When driving an H-bridge or a similar circuit, you usually must ensure that two or more transistors arernnot on at the same time. Eliminating multiple transistors from turning on reduces power consumption and low-rners EMI (electromagnetic interference). Crossover-delay circuits solve that problem. Figure 1 shows a simple, two-phase design that lets you adjust the crossover delays equally by changing the value of one component with minimal phase delay.rnEach Schmitt trigger inverter is driven during one half-cycle throughrna diode. The RC delay occurs during the alternate half-cycle. Equal-value resistors R_1 and R_2 serve alternatively as delay elements and gate-coupling resistors.
