摘要:
The problem of charge leakage in the AC compensation filter for the error amplifier of a pulse width modulation (PWM)-based DC—DC converter is effectively obviated by controllably sampling and storing the voltage across the AC compensation filter, in response to a transition of the operation of a DC power supply from run or active mode to quiescent or sleep mode. The sampled voltage is retained as a compensation voltage throughout the quiescent mode, so that it will be immediately available to the PWM circuitry at the termination of the quiescent interval. This serves to ensure a relatively smooth (low noise) power supply switch-over during a subsequent transition from quiescent to active mode.

A programmably switched, multi-output stage current mirror-based, current-sensing and correction circuit controls the operation of a buck mode DC—DC converter. This correction circuit generates a correction current having a prescribed step-wise temperature-compensating relationship to sensed current. The sensed current is derived from a variable impedance controlled by a sense amplifier coupled via a current feedback resistor to the common output node between a high side power switching device and a low side power switching device of the converter. To program the correction circuit a decoder maps temperature information associated with the low side power switching device and additional programming information into a current mirror control code.
摘要:
A method of generating a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) word during transmission and of validating a CRC word during reception in a multiplex data communication system using a single CRC register. A CRC word is generated as data are transmitted by calculating the CRC word based on reflected data, rather than on the transmitted data. The transmitted data is reflected back to the transmitting unit's CRC generation block and the CRC word is immediately generated and appended to the outgoing transmission. In an aspect of the invention and to check whether the transmission was error-free, the one's complement of a CRC word is generated and stored in a CRC register, and the reflected transmission of the CRC word is circulated through the CRC register to yield a predetermined constant value if the transmission was error free.
