Abstract
This application relates to methods and apparatus for switching drivers. The switching driver has first and second switches for selectively connecting an output node to first and second switching voltages respectively to generate a first output voltage. A compensator is configured to receive a first monitor signal indicative of a sum of the first and second switching voltages and a second monitor signal indicative of a difference between the first and second switching voltages and to apply compensation to the input signal based on the first and second monitor signals so as to compensate for variations in the first and second switching voltages from defined nominal values of the first and second switching voltages. A modulator controls a duty cycle of the first and second switches based on the input signal after said compensation has been applied.
