  • Generator of drive signals for transistors connected in a half-bridge configuration
    Patent number: 5140591
    Abstract: The generator of drive signals comprises a ramp generator suitable for receiving a square waveform input signal and for converting it into an output signal variable between a lower level and an upper level with upward and downward ramps having a preset slope, a first comparator with a non-inverting input connected to the output of said ramp generator and an inverting input connected to a first reference signal source and a second comparator with an inverting input connected to the output of said ramp generator and a non-inverting input connected to a second reference signal source.
