Abstract: Disclosed examples include isolated dual active bridge (DAB) DC to DC converters with first and second bridge circuits, a transformer with a sense coil, and a secondary side control circuit to provide secondary side switching control signals to regulate an output voltage or current signal by controlling a phase shift angle between switching transitions of the secondary side switching control signals and switching transitions of a secondary side clock signal, where the secondary side control circuit includes a clock recovery circuit to synchronize the secondary side clock signal to transitions in a sense coil voltage signal of the sense coil.

Abstract: Disclosed examples include isolated load switch driver circuits to drive a load, including an impedance circuit that receives a digital input voltage signal from a signal source, and selectively allows a current signal to flow from the signal source to charge a buffer capacitor. An impedance control circuit controls the impedance circuit to limit the current signal in response to the buffer capacitor reaching a first threshold voltage, and an output circuit provides an output isolated from the digital input voltage signal to switch the load. A signaling circuit selectively enables the output circuit to draw power from the buffer capacitor in response to the voltage of the buffer capacitor reaching the first threshold voltage.

Abstract: A switched voltage converter may be controlled with load current feedforward control loop in addition to an output voltage feedback loop. The converter includes a first switch device that is controlled to open and close at a selected switching rate with a selected duty cycle. The first switch device is coupled in series with an inductor and conducts current through the inductor while the first switch is closed. A second switch device conducts current from the inductor to an output capacitor and to load while the first switch is open to produce an output voltage and a resulting load current through the load. The load current is measured in a continuous manner and a load current feedforward control signal is generated that is representative of the load current. The switch rate and/or duty cycle of the first switch is adjusted in response to the load current feedforward control signal.

Abstract: A modulation device may include a variable burst regulator and a current-driven clock generator. The modulation device may include a first output terminal configured to provide a modulated voltage for an operating frequency over a modulation period. The current-driven clock generator may include a second input terminal configured to receive a buffered version of the modulated voltage. The current-driven clock generator may include a second output terminal configured to provide a modulated current during the modulation period. The operating frequency may be proportional to the modulated current. The operating frequency may control the operating frequency over the modulation period.

Abstract: A circuit support structure includes a first metal layer, a second metal layer, isolation material containing the first and second metal layers, an isolation circuit, a first plurality of contact pads, and a second plurality of contact pads. The isolation circuit includes a first circuit element in the first metal layer and a second circuit element in the second metal layer and electrically isolated from the first circuit element by the isolation material. The first plurality of contact pads is adapted to be coupled to a first integrated circuit on the circuit support structure and includes a first contact pad electrically coupled to the first circuit element. The second plurality of contact pads is adapted to be coupled to a second integrated circuit on the circuit support structure and includes a second contact pad electrically coupled to the second circuit element.
