Abstract
A system is provided including a driver architecture including: a first set of devices of a first transistor type; and a second set of devices of a second transistor type different from the first transistor type. The system includes control logic configured to provide control signals to the first set of devices and the second set of devices in association with selectively controlling the first set of devices and the second set of devices. The first set of devices and the second set of devices are configured to selectively drive a load based on the control signals.

A system comprising:
- a driver architecture comprising:
- a first set of devices of a first transistor type;
- and
- a second set of devices of a second transistor type different from the first transistor type;
- and
- control logic configured to provide control signals to the first set of devices and the second set of devices in association with selectively controlling the first set of devices and the second set of devices,
- wherein the first set of devices and the second set of devices are configured to selectively drive a load based on the control signals.
An H-bridge driver architecture comprising:
- a first set of devices of a first transistor type;
- and
- a second set of devices of a second transistor type different from the first transistor type;
- wherein the first set of devices and the second set of devices are configured to selectively drive a load based on a control signal, wherein the control signal selectively controls activation or deactivation of the first set of devices and the second set of devices in association with driving the load.
A method comprising:
- generating control signals associated with driving a load;
- and
- providing the control signals to an H-bridge driver architecture comprising a first set of devices of a first transistor type and a second set of devices of a second transistor type different from the first transistor type, in association with driving the load,
- wherein providing the control signals selectively turns on or off devices comprised among the first set of devices and the second set of devices.
