Zusammenfassung:Circuits for communicating between high side devices and low side controllers without using level shifting switches are provided. A low voltage controller with time coding circuitry generates an output, such as a voltage, a current, or a digital signal for controlling a high side switch. A driver is connected to the high side switch and receives the signal from the controller, decodes the signal, and generates on and off time pulses for controlling the high side switch. The communication between the controller and the driver does not require any level shifting circuitry.
