    Abstract: Embodiments relate to a diode circuit which uses a Schottky diode. A parallel bypass branch has a switch and bypass diode in series. The operation of the switch is dependent on the voltage across the Schottky diode so that the bypass function is only effective when a desired voltage is reached. The diode circuit can be used as a replacement for a single diode, and provides bypass current protection preferably without requiring any external control input.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) includes circuitry in a plurality of power domains for transmitting and/or receiving radar chirp frames and first and second monitoring systems for monitoring supply voltages of a first and a second subset of the plurality of power domains, respectively. The first subset is monitored outside of a time window during which a chirp frame is transmitted and/or received utilizing circuitry of the IC, and the second subset is monitored during the time window. The first monitoring system includes an output for an error signal indicating a supply voltage in the first subset does not comply with a first voltage parameter. The second monitoring system includes a unique monitoring circuit for each power domain in the second subset, and each unique monitoring circuit includes an output for an error signal indicating a supply voltage in the second subset does not comply with a second voltage parameter.

    Abstract: A predictive controller for an inductive DC-DC converter comprising a switchable inductor is described. The predictive controller includes a DC-DC controller configured to generate a plurality of switching phases to control the inductor current in the switchable inductor, the duration of the switching phases being determined from at least one of a reference inductor current value and a reference output voltage value. The predictive controller includes a supervisory controller coupled to the DC-DC controller and configured to set a reference inductor current value dependent on an expected change in load current and/or voltage of a load configured to be connected to the load terminal. The expected change in load current and/or voltage is determined from a predetermined load profile.

    Abstract: A cascode transistor circuit comprising a depletion-mode switch in series with a normally-off switch between a drain output terminal and a source output terminal. The circuit also includes a controller comprising a controller output terminal configured to provide a normally-on control signal for a normally-on control terminal of the depletion-mode switch, wherein the normally-on control signal is independent of the normally-off control signal; a negative voltage source configured to provide a negative voltage to the normally-on control terminal of the depletion-mode switch; and a feedback capacitance between the drain output terminal and a control node in a circuit path between the controller output terminal and the normally-on control terminal of the depletion-mode switch.

    Abstract: A cascoded power semiconductor circuit is provided for power switches based on depletion-mode (normally on) devices. The control circuit makes use of a bootstrap arrangement that allows an active control of both power switches of a cascode circuit using a single gate driver.
