摘要: A circuit used in combination with a redundant power supply system to electrically disconnect its failed power supplies. The circuit comprises a power FET, a rectifier and filter circuit, a start-up circuit and a shut-down circuit. The rectifier and filter circuit rectifies an input AC waveform and subsequently filters a resultant DC voltage which is subsequently used to supply an output voltage at an output terminal connected to the power FET. In parallel with the rectifier and filter circuit, the start-up circuit is coupled to a gate of the power FET to ramp the voltage supplied to that gate slowly turning on the power FET. Coupled in parallel with the start-up circuit, the shut-down circuit conducts voltage from the gate thereby turning-off the power FET to preclude current from other power supplies of the redundant power supply system to pass current to its failed power supply.

摘要: A DC-DC voltage conversion provides a voltage to a processor in a mobile computer system using a high side power FET and a low side power FET, each having a variable gate discharge time dependent on the applied battery voltage. The power FETs are arranged in a synchronous totem pole configuration with a junction point therebetween, coupled between a voltage input terminal and ground, with the junction point coupled to a voltage output terminal. Each of the power FETs is driven by a FET driver, with the driver being coupled to the output of a comparator comparing a reference voltage with the output voltage. To avoid cross-conduction, the high side power FET and the low side power FET are coupled to each other in such a manner that the event of one turning off will turn on the other after a dead time determined by the threshold sense circuit, plus delays of the devices used in the embodiment.

摘要: A circuit for detecting peak current pulses on a secondary transformer of a power supply and converting these peak current pulses into a direct current (DC) voltages, which can be used for various purposes such as current limiting or current sharing. A peak detection circuit is coupled to the secondary transformer and is employed to detect a peak current pulse through the secondary transformer. A sample and hold circuit that is coupled to the peak detection circuit samples the current through a current sense transformer. The sample and hold circuit provides the current pulse through the secondary transformer in a direct current voltage representation. The sample and hold circuit includes a storage circuit for storing this direct current voltage representation of the current through the secondary transformer. The sample and hold circuit selectively samples the current through the current transformer in response to a control signal generated by the peak detection circuit.

摘要: A high precision DC-DC converter circuit having improved efficiency is disclosed. The DC-DC converter circuit includes a low accuracy switching regulator circuit for driving a switching field effect transistor (FET) on and off. A high accuracy output voltage regulator circuit is inserted into the feedback loop between the output of the DC-DC converter circuit and the sensing input of the switching regulator circuit such that the accuracy of the output voltage regulator circuit primarily determines the precision of the DC-DC converter. The DC-DC converter also includes a quick shut-off circuit coupled to the gate and source of the FET for driving the gate of the FET negative when the FET is switched off such that switching losses are minimized. A second embodiment of the high precision DC-DC converter is used to convert from 5.0 to 3.3 volts. The second embodiment includes a transformer, one winding of which is used as an output inductor. The second winding is used as part of a multiplying bootstrap circuit that approximately triples the 5.0 volt input voltage to drive the gate of an n-channel switching FET. The second embodiment also includes a circuit for extending the duty cycle of the switching regulator in response to a load transient on the output.
