Patent ID: 8749277

Claim:
A half bridge network adapted to be operably coupled to and responsive to respective control signals provided by a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) controller, said half bridge network comprising: a high-side switch and a low-side switch coupled to the high side and the low side output of the half bridge, respectively; switch-driving circuits operably coupled to the high-side switch and to the low-side switch in one-to-one correspondence, said switch-driving circuits driving the respective switches in response to the respective control signals provided to the switch-driving circuits; a power supply circuit operatively connected to a first switch-driving circuit; a power supply circuit condition control circuit responsive to a model of the power supply circuit and to at least the control signal provided to a second switch-driving circuit, said power supply circuit condition control circuit controlling the application of the respective control signal to the first switch-driving circuit.
