    摘要: A DC-DC boost converter comprises a charge pump selectively operating in a voltage doubler or in a voltage tripler mode. A switching arrangement connects the charge pump to an input voltage terminal in a charge phase and to an output voltage terminal in a discharge phase. A controllable current source is connected in series with the charge pump in the discharge phase and an error amplifier has a first input connected to a reference voltage, a second input connected to the output voltage terminal and an output connected to a control input of the controllable current source. The converter further comprises a mode changeover circuit with a first comparator having a first input connected to the output of the error amplifier and a second input connected to a first threshold voltage source. A second comparator has a first input connected to the output of the error amplifier and a second input connected to a second threshold voltage source. A flip-flop has its set input connected to the output of the first comparator, its reset input connected to the output of the second comparator. The flip-flop has its output connected to the switch arrangement to switch the charge pump from doubler mode to tripler mode when the voltage at the output of the error amplifier exceeds the second threshold voltage and back to doubler mode when the output voltage at the error amplifier drops below the first threshold voltage.

    摘要: An otoplasty for behind-the-ear provisions for hearing aids, with which a preferably flexible signal conductor coming from the behind-the-ear device, such as a sound tube, can be positioned in the auditory canal. The otoplasty is individually adapted to the anatomy of the patient. Its fixing part is essentially in the form of a hook that follows the outer edge of the patient's cavum conchae in an arch, at least in some areas. A limb that follows the edge of the cavum conchae becomes a bent transversal section above the patient's antitragus, traversing the cavum conchae, extending in the direction of the patient's porus acusticus externus and expanding at its end section which comes to rest in the upper area of the auditory canal, to receive the signal conductor.

    摘要: A DC/DC converter has a linear voltage regulator for reducing or eliminating the output ripple of the converter with a minimum loss of efficiency. The converter comprises a converter stage with a supply voltage input, a converted voltage output and a control input, a regulator stage having an input connected to the converted voltage output of the converter stage and an output connected to a load, and a tracking circuit with inputs for a voltage at the converted voltage output of the converter stage, a voltage at the output of the regulator stage and a load sense current, and an output connected to the control input of the converter stage. The tracking circuit controls the converter stage so as to increase the converted voltage with an increasing load sense current and vice versa. The output voltage of the converter is always just sufficient to eliminate the ripple without having to operate the regulator's pass transistor in its linear range.

    摘要: A phase detector circuit (10) for generating an analog signal (VR) dependent upon the phase difference between two digital signals (VE, VA) includes two NOR circuits (20, 27) to the inputs (18, 26; 28, 24) of which the two digital signals are supplied on the one hand delayed and negated and on the other directly. The output signals of the NOR circuits (20, 27) control two current sources (S1, S2), one of which in the activated state furnishes a constant charge current (I1) for a storage capacitor (C) whilst the other of which leads a constant discharge current (I2) of equal magnitude away from said storage capacitor (C). The charge voltage at said storage capacitor (C) is an analog signal (VR) which represents a measure of the phase deviation between the digital signals (VE, VA).

    摘要: The present invention relates to a voltage multiplier for generating an output voltage which is several times greater than the operating voltage for connection of a load connected to ground to the operating voltage by means of an N-channel power MOS transistor, comprising a plurality of capacitors (C1, C2, C3), a control input (C) for supplying a control signal, an output (V.sub.out), an operating voltage terminal (Vb) and a ground terminal (M). In known voltage multipliers, for rectification and multiplication of the output voltage diodes are used which reduce the maximum output voltage obtainable and restrict the clock frequency of the control signal to a few hundred kHz. In contrast, the voltage multiplier according to the invention has a high efficiency and can also be used at high clock frequencies; it includes a switchover means which comprises a control signal generator (S) having a plurality of inverters (I0, I1, I2, I3) and a first and second group of switch elements which are constructed as MOS field-effect transistors and can be driven with clock frequencies of up to 4 MHz. These MOS field-effect transistors are controlled by means of the control signal generator (S) by control signals in such a manner that the capacitors are periodically switched between a series connection and a parallel connection.

    摘要: A process for photolithographically producing matt diffusion patterns is disclosed. The matt diffusion patterns can be formed along with opaque and transparent patterns on the same pattern carrier plate. According to this process, a photoexposure mask corresponding to the desired matt pattern is made by photolithography, which mask is then used in subsequent photolithographic processes to form the matt diffusion pattern on pattern carrier plates. The process of making the exposure mask involves forming a mask of a desired diffusion pattern, applying a photoresist layer to the mask, exposing the photoresist layer through a diffusion plate, developing the photoresist layer, applying an opaque layer to the mask, and removing the photoresist layer. In subsequent photolithographic processes the exposure mask is printed on transparent pattern carrier plates, and the exposed areas of the pattern carrier plates are deeply etched to form the matt diffusion patterns.

    摘要: A power switching circuit in CMOS technology has a power MOS transistor and a driver stage. The power MOS transistor is operated at a higher supply voltage in excess of its maximum allowable gate-source voltage; and the driver stage of the level shifter is operated at a lower supply voltage substantially lower than the supply voltage for the power MOS transistor. The driver stage includes a pair of driver MOS transistors coupled in series between a higher supply voltage rail and a reference potential rail, and at an interconnection node coupled to the gate of the power MOS transistor. The gates of the driver MOS transistors are AC-coupled to drive signals of mutually opposite phase; and the gates of the driver MOS transistors are each connected to the higher voltage supply rail through a respective parallel connection of a first resistor and a second resistor connected in series with a non-linear component. The resistance value of the second resistor is substantially smaller than the resistance value of the first resistor.
