Abstract:
An integrated full bridge circuit, comprising:four transistors having control terminals, said four transistors including two series-connected pairs of transistors each forming a half bridge circuit;resistor elements each connecting a respective one of said pairs of transistors to a reference potential;other resistor elements each connected to a respective one of two separate supply terminals inside a housing, each of said other resistor elements connected to one of said transistors of a respective one of said pairs of transistors at a junction; anddriver transistors each having a load path with two connections and a type complementary to said transistors connected to said other resistor elements, one of said connections connected upstream of said control terminal of a respective one of said transistors connected to said other resistor elements and the other of said connections in each of said half bridge circuits connected to said junction in the other of said half bridge circuits.
