Abstract: A multiple mode switching regulator with a bootstrap technique includes an inductor 20; a high side input switch 22 coupled to a first end of the inductor 20; a low side input switch 24 coupled to the first end of the inductor 20; a high side driver 34 coupled to a control node of the high side input switch 22; a low side driver 36 coupled to a control node of the low side input switch 24; a high side output switch 26 coupled to a second end of the inductor 20; a low side output switch 28 coupled to the second end of the inductor 20; a first bootstrap capacitor 30 coupled between the first end of the inductor 20 and a voltage supply node of the high side driver 34; a second bootstrap capacitor 32 coupled between the second end of the inductor 20 and a voltage supply node of the low side driver 36; and a first diode 40 coupled between the voltage supply node of the high side driver 34 and the voltage supply node of the low side driver 36. The two bootstrap capacitors 30 and 32 are employed on both sides of inductor 20 to provide gate voltage to high side input switch 22 through high side driver 34 in any mode of operation. This allows the regulator to work in three modes of operation without different external components or configurations depending on the mode.

Abstract: A high-breakdown voltage transistor (30; 30′) is disclosed. The transistor (30; 30′) is formed into a well arrangement in which a shallow, heavily doped, well (44) is disposed at least partially within a deeper, more lightly-doped well (50), both formed into an epitaxial layer (43) of the substrate (42). The deep well (50) is also used, by itself, for the formation of high-voltage transistors, while the shallower well (44) is used by itself in low-voltage, high-performance transistors. This construction permits the use of high-performance, and precisely matching, transistors in high bias voltage applications, without fear of body-to-substrate (or “back-gate-to-substrate”) junction breakdown.

This reduces the power dissipation of parasitic capacitances (36) associated with array (14) pursuant to the equation P=½CV2f.

Abstract: A circuit for protecting a transistor against electrical transients. The circuit comprises a first diode coupled between a first terminal coupled to a power supply and a control terminal of the protected transistor. The circuit also comprises a second diode and a resistor coupling the control terminal of the protected transistor to a reference potential. A second transistor is coupled in shunt to the protected transistor. The voltage on the control terminal of the second transistor is determined by the current through the resistor. The embodiments may be implemented in an integrated circuit wherein the second, shunting transistor is formed from parasitic elements within the semiconductor body in which the protected transistor is formed. In one embodiment, the protected MOS transistor is formed in an n-well 504 and a shunting bipolar transistor is formed between the n-well 504 and an n-doped guard ring 500 formed adjacent to the n-well in the p-doped substrate 508.
