    Abstract: The present invention discloses a gate drive circuit for reducing a reverse recovery current of a power device, and belongs to the field of basic electronic circuit technologies. The gate drive circuit includes a high-voltage LDMOS transistor, a diode forming a freewheeling path when the diode is turned on or a low-voltage MOS transistor in anti-parallel connection with a body diode, and a voltage detection circuit. When the power device is turned off, a freewheeling current produced by an inductive load flows through a freewheeling diode, the voltage detection circuit detects that the freewheeling diode is turned on, and an output signal is processed by a control circuit, to cause the drive circuit to output a high level, so that channels of the power device and the high-voltage LDMOS transistor are turned on, the freewheeling current flows through the conductive channels, almost not through the freewheeling diode, and there is no reverse recovery current in the freewheeling diode at this time, thereby reducing the reverse recovery current of the power device.

    Abstract: An online monitoring unit and a control circuit for ultra-wide voltage range applications are disclosed. Compared with a conventional online monitoring unit, the present invention eliminates the need to reserve delay units, replaces flip-flops in the conventional online monitoring unit with a latch, and uses a transition detector with fewer transistors than that of a shadow latch in the conventional online monitoring unit, thereby reducing the area and the power consumption of the online monitoring unit significantly and improving the energy efficiency of online monitoring techniques. In addition, in the ultra-wide voltage range applications, the time borrowing property of the latch adopted by the present invention can be utilized to prevent a timing error caused by PVT variations, thus enabling the minimization of timing margin and ensuring higher power efficiency. The present invention also discloses a control circuit for use with the online monitoring unit.

    Abstract: The present invention discloses an ultra-low-power speech feature extraction circuit based on non-overlapping framing and serial fast Fourier transform (FFT), and belongs to the technical field of computation, calculation or counting. The circuit is oriented to the field of intelligence, and is integrally composed of a pre-process module, a windowing module, a Fourier transform module, a Mel filtering module, an adjacent frame merging module, a discrete cosine transform (DCT) module and other modules by optimizing the architecture of a Mel-frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) algorithm. Large-scale storage caused by framing is avoided in a non-overlapping framing mode, storage contained in the MFCC algorithm is further reduced, and the circuit area and the power consumption are greatly reduced. An FFT algorithm in the feature extraction circuit adopts a serial pipeline mode to process data, makes full use of the characteristics of serial inflow of audio data, and further reduces the storage area and operations of the circuit.
