Abstract: A MOSFET has a current conduction path between source and drain terminals. A gate terminal of the MOSFET receives an input signal to facilitate current conduction in the current conduction path as a result of a gate-to-source voltage reaching a threshold voltage. A body terminal of the MOSFET is coupled to body voltage control circuitry that is sensitive to the voltage at the gate terminal of the MOSFET. The body voltage control circuitry responds to a reduction in the voltage at the gate terminal of the MOSFET by increasing the body voltage of the MOSFET at the body terminal of the MOSFET. As a result, there is reduction in the threshold voltage. The circuit configuration is applicable to amplifier circuits, comparator circuits and current mirror circuits.

Abstract: A circuit includes a current controlled oscillator (CCO), and a charge pump circuit boosting a supply voltage to produce a charge pump output voltage at a charge pump output node in response to output from the CCO. A current sensing circuit includes a first resistor coupled between the charge pump output node and an output node, a first transistor having a first conduction terminal coupled to the charge pump output node through a second resistor, and a second conduction terminal coupled to an input of the CCO. A second transistor has a first conduction terminal coupled to the output node, a second conduction terminal coupled to a reference current source, and a control terminal coupled to the control terminal of the first transistor and to the second conduction terminal of the second transistor.

Abstract: An amplifier stage of an LDO regulator circuit includes an amplifier stage that generates a drive signal in response to a first voltage difference an output voltage of the LDO regulator circuit and a reference voltage. A drive stage having a quiescent current consumption is configured to generate a control signal in response to the drive signal. The control signal is applied to the control terminal of a power transistor. A dropout detector senses whether the LDO regulator circuit is operating in closed loop regulation mode or in open loop dropout mode by sensing a second difference in voltage between the drive signal and the control signal. A quiescent current limiter circuit responds to the sensed second difference by controlling the quiescent current consumption of the drive stage, and in particular limiting current consumption when the LDO regulator circuit is operating in the open loop dropout mode.

Abstract: A driving circuit for an electric motor including multiple windings includes a sensing circuit to sense motor winding currents. A motor rotation angle signal is generated from the sensed currents and motor control voltages are generated as a function of the motor rotation angle signal. The motor windings are driven with motor drive voltages obtained by injecting into the motor control voltages injection pulses. The sensed currents include both torque components and injection components. The motor rotation angle signal is generated as a function of the injection components of the sensed currents.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for testing touch screen displays during manufacture. A touch screen controller (TSC) is packaged, and the analog channels of the TSC are characterized, with resulting data being stored for later use. The TSC is programmed, and the touch screen display and TSC are packaged together. The touch screen display is tested using firmware in the TSC, enabling calculation of the inherent capacitances between force and sense lines of the touch screen display when connected to the TSC during operation. The testing involves, for each force and sense line pair, measuring an output signal generated by a receive channel of the TSC coupled to the sense line of that pair. Based upon the data gathered during characterization, and the signals measured during testing, the capacity of the touch screen display is then calculated.

Abstract: The disclosure describes methods and apparatus for quickly prototyping of a solution developed using one or more sensing devices (e.g., sensors), functional blocks, algorithm libraries, and customized logic. The methods produce firmware executable by a processor (e.g., a microcontroller) on an embedded device such as a development board, expansion board, or the like. By performing these methods on the apparatus described, a user is able to create a function prototype without having deep knowledge of the particular sensing device or any particular programing language. Prototypes developed as described herein enable the user to rapidly test ideas and develop sensing device proofs-of-concept. The solutions produced by the methods and apparatus improve the functioning of the sensor being prototyped and the operation of the embedded device where the sensor is integrated.

Abstract: A DC-DC converter circuit including at least: a first step down converter having a first pair of switching devices in a half bridge configuration. A second step down converter includes a second pair of switching devices in a half bridge configuration.
