    摘要: A power-supply control apparatus includes a controller that is configured to perform duty control on a switch device which forms an output stage of a switched-mode power supply which is configured to generate an output voltage from an input voltage. The controller has an OFF-skip function to skip cyclic OFF transitions of the switch device. The controller keeps the switch device turned ON by ignoring a reset signal based on feedback control on the output voltage under a state in which the OFF-skip function is implemented.

    摘要: A semiconductor device includes a planar gate structure including a gate insulating film and a gate electrode, and a sidewall structure disposed adjacent to a lateral side of the planar gate structure. The sidewall structure includes a first insulating film and a second insulating film, and a charge storage film disposed between the first insulating film and the second insulating film. The first insulating film is adjacent to the planar gate structure. A ratio between a gate length L of the planar gate structure and a width WS of the sidewall structure is less than or equal to 300/75. Thereby, a semiconductor device having an improved data read and write reliability in a memory structure can be provided.

    摘要: A successive approximation register A/D converter (SARADC) has redundancy. An analog unit samples an analog input voltage and generates a comparison signal indicating a magnitude relationship between a threshold voltage corresponding to a control code and the analog input voltage. A logic unit generates, in an i-th (i≥1) cycle, a first value obtained by adding a weight of an (i+1)-th cycle to a control code of the i-th cycle and a second value obtained by subtracting the weight of the (i+1)-th cycle from the control code of the i-th cycle. When a comparison signal of the cycle is determined, the logic unit supplies one of the first value and the second value corresponding to the comparison signal to the analog unit 110 as a control code of the (i+1)-th cycle.
