Abstract: In an example method of trimming a voltage reference circuit, the method includes: setting the circuit to a first temperature; trimming a first resistor (RDEGEN) of a differential amplifier stage of the circuit; and trimming a first resistor (R1) of a scaling amplifier stage of the circuit. The trimming equalizes current flow through the differential amplifier stage and the scaling amplifier stage. The method includes: trimming a second resistor (R2) of the scaling amplifier stage to set an output voltage of the circuit to a target voltage at the first temperature; setting the circuit to a second temperature; and trimming a second resistor (RPTAT) of the differential amplifier stage, a third resistor (R1PTAT) of the scaling amplifier stage, and a fourth resistor (R2PTAT) of the scaling amplifier stage to set the output voltage of the circuit to the target voltage at the second temperature.

Abstract: An electronic circuit includes a first transistor, a second transistor, and a variable resistor. The first transistor has a first threshold voltage. The second transistor has a second threshold voltage that is different from the first threshold voltage. The second transistor is coupled to the first transistor. The variable resistor is coupled to the first transistor and the second transistor. The variable resistor is configured to adjust a temperature coefficient of the electronic circuit. The electronic circuit is configured to generate a reference voltage based on a difference of the first threshold voltage and the second threshold voltage.

Abstract: A power-on-reset (POR) circuit includes an NFET branch and a PFET branch. The NFET branch includes: an n-channel field effect transistor (NFET) having a first threshold voltage; and a first quiescent bias current source coupled between a supply terminal and the NFET. The PFET branch includes: a p-channel field effect transistor (PFET) having a second threshold voltage; and a second quiescent bias current source coupled between a ground terminal and the PFET. The POR circuit is configured to provide a POR signal at an output terminal based on: the first threshold voltage or the second threshold voltage, whichever is larger; and a voltage margin. The output terminal is coupled between the PFET branch and the second quiescent bias current source.

Abstract: In described examples, a sawtooth waveform generator generates a sawtooth waveform having a first rise time. A comb waveform circuit has a power terminal coupled to receive the sawtooth waveform from an output of the sawtooth waveform generator. The comb waveform circuit generates a comb waveform in response to the sawtooth waveform. The comb waveform has a second rise time that is faster than the first rise time.

Abstract: A switch-mode power supply includes a DC-DC converter and metering circuitry that is coupled to the DC-DC converter. The metering circuitry includes scaling circuitry, a current source, a capacitor, switching circuitry, and a comparator. The scaling circuitry is configured to generate a reference current scaled to be a predetermined fraction of a peak current flowing in an inductor of the DC-DC converter. The current source is configured to output a first current that is one-half of the reference current. The capacitor is coupled to the current source. The switching circuitry is configured to switchably connect the current source to the capacitor. The comparator is coupled to the capacitor. The comparator is configured to generate a signal indicating that a voltage across the capacitor exceeds a threshold voltage.

Abstract: The disclosure provides an input/output (IO) circuit powered by an input/output (IO) supply voltage. The IO circuit includes a cutoff circuit that receives a first invert signal, the IO supply voltage, a bias voltage and a pad voltage. An output stage is coupled to the cutoff circuit. The output stage receives a first signal, a second signal and the bias voltage. A pad is coupled to the output stage, and a voltage generated at the pad is the pad voltage. The cutoff circuit and the output stage maintain the pad voltage at logic high when the IO supply voltage transition below a defined threshold.
