    摘要: A charge pump power supply may comprise a plurality of capacitors and a switching circuit for switching the capacitors to provide a first voltage or a second voltage in accordance with the select input. The charge pump power supply may have a signal polarity input for indicating a polarity of an output audio signal. Switches for switching one or more capacitors providing a first polarity voltage in a then-current operating mode may be configured to switch at a greater frequency than switches for switching one or more capacitors providing a second polarity voltage responsive to the signal polarity input indicating a positive polarity of the output audio signal. Switches for switching one or more capacitors providing the first polarity voltage in a then-current operating mode are configured to switch at a lesser frequency than switches for switching one or more capacitors providing the second polarity voltage responsive to the signal polarity input indicating a negative polarity of the output audio signal.

    摘要: A power converter uses a charge pump divider that includes a capacitive divider core and a phase clock generator. The capacitive divider core has an input for receiving an input voltage and an output for providing an output voltage. In a first phase the capacitive divider core is adapted to couple a flying capacitor in series with an output capacitor. In a second phase the capacitive divider core is adapted to couple the flying capacitor in parallel with the output capacitor. The phase clock generator activates a first phase clock indicating the first phase when a flying voltage across the flying capacitor is less than a predetermined portion of the input voltage minus a peak voltage, and subsequently activates a second phase clock indicating the second phase when the flying voltage exceeds the predetermined portion of the input voltage plus the peak voltage.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for capacitive voltage division are provided, an example apparatus having an input and an output and including a first switched capacitor circuit. In some embodiments, the capacitive voltage divider includes first and second MOSFETs. A first capacitor is coupled between the drain of the first MOSFET and the input to the capacitive voltage divider. A first circuit coupled to the drain of the first MOSFET is configured to pull down the drain of the first MOSFET and thus apply a reverse bias to a first junction diode internal to the first MOSFET between the drain and the bulk of the first MOSFET. A second capacitor is coupled between the source of the first MOSFET and the drain of the second MOSFET. A second circuit is configured to reverse bias a second junction diode between the drain and bulk of the second MOSFET.

    摘要: A linear voltage regulator which includes on its input side an array of switched super capacitors coupled between the power source and the load. This apparatus is capable of delivering currents typically from milliamperes to greater than several amperes at very low switching frequencies. In addition by using capacitors rather than resistors or transistor devices to drop voltage on the input side, power consumption is reduced. The array of capacitors is switched by simple analog circuitry or a switching logic with or without a processor subsystem and the capacitors themselves are of the super capacitor type, thus providing very high capacitance, and are effectively series connected during certain phases of operation with the input terminal of the conventional linear voltage regulator portion of the apparatus. Energy stored in the super capacitors during the various phases of operation is reused.
