Abstract
A totem pole output stage including first and second control modules cross coupled to first and second switching modules for measuring the charge on the gate of a FET contained in the opposing switching module to determine the condition of the opposing switching module, so as to avoid mutual conductivity events without the use of a fixed timing delay while maximizing switching performance.
