Abstract
A method drives a transistor half-bridge. The method includes measuring a delay time between an edge of an input signal and an corresponding edge of a phase signal, and saving the delay time as a saved delay time value. The phase signal is the output of the transistor half-bridge. In the method, the following steps are repeated until the saved delay time value differs from the delay time by more than a given threshold: decrementing the delay-value of a programmable delay circuit and the saved delay time value by a given decrement, the programmable delay circuit coupled to a control terminal of a first transistor of the half-bridge, and measuring the delay time between an edge of the input signal and an corresponding edge of the phase signal.
