    摘要: A clock driver circuit, including: an input stage, a double-ended to single-ended conversion stage and a driver output stage connected in sequence. The input stage includes two mutually loaded differential amplifiers and a common mode negative feedback loop. The differential amplifiers are connected to a differential clock signal for amplification to generate a common mode voltage. The common mode feedback circuit is connected to an output end of the differential amplifiers to stabilize the output amplitude of the common mode voltage. The double-ended to single-ended conversion stage converts a differential sine clock signal output by the double-ended common mode voltage into a single-ended square wave clock signal. The driver output stage includes a multi-stage cascaded push-pull phase inverter to improve the drive capability of the square wave clock signal.

    摘要: A method to control a high side switch of a motor drive includes sinking a current of an ON signal to communicate a turn ON of the high side switch. A first current signal, a second current signal, a third current signal, a fourth current signal and a common mode rejection signal are generated in response to the ON signal. The ON signal in a presence of common mode noise is determined by comparing the first current signal and the second current signal. A first output signal is generated in response to determining the ON signal. A drive signal is generated responsive to the first output signal to control the high side switch in response to the ON signal in presence of common mode noise that is caused by a slewing at a half-bridge node.
