摘要： An embodiment of a power supply includes an input node operable to receive an input voltage, an output node operable to provide a regulated output voltage, an odd number of magnetically coupled phase paths each coupled between the input and output nodes, and a first magnetically uncoupled phase path coupled between the input and output nodes. Such a power supply may improve its efficiency by activating different combinations of the coupled and uncoupled phase paths depending on the load conditions. For example, the power supply may activate only an uncoupled phase path during light-load conditions, may activate only coupled phase paths during moderate-load conditions, and may activate both coupled and uncoupled phase paths during heavy-load conditions and during a step-up load transient.

摘要： An optoelectronics apparatus selectively drives a light source, and includes four electrically isolated photodetector (PD) segments that detect light that has reflected off an object. Each of the four PD segments produces a corresponding signal, referred to as signals A, B, C and D, indicative of the light detected by the respective PD segment. Circuitry is used to produce a first motion signal indicative of a sum of the signals A plus B minus a sum of the signals C plus D, i.e., the first motion signal is indicative of (A+B)−(C+D). Further circuitry produces a second motion signal indicative of (B+C)−(A+D). Additional circuitry produces a signal and/or data that is indicative of a direction and/or rate of motion of an object, in dependence on the first and second motion signals.

摘要： Provided herein are methods and systems that provide automatic compensation for frequency attenuation of a video signal transmitted over a cable. In accordance with an embodiment, a system includes an equalizer and a compensation controller. The equalizer receives a video signal that was transmitted over a cable, provides compensation for frequency attenuation that occurred during the transmission over the cable, and outputs a compensated video signal. The compensation controller automatically adjusts the compensation provided by the equalizer based on comparisons of one or more portions of the compensated video signal to one or more reference voltage levels. One or more values indicative of one or more levels of compensation provided by the equalizer are stored in memory and/or registers for each time, of a plurality of times. A monitor monitors for changes in the cable and/or the video signal transmitted over the cable based on the stored values. Additionally, the monitor can selectively trigger an alert based on changes in the one or more stored values.

摘要： Correcting phase error in a two-channel TIADC system in a manner that is independent of the Nyquist zone(s) occupied by the input signal. In the preferred approach this is done using the gradient of a phase error estimate. The gradient may be determined from a simplified expression of linear regression; the direction of the adaptation is then controlled by the sign of the gradient. The adaptive algorithm converges to the optimal value regardless of the Nyquist zone occupied by the input signal.

摘要： A phase current sharing network that adjusts operation of a current mode multiphase switching regulator in which the phase current sharing network includes multiple synthetic ripple networks and a current share network. The regulator develops phase currents including ripple currents through corresponding phase inductors as controlled by corresponding pulse control signals. Each synthetic ripple networks develops a corresponding ripple voltage that simulates a corresponding phase ripple current and uses the ripple voltages to develop the pulse control signals. The current share network adjusts each ripple voltage by a combined adjustment value. The combined adjustment value is a combination of phase adjustment values in which each phase adjustment value is based on a difference between a corresponding one of ripple voltage and a reference voltage. Transconductance amplifiers may be used to convert the voltage differences to current adjust values applied to the ripple capacitors developing the ripple voltages.
