    摘要: In at least one general aspect, an apparatus can include a first field effect transistor (FET) device and a second FET device. The apparatus can include a characterization circuit coupled to the first FET device and the second FET device where the characterization circuit can be configured to characterize a responsiveness of each of the first FET device and the second FET device. The apparatus can include a balancer configured to produce a modified gate drive signal for the first FET device based on the responsiveness of the first FET device.

    摘要: An audio switch circuit includes negative feedback paths and a transistor that serves as a switching component. The negative feedback paths are turned ON to couple a source voltage and a drain voltage of the transistor to the gate of the transistor when the audio switch circuit is turned ON. The negative feedback paths reduce the slew rate of the gate-to-source voltage of the transistor, thereby slowing the turn-ON of the audio switch circuit to prevent or minimize unwanted audible noise. The negative feedback paths can be turned OFF after a period of time after the audio switch circuit is turned ON for improved total harmonic distortion.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for a dynamic bias generator are provided. In an example, a dynamic bias generator for a voltage regulator can include a slope generator and a peak detector coupled to the slope generator. In certain examples, the slope generator and the peak detector can receive a representation of output current of the voltage regulator and can adjust a bias control voltage at an output of the peak detector in response to a change in the output current of the voltage regulator.

    摘要: Devices and methods provide a voltage regulating device including voltage supply circuitry configured to receive a first voltage, generate at least a second voltage based on the first voltage, and output an output voltage, the output voltage being one of the first voltage and the second voltage based on a voltage selection signal; regulator circuitry configured to switch between the output voltage and a reference potential based on a control signal; and control circuitry configured to generate the control signal, the control signal having a first duty cycle if the output voltage is the first voltage and a second duty cycle if the output voltage is the second voltage, the control circuitry configured to adjust the second duty cycle based on, at least in part, a droop voltage in the regulator circuitry.
