    摘要: An enhancement mode Group III nitride-based transistor device includes a body having a first surface and a Group III nitride barrier layer arranged on a Group III nitride channel layer and forming a heterojunction therebetween. A first cell field includes transistor cells and an edge region. Each transistor cell includes source, gate and drain fingers extending substantially parallel to one another on the first surface in a longitudinal direction. The gate finger, arranged laterally between the source and drain fingers, includes a p-doped Group III nitride finger arranged between a metallic gate finger and the first surface. The edge region surrounds the transistor cells and includes an edge termination structure having an isolation ring and a p-doped Group III nitride runner. The isolation ring locally interrupts the heterojunction. The runner, extending transversely to the longitudinal direction, is located laterally between the isolation ring and an end of the drain finger.

    摘要: A phase-shifted full bridge (PSFB) switching converter includes a transformer having a primary winding and a secondary winding; an input capacitor coupled to the primary winding via a first transistor full bridge; an output inductor coupled to the secondary winding via a synchronous rectifier circuit including at least one first transistor and at least one second transistor; and a controller circuit for generating switching signals for the rectifier circuit to operate the PSFB switching converter in reverse direction. During a startup phase, at the beginning of which the input capacitor is substantially discharged, the at least one first transistor is switched on in each switching cycle to allow an inductor current to pass from an output node, via the output inductor and the secondary winding, to a ground node, the at least one first transistor is again switched off when the inductor current reaches a threshold value.

    摘要: A power supply system comprises: a switched-capacitor converter, a transformer, and a voltage converter. The switched-capacitor converter includes multiple capacitors. The multiple capacitors are controllably switched in a circuit path including a primary winding of the transformer to convert the first voltage into a second voltage. The voltage converter converts the first voltage produced by the switched-capacitor converter into the second voltage that powers a load.

    摘要: An apparatus includes a controller. To control current through a motor winding, the controller monitors a magnitude of current supplied through the motor winding. The controller compares the magnitude of current to a threshold value. In response to detecting that the magnitude of current crosses the threshold value, the controller terminates a flow of the current through the motor winding. In one application, termination of the current through the motor winding supports more efficient use of energy to drive the motor winding. For example, via the controller, terminating the current through the motor winding to prevent the current from flowing in a reverse direction through the motor winding.
