Abstract
A boost circuit receives a DC signal at a first voltage, a duty clock, a reference at a second voltage, and a second intermediate signal at a fourth voltage; compares the reference and the second intermediate signal; generates a first intermediate signal at a third voltage based on the duty clock and the comparison of the reference and the second intermediate signal; and adjusts the third voltage to cause the fourth voltage to approach the second voltage based on the comparison of the reference and the second intermediate signal. The voltage converter receives the first intermediate signal at the second voltage and a clock and generates the second intermediate signal at the fourth voltage, which may be greater than the third voltage. The voltage driver receives the second intermediate signal at the fourth voltage and generates an AC signal at an AC voltage based on the second intermediate signal.
