Abstract
A method and control circuit for an electronic switch, and more particularly the high side switch in a bridge circuit. Control is established by continuous and/or the combination of continuous and pulsed signals. Fail safe undervoltage protection is provided for the high side switch based on the adequacy of both high side and low side control voltages.
