Abstract: A DC/DC converter includes a switch mode converter for providing an output voltage based on an input voltage and a drive signal generator configured to provide a drive signal for the switch mode converter. The drive signal generator is configured to switch between a non-pulse-skipping mode and a pulse-skipping mode. Moreover, the drive signal generator is configured to adapt a setting of a pulse generation such that a length of a first pulse following a pulse skipping is larger than a minimum length of a pulse in the non-pulse-skipping mode.

Abstract: Representative implementations of devices and techniques provide bipolar time-to-digital conversion. For example, either a positive time duration or a negative time duration may be converted to a digital representation by a linear time-to-digital converter (TDC). A set of logic functions may be applied to the input of the TDC to provide start and/or stop signals for the TDC. Further, a correction component may be applied to an input or an output of the TDC to compensate for a delay offset of the TDC.

Abstract: A current mode converter includes a converter stage comprising a first switch, a second switch, an inductor, and a capacitor, and a digital-to-analog converter configured to convert a digital target current signal to an analog current signal. The current mode converter further includes a slope compensation circuit coupled to the digital-to-analog converter and is configured to convert the analog target current signal to a slope compensated analog target signal. A comparator is coupled to the converter stage and the slope compensation stage and is configured to generate and output a signal when a value of an actual analog signal is equal to a value of the slope compensated analog target signal.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods related to time-to-digital converters (TDCs) are herein described. Generally, a time-to-digital converter is a device which measures a time period or time interval and outputs a digital value representing the measured time period. In an implementation, an apparatus is provided comprising a time-to-digital converter circuit, which further comprises a built-in self test (BIST). The built-in self test may be implemented using one or more oscillators coupled to the time-to-digital converter via one or more multiplexer devices.

Abstract: A pressure connection concept for pressure sensor modules is provided, using which the influence of assembly-related stresses in the sensor system on the sensor diaphragm and accordingly on the measuring signal detection is kept very low. The sensor system includes a sensor module for pressure detection and a connecting piece and at least one seal for coupling the sensor module to a measuring system. The sensor module includes at least one sensor element having a diaphragm and means for signal detection. Together with the means for signal detection, the sensor element is provided with packaging having a pressure connection opening and electrical contacts. A pressure channel is provided in the connecting piece, the pressure channel being coupled to the pressure connection opening of the sensor module using the seal. The packaging of the sensor module includes a tube-shaped projection which forms the pressure connection opening, and the pressure channel of the connecting piece terminates in a connecting tube. The tube-shaped projection of the sensor module and the connecting tube of the connecting piece fit into each other, and the seal designed as a radial seal is situated between the walls of the tube-shaped projection and the connecting tube.
