Abstract
A drive circuit is disclosed including a first feedback circuit designed to generate a first feedback signal from a first voltage to be controlled and a first reference voltage. The drive circuit further includes a signal converter designed to generate a second feedback signal from the first feedback signal such that the difference between the first feedback signal and a first amplitude value of a periodic signal approximately matches the difference between the second feedback signal and a second amplitude value of the periodic signal. The drive circuit also includes a first pulse width modulator which receives the first feedback signal and the periodic signal and generates the first pulse width-modulated signal. In addition the drive circuit includes a second pulse width modulator which receives the second feedback signal and the periodic signal and generates the second pulse width-modulated signal.
