    Abstract: A drive circuit includes a first transistor coupled in series with a second transistor at a first intermediate node coupled to a load. An amplifier has an output driving a control terminal of the second transistor. The amplifier includes a first input coupled to a second intermediate node and a second input coupled to a reference voltage. A feedback circuit is coupled between the first intermediate node and the second intermediate node. A slope control circuit is coupled the second intermediate node. The slope control circuit injects a selected value of current into the second intermediate node, that current operating to control the output of the amplifier in setting a slope for change in voltage at the first intermediate node.

    Abstract: A low side driver includes a first transistor coupled in series with a second transistor at a low side voltage node for a load. A capacitance is configured to store a voltage and a voltage buffer circuit has an input coupled to receive the voltage stored by the capacitance and an output coupled to drive a control node of the second transistor with the stored voltage. A current source supplies current through a switch to the capacitance and the input of the voltage buffer circuit. The switch is configured to be actuated by an oscillating enable signal so as to cyclically source current from the current source to the capacitance and cause a stepped increase in the stored voltage which is applied by the buffer circuit to the control node of the second transistor.

    Abstract: A fully integrated ramp generator circuit includes a first current generator that sources current to first capacitor through a first transistor that is gate controlled by the complement of a periodic signal. The ramping voltage stored on the first capacitor is buffered to an output node as a ramp output signal. A second transistor couples the output node to the first current generator and is gate controlled by the periodic signal. The periodic signal is generated at the output of a flip-flop that receives an input clock signal and reset signal. The reset signal is generated by a comparator circuit operable to compare the voltage on a second capacitor to a reference. The second capacitor is charged by a second current source and discharged by a third transistor that is gate controlled by the periodic signal.
