Abstract
A dead time circuit () for a switching circuit is disclosed. The dead-time circuit comprises: an input () for receiving a switching signal of the switching circuit with at least one supply rail having a ground bounce signal; first and second outputs (); a first feedforward path () coupled to the first output and arranged to receive the switching signal; a second feedforward path () coupled to the second output and arranged to receive the switching signal; a first feedback path () forming a first feedback loop between the first output and the second feedforward path; and a second feedback path () forming a second feedback loop between the second output and the first feedforward path; wherein each of the first and second feedforward paths includes a respective first and second delay circuit (), each having a time delay greater than a predetermined time period of the ground bounce signal. A switching amplifier is also disclosed.
