Abstract:
A plurality of PWM generators have user configurable time delay circuits for each PWM control signal generated therefrom. The time delay circuits are adjusted so that each of the PWM control signals arrive at their associated power transistors at the same time. This may be accomplished by determining a maximum delay time of the PWM control signal that has to traverse the longest propagation time and then setting the delay for that PWM control signal to substantially zero delay. Thereafter, all other delay time settings for the other PWM control signals may be determined by subtracting the propagation time for each of the other PWM control signals from the longest propagation time. Thereby insuring that all of the PWM control signals arrive at their respective power transistor control nodes with substantially the same time relationships as when they left their respective PWM generators.
Abstract:
An apparatus may include a processor. The apparatus may include a memory communicatively coupled to the processor. The apparatus may include a memory control circuit (MCC). The MCC may be configured to define a protected portion of the memory, wherein the protected portion of the memory is configured for read-only access by the processor, increase a size of the protected portion of the memory, and, after the increase in size of the protected portion of the memory, prevent decreases of the size of the protected portion of the memory.
