    Abstract: An H-bridge circuit includes a supply voltage node, a first pair of transistors and a second pair of transistors. First transistors in each pair have the current paths therethrough included in current flow lines between the supply node and, respectively, a first output node and a second output node. Second transistors in each pair have the current paths therethrough coupled to a third output node and a fourth output node, respectively. The first and third output nodes are mutually isolated from each other and the second and fourth output nodes are mutually isolated from each other. The H-bridge circuit is operable in a selected one of a first, second and third mode.

    Abstract: A controller for compensating a voltage drop on a cable includes an output stage coupled to a channel configuration pin of the source device, a processor coupled to a power supply pin of a source device, and an error amplifier that includes a positive input coupled to a reference voltage, a negative input coupled to the channel configuration pin, a first output coupled to the output stage, and a second output coupled to the processor. The error amplifier is configured to supply a first signal to the output stage indicating a voltage difference between the reference voltage and a voltage at the channel configuration pin. The output stage is configured to supply an output current to the processor using the voltage drop and a stored current determined using the first signal. The processor is configured to generate a compensated supply voltage on the power supply pin using the output current.

    Abstract: A bumping matrix includes many bumps, wherein each bump is rotationally asymmetric in a plane of the bumping matrix. The bumps are orientated in a centripetal arrangement. Bumps in a first portion of the bumping matrix have a first pitch in a first axis and bumps in a second portion of the bumping matrix have a second pitch in the first axis. The second pitch is different from the first pitch. Bumps have an oblong shape with a longer diameter and a shorter diameter. The centripetal arrangement orients the longer diameter of the bumps is a direction radially extending from a center of the bumping matrix.
