    Abstract: A multi-phase high-precision current sharing control method applied to constant on-time control is provided, wherein a current difference between continuously sampled current of each line and mean current is processed by a PI compensation module and a low-pass filter module to obtain on-time regulation data. A high bit of the regulation data controls the value of counter reference Vref in an on-time control module, and a low bit controls the length of an enabled delay line in a delay line module. The counter timing control of the on-time control module is combined with the delay line timing control of the delay line module to improve the control precision of a DPWM. The method takes COT control of a Buck converter as a typical application. Compared with a multi-phase COT controller without a current-sharing mechanism, the method can improve the stability and reliability of the system.

    Abstract: The present invention discloses a high-threshold power semiconductor device and a manufacturing method thereof. The high-threshold power semiconductor device includes, in sequence from bottom to top: a metal drain electrode, a substrate, a buffer layer, and a drift region; further including: a composite column body which is jointly formed by a drift region protrusion, a columnar p-region and a columnar n-region on the drift region, a channel layer, a passivation layer, a dielectric layer, a heavily doped semiconductor layer, a metal gate electrode and a source metal electrode. The composite column body is formed by sequentially depositing a p-type semiconductor layer and an n-type semiconductor layer on the drift region and then etching same. The channel layer and the passivation layer are formed in sequence by deposition. Thus, the above devices are divided into a cell region and a terminal region. The dielectric layer, the heavily doped semiconductor layer, the metal gate electrode and the source metal electrode only exist in the cell region, and the passivation layer of the terminal region extends upwards and is wrapped outside the channel layer. This structure can increase a threshold voltage of the device, improve the blocking characteristics of the device and reduce the size of a gate capacitance.

    Abstract: A lateral insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) with a low turn-on overshoot current is provided to reduce a peak value of a current flowing through a device during turn-on of a second gate pulse while preventing a current capability and a withstand voltage capability from being degraded. The lateral IGBT includes: a buried oxygen arranged on a P-type substrate, an N-type drift region arranged on the buried oxygen, on which a P-type body region and an N-type buffer region are arranged, a P-type collector region arranged in the N-type buffer region, a field oxide layer arranged above the N-type drift region, a P-type well region arranged in the P-type body region, and a P-type emitter region and an emitter region arranged in the P-type well region, where inner boundaries of the foregoing 4 regions are synchronously recessed to form a pinch-off region. A gate oxide layer is arranged on a surface of the P-type body region, and a polysilicon gate is arranged on the gate oxide layer. The polysilicon gate includes a first gate located above the surface of the P-type body region and a second gate located above the pinch-off region and the N-type drift region. The first gate is connected to a first gate resistor, and the second gate is connected to a second gate resistor.

    Abstract: The present invention discloses an ultra-low-power speech feature extraction circuit based on non-overlapping framing and serial fast Fourier transform (FFT), and belongs to the technical field of computation, calculation or counting. The circuit is oriented to the field of intelligence, and is integrally composed of a pre-process module, a windowing module, a Fourier transform module, a Mel filtering module, an adjacent frame merging module, a discrete cosine transform (DCT) module and other modules by optimizing the architecture of a Mel-frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) algorithm. Large-scale storage caused by framing is avoided in a non-overlapping framing mode, storage contained in the MFCC algorithm is further reduced, and the circuit area and the power consumption are greatly reduced. An FFT algorithm in the feature extraction circuit adopts a serial pipeline mode to process data, makes full use of the characteristics of serial inflow of audio data, and further reduces the storage area and operations of the circuit.

    Abstract: A two-way adaptive clock circuit supporting a wide frequency range is composed of a phase clock generating module, a phase clock selecting module, an adaptive clock stretching or compressing amount regulating circuit module and a control module. The adaptive clock stretching or compressing amount regulating circuit module can monitor delay information of a critical path in a chip in real time and feed the information back into the control module. After receiving a clock stretching or compressing enable signal and a stretching or compressing scale signal, the control module selects a target phase clock from clocks generated by the phase clock generating module to rapidly regulate an adaptive clock in a current cycle. The present invention is applied to an adaptive voltage frequency regulating circuit based on on-line time sequence monitoring.
