> practical demonstration of the need for dead-band delay David, I was looking this week at the IRS2092 http://www.irf.com/product-info/datasheets/data/irs2092.pdf It's a Class D PWM amplifier driver for FETs in a push-pull configuration. The speaker -ve is at mid-rail Being quasi-analogue and intended for the whole audio spectrum, it uses feedback vs a reference to dynamically adjust the dead time For a motor though, driven with a known frequency, couldn't a known delay be used ? Perhaps a Schmitt Trigger and RC ? Joe --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
