Abstract

See full text

A high voltage output driver circuit includes a first regulator having a first input, a second input, and an output coupled to the second input, a second regulator having a first input, a second input and an output, a driver having a first signal input, a second signal input, a first control input coupled to the output of the first regulator, a second control input coupled to the output of the second regulator, a first control output, and a second control output, a first power transistor coupled to the first control output of the driver, and a second power transistor coupled to the second control output of the driver. An integrated circuit comprising the high voltage output driver does not require external bootstrap components, such as capacitors, nor the attendant extra pins required to connect to such external bootstrap components.
