    Abstract: A bidirectional PFC system includes a high-frequency branch with a first transistor connected between an IO node and a high-frequency tap, and a second transistor connected between the high-frequency tap and a reference node, and a low-frequency branch with a first thyristor connected between the IO node and a low-frequency tap, and a second thyristor connected between the low-frequency tap and the reference node. An inductor is connected between the first node and the high-frequency tap. A first capacitor is connected between the first node and the low-frequency tap. The first node and the low-frequency tap are coupled to input terminals. A control circuit generates first and second gate drive signals for the transistors so as to modify an AC signal at the input terminals such that the AC current falls below a holding current of the second thyristor prior to zero crossing of the AC voltage.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an electronic device (10) including a switched capacitor circuit (102) generating a boosted voltage (Vboost) from a battery voltage (Vbatt) and a monolithic transmitter (103) integrated within a single integrated circuit substrate (103). The monolithic transmitter includes a bridge (104) powered between the boosted voltage and a reference voltage and is operated based upon bridge control signals (HS_AC1, LS_AC1, HS_AC2, LS_AC2) generated by a digital core (105) within the monolithic transmitter. A tank capacitor (Ctank) and a coil (112) are series connected between output nodes of the bridge. During operation, the monolithic transmitter causes generation of a time-varying magnetic field about the coil, in turn inducing eddy currents in a workpiece (1122) disposed within the time-varying magnetic field to thereby heat the workpiece.

    Abstract: A delta-sigma modulator (110) includes a loop filter circuit (114) having a first input that receives an input signal (102) and a second input that receives a feedback signal (105). The loop filter (114) circuit generates a filtered signal (106). A quantizer circuit (124) quantizes the filtered signal (106) to generate an output signal (103). An anti-windup circuit (112) detects instances where the filtered signal (106) is outside an input signal input of the quantizer circuit (124) and in response thereto generates a dead zone signal (107) having a magnitude and sign corresponding to a difference between the filtered signal and the input signal range. The feedback signal (105) is a sum of the output signal (103) and the dead zone signal (107).
