摘要:
An enhanced CMOS circuit to drive a DC motor is disclosed, in which a CMOS circuit is used to form a driver circuit of the DC motor, replacing a conventional BiCMOS for the part of the driver circuit, which is used in a portable CD player. Two switching stages are each formed by four CMOS transistors connected in series, with one end of the circuit being connected to a positive power supply with a higher voltage and another end connected to ground or negative power supply terminal. The switching stages are able to produce high output voltages, which are applied on the gates of the CMOS transistors in the driver stage to lower the driving impedance of the conduction channel and to produce sufficient output current to drive a DC motor.

A detecting circuit (REFH, CM11, LA1, TN1, RN1) which detects an overcurrent flowing through a power-MOS transistor (401) in an output stage to output a first signal (ITN1) is disposed in a first driving circuit (303H) on the side of a high-side driver. Another detecting circuit (REFL, CM21, LA2, TN2, RN2) which detects an overcurrent flowing through a power-MOS transistor (402) in the output stage to output a second signal (ITN2) is disposed in a driving circuit (303L) on the side of a low-side driver. The first signal (ITN1) is converted to a third signal (ITT2) based on a negative power supply (VPP−), by a signal converting circuit. The third signal is added to the second signal. In response to the addition signal, a pulse signal to be input to the driving circuits (303H and 303L) is blocked.
摘要:
A method and system is disclosed by which identification codes for a plurality of systems are utilized to provide a control with an indication of a particular characteristic of the particular system. The characteristic is assigned with an identifying variable, in a disclosed embodiment voltage, which increases. As this variable increases, possible errors due to system features will also increase. Thus, the possibility of the control misreading an identification code due to the error increases. To address this increasing possibility, the distance between adjacent variables also increases as the variables themselves increase. In a preferred embodiment the distance is increased proportionally.

摘要:
In combination with a transistor designed to drive an inductive load, there is included a network connected between the output electrode (e.g., drain) and the control electrode (e.g., gate) of the transistor for limiting the overshoot and controlling the waveshape of the signal produced at the output electrode of the transistor, when the transistor is being turned-off. The network includes a series string of zener diodes with one or more by-pass capacitors connected across the zener diodes closest to the control electrode of the transistor for shaping the output signal produced at the output electrode of the transistor and for reducing electromagnetic radiation. The network also includes unidirectional conducting elements for discharging each bypass capacitor each time the transistor is turned-on. The zener diodes and the "discharging" unidirectional conducting elements of the network may be formed as integral parts of the same integrated circuit (IC).

A switched bridge circuit includes a low voltage to high voltage interface which selectively controls an input to a high side switch. A controller compares the voltage across the interface, the state of the high side switch, and the output of the circuit. If hard switching is detected by the controller, it latches the voltage across the interface thus keeping the high side switch on to allow the hard switching to occur. If soft switching is detected, the high side switch is kept off. A source follower is used to drive the high side switch so that the circuit output follows the interface output thereby avoiding oscillation. A falling edge detector for the output of the circuit uses the inherent parasitic capacitance of a high voltage device which also forms a bootstrap diode. When the output drops, the parasitic capacitance feeds a resistance which causes a driver to actuate. A second falling edge detector uses the inherent parasitic capacitance of the level shifter switch which is another high voltage device. When the output drops, the parasitic capacitance turns on a switch. A rising edge detector also uses the inherent capacitance of the low voltage to high voltage interface. A switch is coupled to the circuit output and the low voltage to high voltage interface. When the circuit output rises, the switch actuates.
摘要:
A gate drive circuit device for a voltage-driven semiconductor element reduces the time to dissipate inductively stored electromagnetic energy and reduces current consumption by using cyclically charged capacitative storage to produce a control signal that is about twice the supply voltage. This permits full-ON dissipation of the stored energy after the circuit cuts off power to the inductive element. In one embodiment, the dissipation is chiefly in a voltage-regulator diode connected to limit the voltage appearing across a transistor. In another embodiment, a voltage regulator diode permits a transistor to operate in the full-on condition, while limiting the voltage across it to a value below its withstand voltage, whereby a maximum power dissipation current flows in the transistor. In a further embodiment a gate drive signal generator eliminates a voltage regulator diode from the conventional gate drive circuit device. Instead, this embodiment substitutes switching devices both on the power supply side and the reference potential (ground) side. Both switching devices include a switch and an operating section that controls switching operation. The two operating sections receive an externally generated command signal for timing the ON/OFF operation of the switches. The control technique permits both the switching and operating sections to be fabricated integrally as an integrated circuit.
摘要:
An N-channel power MOSFET is fabricated with its source and body connected together and biased at a positive voltage with respect to its drain. The gate is controlled by a switch which alternately connects the gate to the source or to a voltage which turns the channel of the MOSFET fully on. When the gate is connected to the source, the device functions as a "pseudo-Schottky" diode which turns on at a lower voltage and provides a lower-resistance path than a conventional PN diode. When the gate is connected to the positive voltage the channel of the MOSFET is turned fully on. This MOSFET switch is particularly suitable for use as a synchronous rectifier in a power converter where it reduces the power loss and stored charge in the "break before make" interval (i.e., the interval between the turn-off of the shunt switch and the turn-on of the synchronous rectifier).
