A first switch is switched to short a multi-functional pin of an integrated circuit to a ground terminal or let a current supplied to the multi-functional pin to flow to a second switch connected to the multi-functional pin. Before the integrated circuit is ready, the second switch is closed circuit and is detected its current to determine a first signal to enable or disable the integrated circuit. After the integrated circuit is ready, the second switch is open circuit, the voltage at the multi-functional pin is detected to determine a second signal to enable or disable the integrated circuit, and when the voltage at the multi-functional pin is higher than a threshold, a power good signal is triggered.

The present invention discloses a control circuit of a switching regulator wherein a confirmation signal is generated to confirm that an upper gate switch has been turned off, to avoid shoot-through. The confirmation signal is generated by obtaining an upper gate sampling signal from a transistor in a level shift circuit which receives a resetting signal for turning off the upper gate switch.

A parameter setting circuit and method for an integrated circuit apply a pulse current to a pin of the integrated circuit during a programming mode of the integrated circuit, and then extract the difference between the voltage on the pin and the DC component of the voltage on the pin to determine a setting signal for parameter setting to an internal circuit of the integrated circuit. By this way, an input pin, an output pin or an input/output pin of the integrated circuit may be used as the pin implementing the parameter setting function.

A feedback loop is used to optimize a zero current threshold for a switching regulator. After the low side power switch of the switching regulator turns off, the switching node state is monitored to adjust the zero current threshold in a real time and thus the low-side power switch is prevented from turning off too early or too late. Thereby the efficiency in green mode is optimized.

An apparatus for interleaved phase shift clock synchronization includes a master clock generator and at least one slave clock generator. The master clock generator provides a ramp signal or reset signal for each slave clock generator to generate a clock synchronized with the clock of the master clock generator, and the master and slave clock generators have different reference voltages for generating clocks. Therefore, the clocks generated will be synchronized and interleaved phase with each other.
