ABSTRACT:
A load driver circuit includes an output transistor configured to drive a load. The circuit further includes a power supply, and a power supply evaluation circuit configured to sense a characteristic of the power supply, and generate a control signal in response thereto. In addition, a controller circuit is provided and is configured to drive the output transistor with a pulse width modulation signal coupled to the control terminal, wherein a duty cycle of the pulse width modulation signal is a function of the control signal of the power supply evaluation circuit.
