摘要： Two transistors of a class D output stage are driven by complementary, variable duty cycle signals PWM+ and PWM−. When the pulse width of the PWM+ signal becomes too narrow for reliable operation of prior art over-current protection circuits sensing the drain to source voltage of FET1 driven by PWM+, a Narrow Pulse Detector generates a signal indicative of this narrow pulse condition. A Negative Current Sense circuit measures the drain to source voltage across FET2 during the much longer conduction time of FET2 driven by PWM−. Because of the energy stored in the series inductor coupled to the output of the class D stage, a negative current flows through this FET2 during its conduction time. The resulting drain to source voltage of FET2 is measured and compared to a threshold. If the voltage indicative of current is over the threshold, and the Narrow Pulse Detector output indicates a narrow pulse condition, then an inhibit signal is generated which reduces current. A second Negative Current Sense circuit is utilized to similarly detect over-current conditions when the pulse width of PWM− becomes too narrow for reliable operation of prior art over-current protection circuits, thus protecting both FETs in the class D output stage from excessive current.

摘要： A power supply system and method for operating same. The power supply system is connectable to receive power from an adapter and supply power to a load. The power supply system includes a rechargeable battery, a buck mode circuit, and a boost mode circuit. A switching circuit switches between the buck mode circuit and boost mode circuit for supplying power to the load. If the power required by the load reaches a first predetermined level related to an adapter overload condition for a first predetermined time, the switching circuit disconnects said buck mode circuit from the load and connects the rechargeable battery and the boost mode circuit to said load. The first predetermined level may be established by a first predetermined percent of the current of a dynamic power management level established by the load, which is related to a power level below that which can be provided by the adapter.

摘要： A high resolution pulse width modulation (PWM) or voltage controlled output (DCO) generator is disclosed. The resolution is increased over that of the circuit clock by delaying the generated signal through a series of delays, all of which are controlled by a delay locked loop. The delays are a small fraction of the clock period, thus providing resolution greater than that of the circuit clock.
