Abstract

See full text

A bridge circuit uses active feedback to control drive phase turn on to substantially eliminate shoot-through current. Voltage sensor 66 senses H-bridge transistor voltage turn off levels and causes control circuit 64 to latch which causes enable circuit 62 to allow the next phase of H-bridge transistor turn on. A critical aspect of the invention is to ensure all H-bridge transistors are off before the enable circuit allows the next phase to turn any H-bridge transistors on.
