摘要:
A regulated voltage-boosting device including a charge-pump circuit (11), which has an input terminal (4a) receiving a first voltage (V DD ) and an output terminal (4b) supplying a second voltage (V LCD ) higher than said first voltage (V DD ), and being provided with a plurality of voltage-boosting stages (17) that can be selectively activated and deactivated. The regulated voltage-boosting device moreover comprises an automatic-selection circuit (10) for activating a number of voltage-boosting stages (17) which is correlated to the first voltage (V DD ) and to the second voltage (V LCD ).
摘要:
A circuit for detecting signals present on a bifilar voltage-supply and signal-transmission line, in which the signals are constituted by positive and negative variations of the supply potential of at least one of the wires of the line (2), comprises: a low-pass filter (20) connected to the two wires of the line in order to supply, at an output terminal of the filter, a constant reference potential (V+) substantially equal to the supply potential of a preselected one of the two wires, a first threshold comparator (21) having a reference input terminal (27) and a threshold input terminal (29) connected, respectively, to the output terminal (18) of the filter (20) and to the preselected wire of the two wires, and a second threshold comparator (22) having a reference input terminal (28) and a threshold input terminal (30) connected, respectively, to the preselected wire of the two wires and to the output terminal (18) of the filter (20). The circuit is relatively simple, does not require synchronization signals, and can be formed as an integrated circuit, taking up a limited area.
摘要:
The power supply device comprises a DC-DC converter circuit (8) including a power switch (10) and a driving stage (102). The driving stage (102) has a compensation terminal (102b) on which a compensation voltage (V COMP ) is present and which receives a biasing current (I P ), said driving stage (102) comprising a control circuit (107) having an output terminal connected to a control terminal (11) of the power switch (10) and disconnection-detecting means (105) connected to said compensation terminal (102b) and generating a signal for permanent turning-off of said power switch (10) when the biasing current (I P ) drops below a current-threshold value (I T ). The driving stage (102) moreover comprises over-voltage detecting means (104) connected to the compensation terminal (102b) and generating a signal for temporary turning-off of said power switch (10) when said compensation voltage (V COMP ) exceeds a voltage-threshold value (V T ).
