Abstract

A switched bridge circuit comprises a first switch, a second switch, and a non-overlapping pulse generator. The first switch is coupled to a load. The second switch is coupled to said load. The non-overlapping pulse generator is coupled to the first switch and the second switch and coupled to receive an input signal. The non-overlapping pulse generator in response to the input signal generates a first control signal and a second control signal that respectively control the first and second switches. The pulses in the first and second control signals are not overlapped so that the first and second switches are not simultaneously enabled.
