Abstract: An apparatus comprising an input stage comprising a first input, a second input, a first AC coupler, and a second AC coupler. The first AC coupler is coupled between the first input and a third input. The second AC coupler is coupled between the second input and a fourth input. A comparator coupled to the third input, the fourth input, and an output. The comparator provides an output signal at the output based on a comparison between a level of a first voltage at the third input, and a level of a second voltage at the fourth input. A feedback circuit, coupled to the output, the third input, and the fourth input. The feedback circuit receives the output signal, and provides, based on the output signal, a first feedback voltage to the third input.

Abstract: A fully isolated drive circuit to be used for regulating an output voltage across a load. The isolated drive circuit may charge, discharge, or preserve the load charge using a controller that controls one or more switches. The controller may operate a switch according to an internal/external clock or an external control signal received by the controller. The isolated drive circuit may be an effective solution to simplify the drive design and decrease the amount of energy dissipated by the drive, especially when the load, associated with the drive, requires a high input voltage level.
