摘要:
An isolated flyback converter having temperature compensation (TC) uses primary side sensing and an output diode, the output diode having a variable voltage drop related to its temperature. A feedback voltage VFB, proportional to the output voltage VOUT, in a feedback loop is compared to a fixed reference voltage VREF for setting a duty cycle of a power switch, wherein VFB is caused to approximately equal VREF. A TC circuit has a voltage source configured to generate a proportional-to-absolute-temperature voltage VPTAT, wherein VPTAT is at approximately VREF at a calibration temperature T0 and rises as a temperature exceeds T0. The voltage source is connected to the VFB node via a TC resistor RTC, so that at T0 no current flows through RTC. Therefore, the selection of the optimal RTC does not affect the selection of a scaling resistance for generating VFB. The current through RTC at elevated temperatures compensates VOUT.

Method and system for measuring the resistance of a resistive structure having at least three nodes. A first calibration signal is determined by measuring a voltage at an output of the resistance structure when no calibration current is injected into a third node between the first and second nodes of the structure. A calibration current is then injected into the third node and a second calibration signal is determined. The absolute value of the difference between the first calibration signal and the second calibration signal is determined, the absolute value being proportional to a product of the resistance of the resistive structure and the calibration current.

A method and interface for serial communication is provided. The interface includes a differential input/output having a first node and a second node. There are several input/output nodes arranged to receive serial interface signals. The interface includes a transmitter configured to drive a twisted pair cable at the differential input/output. There is a receiver coupled to the differential input/output that includes a window comparator. A serial port control unit provides serial data to the transmitter and receives serial data from the receiver. The serial communications interface transmits serial data to and receives serial data from a second serial communications interface independent of a reference clock and is galvanically isolated from the second serial communications interface.

A linear regulator integrated circuit may be formed having four external terminals including a voltage input (Vin) terminal, a voltage output (Vout) terminal, a Set terminal, and an operational amplifier (op amp) power terminal. A user connects an external resistor to the Set terminal for creating a reference voltage. An op amp controls a pass (or series transistor) to cause an output voltage at the Vout terminal to equal the reference voltage. The op amp has a first power supply terminal internally coupled to the Vin terminal and a second power supply terminal coupled to the op amp power terminal. The op amp power terminal allows a user to externally couple the op amp second power supply terminal to either the Vout pin (for high voltage applications), system ground (for medium voltage applications), or another voltage (to provide additional headroom in very low voltage applications).

A method of improving the slew rate of an amplifier is described where a differential pair of transistors receives a differential first control signal and second control signal. The tail current for the transistors is provided by a tail current regulator. The same control signals are applied to a slew boost controller, whose output increases as the differential between the control signals increase. The tail current regulator generates a bias signal that sets a minimum tail current. The tail current is controlled to be the minimum tail current until the slew boost output signal exceeds a threshold, whereupon the tail current increases in response to an increasing differential between the control signals. Common mode rejection is not adversely affected by the slew boost controller generating a slightly varying current under common mode conditions due to the minimum tail current.

Methods and systems for a differential correlated double sampling (CDS) switched capacitor integrator circuit. The circuit includes a differential amplifier that has a differential input and a differential output. There is a first feedback path between the negative output node and the positive input node, and a second feedback path between the positive output node and the negative input node. Each feedback path includes an integration capacitor and at least one switch that has a parasitic capacitance. A first capacitive element is coupled between the negative input node and the negative output node, and a second capacitive element is coupled between the positive input node and the positive output node. Each capacitive element is configured to cancel the parasitic capacitance of its corresponding feedback path.

In a current mode controlled switching power supply, current through the inductor is sensed to determine when to turn off or on the switching transistors. The inductor current has a higher frequency AC component and a lower frequency DC component. The AC current feedback path, sensing the ramping ripple current, is separate from the DC current path, sensing the lower frequency average current. Separating the current sensing paths allows the signal to noise ratio of the AC sense signal to be increased and allows the switching noise to be filtered from the DC sense signal. The gain of the DC sense signal is adjusted so that the DC sense signal has the proper proportion to the AC sense signal. The AC sense signal and the DC sense signal are combined by a summing circuit. The composite sense signal is applied to a PWM comparator to control the duty cycle of the switch.

An RMS-DC converter includes a chopper-stabilized square cell that eliminates offset, thus enabling high-bandwidth operation. The chopper-stabilized offset requires only a small portion of the circuitry (i.e., a single component square cell) which operates at high frequencies, and is amenable to using high-bandwidth component square cells. Using the chopping technique minimizes required device sizes without compromising an acceptable square cell dynamic range, thereby maximizing the square cell bandwidth. The RMS-DC converter consumes less power than conventional RMS-to-DC converters that requires a high-frequency variable gain amplifier.

A monolithic voltage reference circuit may include a voltage-mode band-gap reference circuit, a temperature independent differential current source, and a temperature dependent differential current source. The voltage-mode band-gap reference circuit may include an error amplifier having differential input nodes. The temperature independent differential current source may be configured to add in or subtract from the differential input nodes a substantially temperature independent differential current with an allocation between the nodes that is controlled by a selectable output voltage trim setting. The temperature dependent differential current source may be configured to add in or subtract from the differential input nodes a substantially temperature dependent differential current with an allocation between the nodes that is controlled by a selectable temperature drift trim setting.
