Abstract

See full text

A high-voltage driver amplifier for piezo haptics comprises an input amplifier having a gain greater than one, a first amplifier of an amplifier pair coupled to an output of the input amplifier, a second amplifier of the amplifier pair coupled to the output of the input amplifier, a first impedance coupled between an output of the first amplifier of the amplifier pair and an input of the input amplifier, and a second impedance coupled between the output of the first amplifier of the amplifier pair coupled to an output of the second amplifier of the amplifier pair. A substantially capacitive load is coupled to the output of the second amplifier. The substantially capacitive load is a piezo-capacitance, wherein the piezo-capacitance is employed in haptics. The second impedance, a shunt impedance, allows for a feedback of output variations between the first amplifier and the second amplifier over the first impedance.
