Abstract:
A half-bridge control circuit comprises an input terminal, an output terminal for providing a pulsed signal to a half-bridge driver circuit configured to drive two electronic switches connected between two supply terminals, and a feedback terminal for receiving a feedback signal indicative of the instantaneous voltage value at a switching node between the two electronic switches. A selector circuit provides a digital feedback signal. A subtractor generates an error signal by subtracting the digital feedback signal from the reference signal. An integrator generates an integration signal by integrating the value of the error signal. A down-scale circuit generates a reduced resolution integration signal by discarding one or more least significant bits of the integration signal. A sampling circuit generates a sampled integration signal by sampling the reduced resolution integration signal. A pulse generator circuit generates the pulsed signal as a function of the sampled integration signal.
