Abstract: A method for enforcing design rules in a circuit layout may include providing a circuit schematic for an integrated circuit to a circuit simulator, wherein the circuit layout is derived from a circuit schematic, using the circuit simulator to simulate the circuit schematic and generate simulated electrical parameters for the integrated circuit, and using the simulated electrical parameters to enforce physical design rules when generating the circuit layout based on the simulated electrical parameters.

Abstract: A method for calculating a calibration gain used for common-mode rejection in a current sensing system may include measuring a first value of a common-mode voltage associated with the current sensing system and a first output value of the current sensing system occurring at the first value of the common-mode voltage, measuring a second value of the common-mode voltage associated with the current sensing system and a second output value of the current sensing system occurring at the second value of the common-mode voltage, and based on a difference between the second output value of the current sensing system and the first output value of the current sensing system and a difference between the second value of the common-mode voltage and the first value of the common-mode voltage, calculating the calibration gain.

Abstract: A distributed network system may include a shared communication bus that operates in accordance with a communication protocol and a plurality of devices coupled to the shared communication bus. The communication protocol may define periods of time and an order by which each of the plurality of devices actively transmit data on the shared communication bus such that only one of the plurality of devices actively transmits data on the shared communication bus at a time to a remaining number of the plurality of devices through the shared communication bus. When the remaining number of the plurality of devices are not actively transmitting data, the remaining number of the plurality of devices may receive data via the shared communication bus so that bi-directional communication is established among the plurality of devices on the shared communication bus.

Abstract: A method for operating a charge pump having a variable switching frequency may include comparing a target minimum output voltage with an output voltage generated at an output of the charge pump and controlling switching of switches of the charge pump based on the comparison such that the variable switching frequency varies as an output current driven by the charge pump varies.

Abstract: A system may include a charge pump configured to operate in a plurality of modes including a first mode in which the ratio of an output voltage to an input voltage of the charge pump is a first ratio and a second mode in which the ratio is a second ratio and a controller configured to limit current flowing between a power source of the charge pump to the charge pump, wherein the power source provides the input voltage, by limiting a transfer of charge between the power source and the charge pump during a switching cycle of the charge pump responsive to a change in operation between modes of the plurality of modes.

Abstract: In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a system may have a configurable control loop technology, wherein the system comprises a first mode control loop, a second mode control loop and a reconfigurable pulse width modulator (PWM) configured to generate an output signal from an input signal. The reconfigurable PWM may include a digital PWM and an analog PWM and may be configured such that when the first mode control loop is activated, the reconfigurable PWM utilizes the analog PWM to generate the output signal from the input signal and when the second mode control loop is activated, the reconfigurable PWM utilizes the digital PWM to generate the output signal from the input signal and the digital PWM receives its input from a digital proportional integral derivative controller.

Abstract: A power converter system may include a first power converter configured to couple via its input to a power source and configured to convert an input voltage provided by the power source to an intermediate voltage, a second power converter coupled via its input to an output of the first power converter and configured to convert the intermediate voltage to a regulated output voltage, a capacitor coupled at one of its terminals to an electrical node of the intermediate voltage. Based on one or more electrical parameters of the power converter, the second power converter is controlled to regulate the regulated output voltage at a substantially constant level and the first power converter is controlled to control the intermediate voltage to maintain the intermediate voltage between a maximum voltage and a minimum voltage and regulate an input current drawn from the power source at a substantially constant level.
