摘要: A driver circuit includes a temperature sensor configured to generate a first voltage representative of current operating temperature of the driver circuit. The driver circuit also includes an amplifier configured to compare the first voltage to a second voltage representative of an upper threshold operating temperature, and to generate a control signal based upon the comparison. A variable current source is configured to generate a load current as a function of the control signal. The amplifier generates the control signal so as to cause the variable current source to generate the load current as having a magnitude equal to an upper threshold, when the first voltage is less than the second voltage.

摘要: A technique for thermal management of a circuit includes generating a power consumption estimate for the circuit based on a predetermined update amount and a comparison of a sensed voltage level to a predetermined voltage level. The method includes generating a fault signal based on the power consumption estimate and a predetermined power consumption limit. Generating the power consumption estimate may include sensing a voltage drop across a first terminal of a device of the circuit and a second terminal of the device to generate the sensed voltage level. The sensed voltage level may be indicative of the voltage drop. The method may include updating the power consumption estimate by the predetermined update amount in response to a clock signal. The power consumption estimate may be used as a proxy for a measurement of a thermal state of the circuit.

摘要: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture for negative output voltage active clamping using a floating bandgap reference and temperature compensation are disclosed. An example load switch includes a floating bandgap reference circuit to generate a bandgap reference voltage. A resistor divider is to generate a resistor divider voltage. A temperature compensator to apply a temperature compensation current to the resistor divider to create a temperature compensated resistor divider voltage. A power transistor is to be enabled when the temperature compensated resistor divider voltage is less than the bandgap reference voltage. The example load switch can work under negative output voltage clamping and get better accuracy drain to source clamped voltage of power transistor for inductive load condition.

摘要: A method for providing a voltage reference at a present operating temperature in a circuit is provided. The circuit comprises a first MOS transistor having a first threshold voltage; and a second MOS transistor having a second threshold voltage different from the first threshold voltage is provided. Temperature insensitivity is obtained by compensating the difference between the first threshold voltage and the second threshold voltage with a parameter representative of the present operating temperature
