    Abstract: An embodiment of a thermoelectric device may include a plurality of thermoelectric cells disposed between first and second planes. Each of the thermoelectric cells may include a thermoelectric element formed from a thermoelectric material of a single semiconductor type, the thermoelectric element including a first end, a second end, and a portion extending from the first end to the second end, the portion extending from the first end to the second end including at least two surfaces that face each other; and at least one conductive element electrically connected to and extending away from the second end of the thermoelectric element toward the first end of the thermoelectric element of another thermoelectric cell. Each thermoelectric cell also may further include an insulating element disposed between the at least two surfaces of the thermoelectric element and between portions of the at least one conductive element.

    Abstract: Power isolators with multiple selectable feedback modes are described. The power isolators may transfer a power signal from a primary side to a second side. A feedback signal may be provided from the secondary side to the primary side to control generation of the power signal on the primary side. In this manner, the power signal provided to the secondary side may be maintained within desired levels. The feedback signal may be generated by feedback circuitry configurable to operate in different modes, such that the feedback signal may be of differing types depending on which feedback mode is implemented.

    Abstract: Isolated DC-DC converters are described. A DC-DC converter is a device which converts a direct current (DC) signal from one voltage to another. An isolated DC-DC converter performs the conversion across an electrical isolation barrier separating two voltage domains. The signal converted from one voltage to another, and transferred from one voltage domain to another, may be a power signal. Described are isolated DC-DC converters which transfer a power signal from one voltage domain to another via an isolator, and a power feedback signal back across the isolator. The isolator is a transformer in some situations.

    Abstract: Isolated DC-DC converters and methods for operating the same are described herein. DC-DC converters include a driver that drives a primary winding of a transformer to transmit power to a secondary winding of the transformer across an isolation barrier. In some embodiments, a pair of symmetrical serial capacitors are provided between the driver and the primary winding of a resonant DC-DC converter with an on-chip transformer to slow down variations of a common mode voltage on the primary winding during operation. This in turn can suppress radiation emissions related to time variation rates of the common mode voltage and, and can also improve electromagnetic interference (EMI) performance of the DC-DC converter.
