    摘要: A charging circuit for a bootstrap capacitance employing an integrated LDMOS transistor and including a circuital device for preventing the turning on a parasitic transistors of the integrated LDMOS structure during transients that comprises a plurality of directly biased junctions (D1, D2, . . . , Dn) connected in series between a source and a body of the LDMOS transistor structure and at least a current generator, tied to ground potential, coupled between said body and ground, has at least one switch (INT1) between said source and a first junction (D1) of said plurality of junctions and a limiting resistance (R) connected between the body and the current generator (GEN). The switch (INT1) is kept open during a charging phase of the bootstrap capacitance (Cboot) and is closed when the charge voltage (Vboot) of the bootstrap capacitance reaches a preset threshold. Moreover, the body voltage (VB) is prevented from exceeding the source voltage (VS) plus a Vbe, by controlling a discharge path (T2) with a control stage (T1, R1) in response to a drop of the voltage on the limiting resistance (R). This body voltage control circuit is enabled by a second switch (INT2) driven in phase with the first switch (INT1).

    摘要: The circuit comprises a tank capacitance and a charge circuit supplied with the same voltage as the bridge and comprising an inductance and a control transistor. There is also provided a control circuit, which comprises an oscillator controlling the periodic switching of control transistor and a comparator which controls the momentary clamping of control transistor in the condition wherein the charge circuit is interrupted when the difference between the voltage across capacitance and the power supply voltage exceeds a present maximum value and the unclamping of the same transistor when such difference falls below a preset minimum value. A further comparator similarly clamps control transistor if there is an excess current in the transistor itself.

    摘要: In a power converter circuit directly or indirectly connected to the power distribution network, the protection from voltage spikes which may occur on the power supply rail is implemented in a manner as to consent the utilization of at least a portion of the energy associated with the spike by storing portion of said energy in the reactive components of the converter circuit itself instead of dissipating completely the energy through a dissipating elements as in prior art arrangements. The novel circuit arrangement utilizes one or two spike sensors the output signal or signals of which are fed to logic gates which determine a certain configuration of the analog switches of the converter circuit. A protection voltage limiting element (zener diode, avalanche diode, voltage-dependent resistor, etc.) is functionally connected across the analog switch connected between the reactive element of the converter circuit and the power supply rail and limits to its intrinsic breakdown voltage the maximum voltage across the switch.

    摘要: A circuit for driving capacitive loads in a highly efficient manner. In one embodiment, a drive portion is connected to at least one end of a capacitive electric load being applied a voltage waveform. The embodiment further comprises a switching circuit portion having its output connected to the above one end of the capacitive load in order to supply a fraction of the overall current demanded by the load. Additionally, a switching circuit and accompanying switching method provide for efficiently supplying peak current to the capacitive load during voltage fluctuation in the voltage waveform. Briefly, the invention is a circuit arrangement aimed at providing a highly efficient drive for the capacitive load, using a combined linear/switching setup and without distorting the quality of the waveform generated across the capacitive load.

    摘要: A power supply in which control of the switch-on instant of a power device of a boost-circuit (operating in a discontinuous mode) is implemented by monitoring the current which actually flows through the "fly-back" inductance. The current is monitored on a sensing resistance, and, by the use of a comparator, a signal is produced for enabling/disabling the transfer to an input of a PWM driving circuit of a switch-on signal produced by a null detector. This configuration provide good noise immunity, which is particularly useful in power-factor-correction applications, and reduced power dissipation.

    摘要: A control circuit for a power transistor, connected between two supply terminals in series with a load. The control circuit comprises a control logic circuit which produces a signal at two levels with respect to a reference terminal, a level shifter connected between the control circuit and the power transistor, which produces a signal at two levels relative to the node between the power transistor and the load. The level shifter comprises a flip-flop the output of which controls the power transistor, and an electronic switch, for example a MOSFET transistor, connected between the "set" input of the flip-flop and the node and controlled by the "reset" input of the flip-flop in such a way as to be closed when the "reset" input is greater, by a predetermined value, than that of the node. The electronic switch prevents the parasitic current flowing through the set and reset inputs from erroneously switching the power transistor.
