IPC: H03K17/042 ,  H03K17/16 ,  H03K17/687 ,  H03K19/003 ,  G05F1/575 ,  H03F3/45 ,  H03F3/50

Abstract: A (pre) driver circuit includes first and second output terminals configured to be coupled to a power transistor. A differential stage has non-inverting and inverting inputs for receiving an input voltage. The input voltage is replicated as an output voltage across the first and second output terminals as a drive signal for the power transistor. The differential stage includes a differential transconductance amplifier in a voltage follower arrangement configured to provide continuous regulation of a voltage at the first output terminal with respect to the second output terminal.
