摘要: Coupled inductor signal transfer systems are disclosed in which transmitter and receiver coils are inductively coupled in a configuration for wirelessly transferring power and/or data signals. In preferred implementations, the systems may be used for transmitting both power and data. Preferred embodiments of the invention have at least one multi-tap coil on the primary side and/or secondary side of the system. The selection of taps enables the effective size and/or number of coils to be dynamically changed according to operational needs.

摘要: The invention provides circuits, systems, and methods for monitoring a non-volatile memory (NVM) cell, or an array of NVM cells. The monitor is capable of switching from a normal operating state to an evaluation state, monitoring for one or more particular characteristics, and returning to the normal operating state. Alternative embodiments of the invention are disclosed using various triggers and producing outputs capable of reporting or feeding back to influence the operation of the monitoring systems and methods, the NVM circuitry, or an external system. The invention includes an energy conservation feature, in that no power is consumed in the normal operating state, and low power in the evaluation state.

摘要: The present invention relates to a reverse bias protection structure which comprises a PMOS transistor structure having a drain portion, a gate portion, a source portion and a backgate portion, wherein the gate portion is coupled to a first voltage potential, the source portion is selectively coupleable to a power supply, and the drain portion is selectively coupleable to a circuit needing power to be supplied thereto from the power supply. The reverse bias protection structure further comprises a Schottky diode structure having an anode coupled to the source portion of the PMOS transistor structure, and a cathode coupled to the backgate portion of the PMOS structure. Under forward bias conditions, the PMOS transistor conducts and exhibits a small voltage drop thereacross. Under reverse bias conditions, the PMOS transistor is off and the Schottky structure is reverse biased, thus preventing current through the protection structure.
