    Abstract: In some embodiments, a resistor string digital to analog converter (DAC) comprises a first plurality of resistors disposed in a first column. Each of the first plurality of resistors couples to an output of the first column via one of a first plurality of switches. The DAC also comprises a second plurality of resistors disposed in a second column. Each of the second plurality of resistors couples to an output of the second column via one of a second plurality of switches. The second plurality of resistors is configured to couple in series with the first plurality of resistors. A first row selection signal is to control a first switch of the first plurality of switches and a second switch of the second plurality of switches. The first switch corresponds to a first resistor disposed at a top of the first column, and the second switch corresponds to a second resistor disposed at a bottom of the second column.

    Abstract: A circuit includes a first voltage divider having a set of most significant bit (MSB) outputs each representative of a value of a MSB portion of a digital code. The circuit also includes a second voltage divider having a first upper voltage input configured to couple to a first one of a first pair of outputs of the set of MSB outputs, and a first lower voltage input configured to couple to a second one of the first pair of outputs of the set of MSB outputs. The circuit also includes a third voltage divider having a second upper voltage input configured to couple to a first one of a second pair of outputs of the set of MSB outputs, and a second lower voltage input configured to couple to a second one of the second pair of outputs of the set of MSB outputs.

    Abstract: A power stage controller includes: a multi-phase pulse control circuit; a current sense circuit; a comparator; an error amplifier; and a mode controller. The mode controller includes a mode controller input and a summation circuit. The summation circuit has a first summation circuit input, a second summation circuit input and a summation circuit output, the first summation circuit input is coupled to the error amplifier output, and the summation circuit output is coupled to the first comparator input. The mode controller is configured to: select one of a main controller mode or a secondary controller mode responsive to a mode control voltage at the mode controller input; bypass the summation circuit responsive to selection of the main controller mode; and enable the summation circuit responsive to selection of the secondary controller mode.
