Abstract

See full text

A driver for a piezoelectric actuator includes a pulse width modulator and an output amplifier packaged as a single semiconductor device, preferably on a single semiconductor die. The driver includes a first boost converter that supplies power to the output amplifier, which preferably has programmable gain. A second amplifier, for driving the gate of a switching transistor in the first boost converter, is powered by a second boost converter. The piezoelectric actuator provides tactile feedback for the keyboard or the display in a battery operated electronic device.
