greater than an input voltage which results in storing a large charge for at least a portion of one of the cycles. The charge is used to supply operating voltage to the driver for at least a portion of another of the cycles.
