Abstract
A configurable driver integrated circuit is disclosed having a plurality of input/output terminals for interfacing exterior of the integrated circuit. The integrated circuit includes a plurality of driver circuits, with each driver circuit including a transistor having a source and a drain, and each of the source and drain thereof connected to a dedicated and respective one of the input/output terminals and further includes a gate driver for driving a gate of the transistor, with supply inputs associated with a floating voltage domain, and each driver circuit also includes a level shift circuit for shifting the level of a logic signal from a fixed voltage domain to the floating voltage domain. A switching circuitry generates switching signals in a fixed voltage domain for controlling the operation of each of the driver circuits in accordance with a predetermined configuration defined by external circuit.
