    Abstract: In described examples, an amplifier can be arranged to generate a first stage output signal in response to an input signal. The input signal can be coupled to control a first current coupled from a first current source through a common node to generate the first stage output signal. A replica circuit can be arranged to generate a replica load signal in response to the input signal and in response to current received from the common node. A current switch can be arranged to selectively couple a second current from a second current source to the common node in response to the replica load signal.

    Abstract: A power control integrated circuit (IC) chip can include a direct current (DC)-DC converter that outputs a switching voltage in response to a switching output enable signal. The power control IC chip can also include an inductor detect circuit that detects whether an inductor is conductively coupled to the DC-DC converter and a powered circuit component in response to an inductor detect signal. The power control IC chip can further include control logic that (i) controls the inductor detect signal based on an enable DC-DC signal and (ii) controls the switching output enable signal provided to the DC-DC converter and a linear output disable signal provided to a linear regulator based on a signal from the inductor detect circuit indicating whether the inductor is conductively coupled to the DC-DC converter and the powered circuit component.

    Abstract: Several circuits and methods for driver control of a switching circuit are disclosed. In an embodiment, a circuit for driver control of a switching circuit includes a driver circuit and a control circuit. The driver circuit is capable of being coupled to the switching circuit. The switching circuit includes a first switch and a second switch. The driver circuit is configured to control a conductive state of the switching circuit by facilitating an alternate state change of the first switch and the second switch. The control circuit is coupled to the driver circuit and is configured to detect a noise signal during a state change of the first switch. The control circuit is further configured to control the driver circuit to thereby slow down the state change of the first switch.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present invention provide a DC/DC converter for use with a supply voltage and operable to drive a load, wherein the DC/DC converter includes a VIN node, a VOUT node, a switching component, a filter, a comparator, a current detecting component and a control component. The VIN node can receive the supply voltage and the VOUT node can provide an output voltage to drive the load. The filter electrically connects the switching component with the VOUT node. The comparator can generate a comparison signal based on the output voltage. The current detecting component can detect when a current in a direction from the filter toward the VOUT node decreases to zero. The control component can control the switching component so as to provide the output voltage at the VOUT node in a discontinuous conduction mode to drive the load.
