    Abstract: A method and device for input offset cancellation utilizing a latched comparator that is configurable as a linear amplifier capable of sampling and cancelling offset in the inputs to the latched comparator. The latched comparator is configured according to three control signals for operation in three operating intervals. During a first operating interval, the latched comparator is configured as a linear amplifier that samples the offset at the inputs to the latched comparator. Based on the sampled offset, the linear amplifier cancels the offset in the inputs to the latched comparator. During a second operating interval, the latched comparator reverts to operation as comparator and the inputs to the latch are reset. During a third interval, the latch resolves the inputs to the comparator and generates an output signal indicating.

    Abstract: An adaptive driver includes a gate driver having at least one driving transistor for driving a control node of switching transistor(s) that includes an output node (OUT) which provides Vout. An adjustable current source is in series with the driving transistor, a high pass filter (HPF) is between OUT and ground for detecting a slew rate of the switching transistor and outputting a voltage pulse (Vslp) output having a peak voltage amplitude at least monotonically reflecting a slope of Vout during switching. Detection signal processing circuitry is coupled to the output of the HPF for processing Vslp and slew rate control circuitry has an input coupled to the output of the detection signal processing circuitry. The output of the slew rate control circuitry is coupled to the current source for controlling its current level for changing the slew rate of the switching transistor to provide a desired slew rate range.
