ABSTRACT:
A method and circuitry are disclosed for ensuring that cross-conduction of a pair of primary switches coupled across a DC input voltage in a switch mode converter does not occur based on the actual state of the primary switches. The DC input is coupled to the output of the primary switches through a respective primary switch during first and second time periods in respective half cycles of the converter. Each first and second time period is separated by a deadband during which signals are provided to turn each primary switch off. The state of the primary switches is monitored during the deadband, and the deadband is maintained before progressing into the next first or second time period until both primary switches of the pair are off. Converters utilizing the method and circuitry for accomplishing the foregoing are also disclosed.
