Abstract

A circuit includes a high-side driver having a high-side slew control input, a high-side drive input and a high-side drive output. A low-side driver has a low-side slew control input, a low-side drive input and a low-side drive output. Drive control circuitry has a high-side drive control output, a low-side drive control output, and a slew control output. The high-side drive control output is coupled to the high-side drive input, the low-side drive control output is coupled to the low-side drive input. The slew control output is coupled to at least one of the high-side slew control input and the low-side slew control input, and the drive control circuitry is configured to provide a slew control signal at the slew control output. The high-side and/or low-side driver is configured to modulate a slew rate of a drive signal at a respective drive output thereof based on the slew control signal.
