Abstract:
A voltage regulator circuit with high accuracy and Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR) is provided. In one embodiment, an op-amp with a voltage reference input to an inverting input has the first output connected to a PMOS transistor's gate. The PMOS transistor's source and drain are each connected to the power supply and the voltage regulator output. The voltage regulator output is connected to an NMOS transistor biased in saturation mode and a series of two resistors. The non-inverting input of the op-amp is connected in between the two resistors for the first feedback loop. The op-amp's second output is connected to the gate of the NMOS transistor through an AC-coupling capacitor for the second feedback loop. The op-amp's first output can be connected to the power supply voltage through a capacitor to further improve high frequency PSRR. In another embodiment, the role of PMOS and NMOS transistors is reversed.
Abstract:
A method of operating a voltage regulator circuit includes generating a control signal by an amplifier of the voltage regulator circuit. The control signal is generated based on a reference signal at an inverting input of the amplifier and a feedback signal at a non-inverting input of the amplifier. A driving current flowing toward an output node of the voltage regulator circuit is generated by a driver responsive to the control signal, and the driver is coupled between a first power node and the output node. The feedback signal is generated responsive to a voltage level at the output node. A transistor, coupled between the output node and a second power node, is caused to operate in saturation mode during a period while the voltage regulator circuit is operating.
Abstract:
A voltage regulator circuit comprises an amplifier having an inverting input and a non-inverting input. The amplifier is configured to generate a control signal based on a reference signal at the inverting input of the amplifier and a feedback signal at the non-inverting input of the amplifier. The voltage regulator circuit also comprises an output node, a first power node, a second power node, and a driver that generates a driving current flowing toward the output node in response to the control signal. The driver is coupled between the first power node and the output node. A first transistor having a gate is coupled between the output node and the second power node. A bias circuit outside the amplifier supplies a bias signal to the gate of the first transistor, which is configured to operate in a saturation mode based on the bias signal supplied by the bias circuit.

In the present invention, a plasma generating device is provided for generating a plasma with a uniform intensity. The plasma generating device comprises at least a first antenna to transmit the first electromagnetic wave, at least a second antenna to transmit the second electromagnetic wave, and an insulator defining an isolated space for containing therein the first antenna and the second antenna, wherein the first antenna has an opposite orientation with respect to the second antenna, so that the first electromagnetic wave and the second electromagnetic wave are transmitted in opposite directions. The first and the second electromagnetic waves can be coupled with each other to produce a uniform standing wave pattern. Consequently, a large size uniform plasma can be generated.

Process for preparing 2-(4-thiazolyl)-1H-benzimidazole (generic name: thiabendazole) by the acid-catalyzed condensation of o-phenyldiamine and 4-cyanothiazole in solution in water or mixtures of water with miscible co-solvents (solvents which upon mixing with water in all proportions form a homogeneous mixture, as well as, other partially miscible solvents which upon mixing with water in some proportions form a homogeneous mixture under the reaction conditions of the process of this invention).
Abstract:
A process of separating amines having different basicity constants is disclosed. The more reactive amine is converted to a salt which is extracted with water in a multiple stage countercurrent extractor. The salt form of the amine is converted to the free amine. In a preferred aspect of the invention the amine salt is an amine sulfite which can be converted to free amine and sulfur dioxide. The sulfur dioxide can be reused to generate more amine sulfite. The more reactive amine is then separated from the water and part of it recovered. The remainder of the more reactive amine is recycled to the countercurrent extractor. The less reactive amine is removed from the countercurrent extractor in the free amine state as an organic phase along with any organic solvent that is used. Part of the less reactive amine is recovered from the system while the remainder is converted to a salt and an aqueous solution thereof recycled to the countercurrent extractor.
Abstract:
An acid extraction process for separating 3,4-dichloroaniline from 2,3-dichloroaniline and 2,5-dichloroaniline is disclosed. The process involves selectively forming 3,4-dichloroaniline hydrochloride, since it has a higher basicity than the other dichloroaniline isomers, in a multiple stage extraction unit. An aqueous solution of 3,4-dichloroaniline hydrochloride is removed from the multiple stage extraction unit and neutralized with a base to form an immiscible mixture of an aqueous salt solution and 3,4-dichloroaniline which are separated by decantation.
