    摘要: An integrated circuit regulates current flowing from a battery to a load without requiring an external current sense resistor. The IC includes a primary charge pump; a model charge pump; a current sense circuit, a first control circuit to force a voltage level at the output of the model charge pump to be equal to a voltage level at the output of the primary charge pump; and, a second control circuit to force a model current put out by the model charge pump to be equal to a reference current. Current passing through the primary charge pump is regulated at a level established by the capacitance value of an external flying capacitor irrespective of input voltage variation of the battery power source.

    摘要: A power supply for a capacitive load, such as an electroluminescent lamp, converts a low battery voltage to a significantly higher voltage of alternating polarity to drive the load. A desired voltage waveform is applied to the load by accumulating charge in its inherent capacitance from voltage spikes resulting from rapidly disconnecting an inductor from the battery. The maximum voltage applied to the load is maintained below a maximum by a feedback loop that monitors a reduced voltage by use of a voltage divider. The voltage divider is formed of a plurality of capacitors connected in series, the reduced voltage being monitored across one of them. The entire power supply is formed on a single integrated circuit chip, except for the inductor, battery and load.

    摘要: An integrated circuit includes an analog-signal manipulating circuit (ASMC) such as a filter having a transfer function with a frequency response that is determined by at least one RC product. The integrated circuit also includes separately an RC oscillator. The frequency-response-determining RC products of an RC component pair in the filter and an oscillator frequency determining RC component pair in the RC oscillator are digitally programmable by an external microprocessor. The microprocessor holds the frequency of the RC oscillator fixed relative to its own crystal controlled oscillator by adjusting the programmable RC component pair of the RC oscillator. The same adjusting digital signal from the microprocessor is simultaneously applied to the programmable RC component pair(s) of the ASMC, which has the effect of stabilizing all RC component pairs and thus the ASMC frequency response. The capacitors of each RC component pair have binary-control-signal lines mutually parallel connected to each other. The microprocessor senses the frequency of the oscillator and by sending the appropriate binary control signal to the paralleled control lines to adjust the frequency of the RC oscillator to a predetermined value, the RC products of the other component pairs in the filter are adjusted to their respective predetermined values and maintained there during operation of the integrated filter circuit while subject to changes in temperature that would otherwise alter the RC products and therefore the transfer function of the ASMC.

    摘要: A disc drive circuit includes a pair of DC busses across which are directly connected a disc actuator power amplifier and a three phase spindle motor power amplifier which may be comprised of three circuit branches, each branch having two NMOS transistors connected in series with the junction therebetween connected to one of three spindle motor terminals. A transistor switch is connected between a DC supply source and the DC busses for disconnecting the busses from the voltage source only when the supply voltage drops below a nominal operating voltage range. In one embodiment a full wave diode rectifier is also directly connected across the pair of busses and further connected to the three motor terminals, whereby when the switch is open the back e.m.f. of the free spinning spindle motor energizes the actuator amplifier enabling parking of the actuator heads. In another embodiment the drain to channel regions of the six NMOS transistors are adapted to assume the role of a full wave rectifier. In a third embodiment, added circuitry transforms the NMOS transistors into six simulated diodes to serve as a very efficient full wave rectifier only when the switch opens.

    摘要: A temperature-compensated current source energizes a Hall element. The current source includes a voltage divider across the DC voltage supply busses and a differential amplifier arranged as a voltage follower which develops the output voltage across a reference resistor, creating a reference current which is amplified to generate a Hall energizing current. This results in a Hall element gain which is controllable over temperature. The temperature coefficient of the resistor can be chosen to compensate for the sensitivity temperature coefficient of a Hall element powered by a constant current source. Additionally, the temperature coefficient of the resistor may be chosen to compensate for the temperature coefficient of a magnet used to generate the magnetic field which the Hall element is intended to detect. The magnitude of the Hall current, and thus the Hall element gain, is directly proportional to the magnitude of the DC voltage supply. A trimmable current amplifier is used to compensate for the effects of manufacturing tolerances on the magnitude of the Hall current.

    摘要: An integrated circuit chip includes a MOS driver transistor and a relatively small MOS current-monitor transistor having their sources connected to a circuit ground point and their gates connected together to a control-voltage conductor. Current through the monitor transistor flows to a DC voltage supply conductor through a field effect transistor. A differential amplifier has one input connected to the drain of the driver transistor and the other input connected to the drain of the monitor transistor. The output of the differential amplifier is connected to the gate of the field effect transistor to force the drain voltage of the monitor transistor to be equal to the drain voltage of the driver transistor. The current flowing through the small monitor transistor has a constant proportionality with the load current even as the load current approaches zero. With the addition of a differential voltage amplifier having an output connected to the control-voltage conductor, having one input connected to a circuit ground point, and the other input connected to a control-current input pad, the current from the monitor transistor is fedback via a current mirror circuit to the other input of the voltage amplifier, so that the entire circuit can be made to perform as a current amplifier, e.g. driver-load-current/input-control current. By connecting one end of an external precision resistor to the control-current-input pad of the chip and applying a control voltage to the opposite end of the precision resistor, a control current proportional to the control voltage is caused to flow through the control-circuit-input pad. The combination performs as a current amplifier.
