Abstract

A circuit includes a reference signal generator, a comparator, a one-shot circuit, and a gate driver. The reference signal generator has an output terminal, a first input terminal configured to receive a discharge time select value, and a second input terminal configured to receive a stop voltage select value. The comparator has an output terminal, a first input terminal configured to receive a sensed voltage, and a second input terminal coupled to the output terminal of the reference signal generator. The one-shot circuit has an output terminal, a first input terminal coupled to the output terminal of the comparator, and a second input terminal configured to receive an on-time value. The gate driver has an output terminal, and an input terminal coupled to the output terminal of the one-shot circuit.
