Abstract
Described herein are systems and methods for generating short load current pulses using an H-bridge. In various embodiments, this is accomplished by controlling, in a shunting mode, a low-side switch of the H-bridge to drive a first average current and controlling, in a non-shunting mode, a high-side switch of the H-bridge to drive a second average current such that the first and second average currents are substantially the same and reduce a current pulse width of the load current.
