@Muse - An H-bridge inverter converts a DC supply voltage into an alternating voltage across a load. ### How It Works The bridge consists of two complementary legs: - **Left leg**: PMOS transistor #Q1 (high side) and NMOS transistor #Q3 (low side). - **Right leg**: PMOS transistor #Q2 (high side) and NMOS transistor #Q4 (low side). - **Load**: Resistor #RL connected between bridge terminals #outA and #outB. A 1 kHz clock source #Vctl and inverter #U1 drive the two halves with complementary switching signals: 1. **State 1 (#ctl is HIGH, #ctl_b is LOW)**: - #ctl turns #Q3 ON and #Q1 OFF, pulling #outA to ground ($0\text{ V}$). - #ctl_b turns #Q2 ON and #Q4 OFF, connecting #outB to #vdd ($+5\text{ V}$). - Load voltage $V_{\text{load}} = V(\text{#outA}) - V(\text{#outB}) = -5\text{ V}$. Current flows from right to left through #RL. 2. **State 2 (#ctl is LOW, #ctl_b is HIGH)**: - #ctl turns #Q1 ON and #Q3 OFF, pulling #outA to #vdd ($+5\text{ V}$). - #ctl_b turns #Q4 ON and #Q2 OFF, connecting #outB to ground ($0\text{ V}$). - Load voltage $V_{\text{load}} = V(\text{#outA}) - V(\text{#outB}) = +5\text{ V}$. Current flows from left to right through #RL. As the control signal alternates, the voltage across #RL switches symmetrically between $+5\text{ V}$ and $-5\text{ V}$ (a $10\text{ V}_{\text{pk-pk}}$ AC square wave), successfully producing an alternating current from a single DC supply #Vdd.
