Programmable non-overlap time output driver

摘要

An integrated circuit and method for setting non-overlap time in a staggered dual output driver relies upon selection from a plurality of delay paths. A cross-conduction prevention circuit provides a first output signal to a first feedback path and a second output signal to a second feedback path. A plurality of delay paths are selectively inserted into one or both of the feedback paths. Non-overlap times for the driver are detected for each of the tested delay paths. In one or both feedback paths, a tested delay path is set for indefinite or permanent use by the staggered dual output driver.
