    摘要: Apparatus is configured for producing an output signal indicating an operating status of a monitored circuit. An input signal relating to the monitored circuit is received at an input node. A pulse train generator, coupled to the input node, is configured for generating a pulse train of a prescribed repetition rate at a duty cycle alternated between first and second duty cycle values at a prescribed frequency. The duty cycle and frequency are indicative of operating status of the monitored circuit.

    摘要: Circuits and methods for paralleling voltage regulators are provided. Improved current sharing and regulation characteristics are obtained by coupling control terminals of the voltage regulators together which results in precise output voltages and proportional current production. Distributing current generation among multiple paralleled voltage regulators improves heat dissipation and thereby reduces the likelihood that the current produced by the voltage regulators will be temperature limited.

    摘要: Switching regulator circuits and methods are provided in which the output circuit is adaptable to maintain high efficiency over various load current levels. The regulator circuits generate one or more control signals in response to the load current and selectively route a switch driver control signal to one or more switches in the output circuit. The switches differ in their size, such that the most efficient switch can be used at a particular load current level. At low load current levels, the driver control signal is routed to output circuitry with smaller switch devices, which incur smaller driver current losses for a given frequency of operation, thereby increasing the regulator efficiency. At high load current levels, the driver control signal is routed to large switch devices, which incur greater driver current losses for a given frequency of operation, but which have a lower impedance. The regulator thus maintains high efficiency over a wide range of load currents while operating at a constant frequency.

    摘要: A high speed BIFET junction field effect transistor is formed in an epitaxial layer of one conductivity type and includes source and drain regions of opposite conductivity type interconnected by a thin channel region of the opposite conductivity type. A thin surface layer of the one conductivity type is formed over the channel region, and a highly conductive contact is formed on the surface layer intermediate the source and drain regions. The surface contact can comprise highly doped polycrystalline silicon material with a metal layer on the surface thereof. The surface contact and the epitaxial layer underlying the channel region comprise gates for the field effect transistor. Increased speed of operation comes from the increased conductivity of the surface contact.

    摘要: A three terminal control circuit for a low dropout voltage regulator having a PNP pass transistor is provided. The control circuit is capable of pulling the base drive point down to a voltage of 3.0 volts or less to permit a current limiting resistor to be inserted between the base drive point and the base of the PNP pass transistor. The control circuit includes a pair of small-valued capacitors for providing stable operation with different output capacitors. The control circuit can also be used with p-channel FET pass transistors.
