    Abstract: In one example, an apparatus includes a base, a first inductor, and a second inductor. The first inductor is on the base. The first inductor has a first winding extension, a second winding extension, and a first winding coupled between the first winding extension and the second winding extension, in which at least a part of the second winding extension is vertically between at least a part of the first winding extension and the base. Also, the second inductor is on the base. The second inductor has a third winding extension, a fourth winding extension, and a second winding coupled between the third winding extension and the fourth winding extension, in which at least a part of the fourth winding extension is vertically between at least a part of the third winding extension and the base, and the second winding is laterally adjacent to the first winding.

    Abstract: A controller for a boost power factor correction (PFC) converter. The controller is configured to operate the boost PFC converter in multiple operating modes, including a continuous conduction mode (CCM), a transition mode (TM), and a hybrid mode in which the controller operates the converter in both CCM and TM within a same line cycle. An example controller includes a current control loop and a mode transition circuit. The current control loop is configured to compute an inductor current for each of first and second operation modes, based on a current sample taken, for example, during a boost synchronous rectifier conduction period of the converter. The mode transition circuit includes digital logic circuitry and is configured to generate a pulse indicating that one, two or all three of: zero-voltage switching (ZVS) has been achieved; the synchronous rectifier conduction period is active; and/or one of TM or hybrid mode is active.

    Abstract: Described systems, methods, and circuitries use an interleaved multi-level converter to convert an input signal received at an input node into an output signal at an output node. In one example, a power conversion system includes a first multi-level switching circuit, a second multi-level switching circuit, and a control circuit. The first multi-level switching circuit and the second multi-level switching circuit are coupled to a switching node, the input node, and a reference node. The control circuit is configured to generate, based on the output signal, switching control signals as pulse width modulated signals having a duty cycle to control the output signal and provide the switching control signals to the first multi-level switching circuit and the second multi-level switching circuit.

    Abstract: Described herein is a technology for implementing a scalable SCIB regulator for high conversion step down application. Particularly, the SCIB is configured to include stacked input switch circuits with parallel-connected output switch circuits. The input switch circuits are stacked with or without DC shift switch circuits in between. Furthermore, the input voltage is stepped down to a biasing voltage by input switch circuits and then is regulated to one or more output voltages having one or more independent and predetermined values by output switch circuits. The input switch circuits, output switch circuits and DC shift switch circuits can be modified for scalable power capability and ease of control and manufacturing.
