    摘要: An electronic fuse that includes a clamp circuit to enhance the protection provided by the electronic fuse. The clamp circuit can detect a short circuit condition quickly and transmit a trigger signal to a controller so that a power transistor of the electronic fuse can be turned-OFF before the current through the power transistor causes overheating or damage. The clamp circuit is a dedicated circuit for short-circuit detection that can work with other current control circuits of the electronic fuse. The clamp circuit does not increase the power consumed by the electronic fuse while not in the short circuit condition. The clamp circuit is small and fast because it can use low-voltage devices, even as high voltages are present at the input and output of the electronic fuse.

    摘要: A package includes a power electronics module disposed between a first bracket and a second bracket with the power electronics module covering openings in the first bracket and the second bracket. Leak-proof joints are formed between surfaces of the power electronics module and the first bracket and the second bracket. A first cover beam is disposed on, and joined to, the first bracket to enclose a first cooling fluid channel for cooling fluid flow over the power electronics module. A second cover beam is disposed on, and joined to, the second bracket to enclose a second cooling fluid channel for cooling fluid flow over the power electronics module. The package includes end connectors that have input and output ports for cooling fluid flow through the first cooling fluid channel and the second cooling fluid channel.

    摘要: Accordingly, there is disclosed herein host device and bus communication method that enables fast sensor device reinitialization that minimizes outage time associated with an unexpected device reset. One illustrative bus communication method includes: providing each of one or more slave devices with a dynamically-determined bus address; querying each of the dynamically-determined bus addresses to obtain a unique device identifier associated with that dynamically-determined bus address; receiving a sequence of data frames each having time-division multiplexed data from the one or more slave devices; and between data frames in the sequence, checking to determine whether any of the one or more slave devices has been reset.

    摘要: Implementations of semiconductor packages may include: a semiconductor die having a first side and a second side and an active area on the second side of the die. The semiconductor packages may also include two or more bumps coupled to two or more die pads on a second side of the die. The semiconductor packages may include an optically transmissive lid coupled to the semiconductor die through an adhesive, two or more bumps, and a first redistribution layer (RDL). The semiconductor package may include a second redistribution layer (RDL) coupled with the first RDL on the second side of the semiconductor die. The second RDL may extend to the first side of the semiconductor die. The first RDL may extend to an edge of the semiconductor die.

    摘要: A multiphase power stage that includes addressing and communication techniques to read temperatures of the phases for thermal load balancing is disclosed. The disclosure describes driver modules that can be assigned addresses for serial communication on a common communication bus by temporarily communicating the addresses over dedicated pulse width modulation connections between the driver modules and the controller. After assignment, a temperature request message, addressed to a driver module, can trigger the driver module to transmit an analog temperature signal to a common temperature bus coupled between the driver modules and the controller. The temperatures of the driver modules may be collected in order to activate and deactivate driver modules based on their temperatures, which can balance a thermal load on the multiphase power stage.

    摘要: According to an aspect, an image sensor package includes a substrate, an image sensor die coupled to the substrate, a light transmitting member, and a plurality of pillar members disposed between and contacting the image sensor die and the light transmitting member. A height of the plurality of pillar members defines a gap height between an active region of the image sensor die and the light transmitting member. The image sensor package including a bonding material that couples the light transmitting member to the image sensor. The bonding material contacts a side of a pillar member, of the plurality of pillar members, that extends between a first end contacting the light transmitting member and a second end contacting the image sensor die.
