    摘要: A voltage-regulator circuit with a low voltage drop uses a DMOS power transistor driven by a charge pump.

    摘要: The electronic interface circuit can perform ratiometric processing and driving of a signal generated by a fuel-level detector of a vehicle. The circuit uses a current mirror configured so as to send one half of the output current to the input resistance and one half of the output current to earth. The current mirror is controlled by a voltage taken from the input resistance and by a voltage taken from a resistive divider, the latter voltage having been filtered by a low-pass filter, so as to achieve ratiometric processing of the input signal.

    摘要: An improved circuit for controlling the maximum current in a MOS power transistor, in which resistor is in series with the drain-source path of the MOS power transistor. The supply terminal of a transconductance operational amplifier is connected to the output of a voltage-raising or charge pump circuit which can output a voltage higher than that of the voltage supply to which the drain of the MOS transistor is connected. The inputs of the amplifier are connected to the resistor and its output is connected to the gate of the MOS transistor so that, in operation, the maximum current flowing through the power transistor is limited to a value proportional to a reference voltage.

    摘要: In an anti-ESD protective structure, especially designed for pins destined to reach below ground and/or above supply voltages, includes a pair of Zener diodes or lateral NPN structures with a resistive connection between base and emitter, connected in opposition among each other between the pin to be protected and a grounded substrate of the integrated circuit. An amplifying effect on the leakage current which is drawn/injected through the pin by the protective structure caused by the triggering of an intrinsic parasitic transistor is effectively eliminated by connecting a biasing element, such as a forward biased junction, between the node of interconnection between the two Zener orlateral NPN structures and a node of the integrated circuit biased with a voltage sufficiently high as to ensure, under any condition, a reverse biasing of the base-emitter junction of the parasitic transistor.

    摘要: Described is an antisaturation circuit for an integrated PNP transistor characterized by a comparator circuit comprising two transistors and a current generator whose output current corresponds to a pre-established function, e.g., an exponential function, of the emitter current of said transistor. The changing of state of the comparator circuit, as determined by said pre-established function of said current generator, is determined by the drop of the V.sub.CE voltage of the transistor below a preset minimum value, with a portion of the conduction current of one of the two transistors of the comparator circuit utilized for increasing the forced .beta. of the transistor. This limits the degree of its saturation, as well as the leakage current toward the substrate.
