Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

According to another embodiment, a system includes a driver circuit that drives a first output and a second output; a coil coupled between the first output and the second output such that the driver circuit drives current through the coil in response to control signals; and a programmable slew circuit coupled to the driver circuit. In some embodiments, a switch is coupled between the first output and the coil. In some embodiments an over-voltage protection circuit is coupled to protect the driver circuit.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 - 22 . (canceled) 23 . A system, comprising a driver circuit that drives a first output and a second output; a coil coupled between the first output and the second output such that the driver circuit drives current through the coil in response to control signals; and a programmable slew circuit coupled to the driver circuit. 24 . The system of claim 23 , further including a switch coupled between the first output and the coil. 25 . The system of claim 24 , wherein the switch receives the control signal and couples the first output to the coil in response to the control signal, an opposite side of the coil being coupled to the second output. 26 . The system of claim 23 , wherein the driver circuit includes a first transistor that couples a first voltage to the first output in response to a first signal; a second transistor that couples the first voltage to the second output in response to a second signal; a third transistor that couples the first output to ground in response to a first slew signal from the programmable slew circuit; and a fourth transistor that couples the second output to ground in response to a second slew signal from the programmable slew circuit. 27 . The system of claim 26 , wherein the first voltage is provided from a reverse boost circuit powered by a battery. 28 . The system of claim 23 , further including an overvoltage protection circuit configured to protect the driver circuit.
