Abstract: Enhanced operational amplifier trim circuitry and techniques are presented herein. In one implementation, a circuit includes a reference circuit configured to produce a set of reference voltages, and a digital-to-analog conversion (DAC) circuit. The DAC circuit comprises a plurality of transistor pairs, where each pair among the plurality of transistor pairs is configured to provide portions of adjustment currents for an operational amplifier based at least on the set of reference voltages and sizing among transistors of each pair. The circuit also includes drain switching elements coupled to drain terminals of the transistors of each pair and configured to selectively couple one or more of the portions of the adjustment currents to the operational amplifier in accordance with digital trim codes.

Abstract: At least some embodiments are directed to a system comprising a capacitor coupled to a voltage supply rail and configured to carry a capacitor current that comprises first and second parts. The capacitor current is an alternating current (AC). A first current mirror component may couple to the capacitor and to the voltage supply rail and is configured to carry the first part of the capacitor current. A second current mirror component couples to the voltage supply rail and is configured to carry the second part of the capacitor current. The second part of the capacitor current is proportionally related to the first part of the capacitor current. A circuit couples to the second current mirror component. The capacitor and the first and second current mirror components are configured to attenuate a common mode noise current flowing to the circuit.

Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) provides an improved fail-safe signal to a circuit sharing a fail-safe pin at which the voltage can be greater than the voltage of an upper rail. The IC includes a first circuit segment that receives a first fail-safe signal and a first power-down signal and provides an intermediate signal, wherein the first fail-safe signal indicates when the voltage at the fail-safe pin is greater than the upper rail and the first power-down signal indicates when the module is powered down, and a second circuit segment connected to receive the intermediate signal and to provide the improved fail-safe signal to the module.

Abstract: A power control integrated circuit (IC) chip can include a direct current (DC)-DC converter that outputs a switching voltage in response to a switching output enable signal. The power control IC chip can also include an inductor detect circuit that detects whether an inductor is conductively coupled to the DC-DC converter and a powered circuit component in response to an inductor detect signal. The power control IC chip can further include control logic that (i) controls the inductor detect signal based on an enable DC-DC signal and (ii) controls the switching output enable signal provided to the DC-DC converter and a linear output disable signal provided to a linear regulator based on a signal from the inductor detect circuit indicating whether the inductor is conductively coupled to the DC-DC converter and the powered circuit component.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a voltage regulator is disclosed. The voltage regulator circuit includes a switch, a first feedback circuit and a second feedback circuit. The switch is configured to receive an input signal at a first terminal and an error signal at a second terminal and configured to generate an output signal at a third terminal. The first feedback circuit includes a first transistor and a second transistor configured to control the error signal at the second terminal of the switch in response to a difference between the output signal and a reference signal. The second feedback circuit is configured to sense the error signal and generate a tail current at the second node and the fourth node to maintain substantially equal currents in the first transistor and the second transistor, respectively, thereby causing a voltage of the output signal as substantially equal to a voltage of the reference signal.
