Abstract

See full text

A high-side semiconductor switch control circuit for switching a positive supply voltage is provided, having a circuit to provide a drive voltage for the high-side semiconductor switch, a driver circuit for driving the high-side semiconductor switch based on the control circuit, wherein both the circuit for providing the drive voltage as well as the driver circuit operate in relation to a floating switching point, an input circuit portion that receives a control signal related to ground, and a level shift circuit portion that is connected between the input circuit portion and the driver circuit portion and set up so as to transform the control signal related to ground into a floating voltage level for the driver circuit portion.
