Abstract

The low jitter dead time circuit which uses one RC combination to set the turn on delay for both the upper and lower MOSFETs in the half bridge. This circuit minimized jitters in the turn on delay and results in matched turn on delays for both MOSFETs in a half bridge. This minimizes noise and distortion. This circuit is further designed to be used in conjunction with shunt regulators to reject ripple from the power supplies.
