    摘要: A proximity detector device may include a first interconnect layer including a first dielectric layer, and first electrically conductive traces carried thereby, an IC layer above the first interconnect layer and having an image sensor IC, and a light source IC laterally spaced from the image sensor IC. The proximity detector device may include a second interconnect layer above the IC layer and having a second dielectric layer, and second electrically conductive traces carried thereby. The second interconnect layer may have first and second openings therein respectively aligned with the image sensor IC and the light source IC. Each of the image sensor IC and the light source IC may be coupled to the first and second electrically conductive traces. The proximity detector device may include a lens assembly above the second interconnect layer and having first and second lenses respectively aligned with the first and second openings.

    摘要: A Schmitt trigger circuit having an input coupled to a current summing junction. A trickle current source generates a trickle current applied to the current summing junction. A bandgap current source generates a bandgap current applied to the current summing junction (wherein the bandgap current is fixed when a supply voltage exceeds a threshold). A variable current source generates a variable current applied to the current summing junction (wherein the variable current varies dependent on the supply voltage). At the current summing junction, the variable current is offset against the trickle and bandgap currents with respect to generating a voltage that is sensed at the Schmitt trigger circuit input.

    摘要: A current limiting circuit includes a current sensing module that is configured to sense an output current of a power transistor and to generate a corresponding sensing current which is proportional to the output current. A first current limiting module coupled to the current sensing module is configured to generate a first limiting current based on the sensing current when a variation of the output current of the power transistor exceeds a first current level. A second current limiting module coupled to the current sensing module is configured to generate a second limiting current based on the sensing current when a variation of the output current of the power transistor exceeds a second current level. A converting module coupled to the first and second current limiting modules and the power transistor controls a gate voltage of the power transistor based at least on the first and second limiting currents.

    摘要: An electronic device includes a first circuit to generate an output control signal when a first voltage across a first capacitor receiving an input current exceeds a threshold voltage, in response to an input signal having a first logic level. The input current is proportional to a frequency of the input signal. A second circuit is to generate an output reset signal when a second voltage across a second capacitor receiving the input current exceeds the threshold voltage, in response to the input signal having a second logic level. A flip flop is to generate a signal output as having the first logic level in response to the output control signal, and to reset and generate the signal output as having the second logic level in response to the output reset signal.

    摘要: A voltage regulator includes a feedback regulation loop and a drive transistor configured to source current to a regulated output. A transient recovery circuit is coupled to the voltage regulator circuit and includes a first transistor coupled to source current into a control terminal of the drive transistor, wherein the source current is in addition to current sourced in response to operation of the feedback regulation loop. The first transistor is selectively actuated in response to a drop in voltage at the regulated output. The transient recovery circuit further includes a second transistor coupled to sink current from the regulated output. The sink current has a first non-zero magnitude in the quiescent operating mode of the regulator circuit. In response to an increase in voltage at the regulated output, the operation of the second transistor is modified to increase the sink current to a second, greater, non-zero magnitude.

    摘要: A class-D amplifier includes a signal processing block. The signal processing block generates a first processed signal representing a difference between a first differential signal and a second differential signal, when a duty cycle of the first differential signal is greater than that of the second differential signal. The signal processing block generates the first processed signal representing a reference DC level, when the duty cycle of the first differential signal is less than that of the second differential signal. A second processed signal representing a difference between the second differential signal and the first differential signal is generated when the duty cycle of the second differential signal is greater than that of the first differential signal, and the second processed signal representing the reference DC level is generated when the duty cycle of the second differential signal is less than that of the first differential signal.
