Abstract
An H-bridge driver without implementing with the PWM mode is disclosed. The H-bridge driver of the invention includes a non-inverting amplifier and an inverting amplifier commonly connected to the control signal. When the control signal exceeds the reference, the non-inverting amplifier commonly drives the first pair of transistors diagonally connected to the load. The low side transistor fully turns on but the high side transistor linearly operates. When the control signal is less than the reference, the inverting amplifier commonly drives the second pair of transistors also diagonally connected to the load.
