Abstract
A device includes a PWM circuit to generate a complementary PWM signal comprised of a positive polarity PWM signal and a negative polarity PWM signal. The positive polarity signal may drive a high-side switch. A trigger multiplexer may take as input the negative polarity PWM signal and may force an output based on a predetermined condition, the predetermined condition including but not limited to the maximum on-time of a low-side switch. The output of the trigger multiplexer may drive a low-side switch. The high-side switch and the low-side switch may drive a load.
