    Abstract: An RF circuit and method for detecting the amount of phase shift applied to an RF signal. An RF heating apparatus including the RF circuit. The RF circuit includes a phase shifter operable to apply a phase shift to a reference signal to produce a phase shifted reference signal. The RF circuit also includes a phase detector operable to detect a phase difference between the phase shifted RF signal and the phase shifted reference signal. The phase detector has a reduced input range at a frequency of the phase shifted RF signal. The RF circuit further includes a controller operable to control the phase shifter to set the phase of the phase shifted reference signal so that the phase difference between the phase shifted RF signal and the phase shifted reference signal falls within the reduced input range of the phase detector.

    Abstract: A voltage regulator utilizes an external pass transistor coupled between a supply voltage node and a regulated node. The voltage regulator includes an internal pass transistor that is coupled between the supply voltage node and the regulated node. A two-tap voltage divider between the regulated node and a ground node provides two feedback voltages. A first control loop that controls the external pass transistor receives the first feedback voltage and a second control loop that controls the internal pass transistor receives the second feedback voltage. At startup the control loops run concurrently but the first control loop is prioritized to reduce load current provided by the internal pass transistor at the end of startup. The voltage difference between the first and second feedback voltages ensures prioritization of the first control loop and the external pass transistor supplies most or all of the load current.

    Abstract: A plurality of chained clock dividers provides a plurality of generated clocks generated from a root clock. Each clock divider provides a generated clock having a lower frequency that its corresponding input clock and which transitions at falling edges of its corresponding input clock. Clock gating circuitry selectively gates the generated clocks based on a clock ready signal and provides the generated clocks as a corresponding plurality of safe clocks when the clock ready indicator indicates the generated clocks are ready. A delay circuit has an inverted clock input configured to receive a final generated clock. The delay circuit provides a trigger output in response to a falling edge of the final generated clock. A set of synchronization flip flops receives a clock enable signal and the trigger output and provides the clock ready indicator based on the clock enable signal and the trigger output.

The second feedback voltage is clamped to a first lower voltage threshold in response to the first voltage difference being less than the first lower voltage threshold.
