    摘要: A portable device includes a voltage regulator for generating a regulated voltage that is supplied to a processor and to a load by way of a line protection switch, which controls a load current supplied to the load, e.g., in response to a signal supplied by the processor. The line protection switch includes a gate control circuit with a comparator that detects a short circuit in the load by comparing the regulated voltage against a reference voltage. When a short circuit causes the regulated voltage to drop below a predetermined minimum voltage (e.g., 4.5V), the comparator de-asserts the control signal, thereby turning off the switch before the regulated output voltage falls below a minimum operating voltage (e.g., 4.35V) of the processor.

    摘要: A LED driver circuit avoids undesirable light generated by a LED due to leakage current by shunting the output terminal to the feedback terminal during periods when it is desired that the LED remain turned off. The shunting operation is achieved by providing a switch (e.g., a FET) that is connected between the output and feedback terminals of the LED, and is controlled by the user supplied reference signal. During active operation (i.e., when the user supplied reference signal is “enabled” and the LED is lit), the switch remains open, allowing the driver circuit to generate the desired driving voltage across the LED. During inactive periods (i.e., when the user supplied reference signal is “disabled” and the LED is intended to be off), the switch is closed, which couples the output and feedback terminals to generate an essentially zero voltage drop across the LED.

    摘要: A method for operating a current limit power switch for supplying power to a load include activating the power switch to start supplying power to the load; limiting the current drawn by the power switch to a first current limit for a first, fixed duration; after the first, fixed duration, limiting the current drawn by the power switch to a second current limit for a second duration where the second current limit is less than the first current limit; and after the second duration, limiting the current drawn by the power switch to a third current limit where the third current limit is less than the second current limit.
