    摘要: A power converter includes first to fourth switches, a flying capacitor, an inductor, an output capacitor and a control circuit. The first to fourth switches are sequentially coupled in cascode. The first switch is used to receive an input voltage. The flying capacitor is coupled across the second switch and the third switch, the inductor is coupled to the second switch, the third switch and the output capacitor. The output capacitor is used to output an output voltage. When the input voltage is less than an input voltage threshold, the control circuit is used to switch the first to fourth switches according to a resonant frequency. When the input voltage exceeds the input voltage threshold, the control circuit switch is used to the first to fourth switches according to a regulated frequency exceeding the resonant frequency.

    摘要: A method for reading/writing a chip in a USB type-C cable comprises converting a read/write command into unstructured vendor defined message (UVDM) that is conforming to a USB power delivery specification. Such UVDM will be delivered to the chip via a type-C configuration channel interface. The chip analyzes the UVDM to acquire the read/write command and reads or modifies the content of a non-volatile memory in the chip according to the read/write command. Due to use of the type-C configuration channel interface, which is inherent in the USB type-C cable, to read/write the chip, it needs no extra interface which otherwise increases costs.

    摘要: A voltage converting controller is applied to a switching voltage converting circuit, in which the voltage converting controller periodically operates a high-side power switch and a low-side power switch in the switching voltage converting circuit with a high-side control signal and a low-side control signal, respectively, so as to convert an input voltage into an output voltage via an inductor. Defining an ideal duty cycle as the rating value of the output voltage divided by the value of the input voltage, when the ideal duty cycle is less than one threshold duty cycle, then the period of the high-side control signal is a constant; and when the ideal duty cycle is greater than the threshold duty cycle, the period of the high-side control signal and the period of the ideal duty cycle are positively correlated.
