Abstract:
A driver circuit includes a driver output stage and an operational amplifier. The driver output stage has a high-level voltage input and a low-level voltage input, and is operable to generate an output voltage responsive to a gate voltage applied to the driver output stage. The operational amplifier is operable to regulate the gate voltage applied to the driver output stage so that the output voltage corresponds to a control signal input to the operational amplifier. A first supply voltage connected to the high-level voltage input of the driver output stage is higher than a maximum value of the control signal, and a second supply voltage connected to the low-level voltage input of the driver output stage is lower than a minimum value of the control signal.
