摘要： A bi-directional switch for a power converter comprises first and second transistors (SW1, SW2) and a floating supply capacitor (C2) associated with the second transistor (SW2). The drive circuit and/or gate of the first transistor (SW1) is charged by the floating supply capacitor (C2) of the second transistor (SW2). The charging takes place at a predetermined moment in the switching cycle, and in particular at a moment in the switching cycle when the voltage across the bi-directional switch is substantially a minimum.

摘要： An integrated circuit which includes a converter for converting a logic input signal of a first logic type into a logic output signal of a second logic type, for example, from ECL to CMOS level. The converter comprises a buffer, including a controllable load and a driver transistor, and a control circuit. The load is controlled as a function of a control voltage and a reference voltage which are externally applied so that the output signal is substantially equal to the reference voltage if the input signal is substantially equal to the control voltage. In one embodiment the control circuit is a copy of the buffer and receives the control voltage at its input. Its load is controlled by a differential amplifier whose inputs receive the reference voltage and the output voltage of the control circuit. A CMOS-SRAM comprising ECL/CMOS level converters of the above kind communicates with fast ECL circuits and has a low energy consumption.

摘要： A transistor circuit comprising a first differential amplifier which is composed of a differential pair and a current mirror. The transistor circuit further comprises a second differential amplifier which measures a differential offset voltage in the first differential amplifier and reduces this offset voltage by means of common mode current feedback. The transistor circuit thus provides a stable amplifier having a high speed and a low offset voltage which can be used advantageously in a logic output buffer so that, for example, an ECL output buffer can be realized in CMOS.

摘要： A dc-to-dc converter has two field effect transistors (35, 36) connected in series between an input terminal (37) and a ground terminal (38). Adjustment of the dead time when both transistors (35, 36) are off is carried out by providing Kelvin feedback connections (71, 72, 67, 68) directly across the drain (39, 44) and source (43, 40) of one or both of the transistors (35, 36), so bypassing signal line resistance and inductances.

摘要： The invention relates to a switched mode power converter and a method of operating such a converter A switched mode power converter according to the invention includes a transformer (2) having a primary winding (2a) and at least one secondary winding (2b) and a secondary side rectifier circuit including an output filter (6, 10) coupled to the at least one secondary winding (2b), and a secondary side active switch device (S3) coupled between the at least one secondary winding and the output filter. The converter further includes primary side and secondary side control means (12, 16, 18) for regulating the switching of the primary side and secondary side switches, respectively, and configured so as to reduce the duty cycle of the primary side switch device (S1) during a lower power mode of operation of the converter, the reduction of the duty cycle of the primary side switch being determined with reference to the duty cycle of the secondary side switch (S3). This leads to a substantial increase in the efficiency of operation in the low power mode.

摘要： A semiconductor switch comprises two NMOS transistors coupled in an anti-series arrangement, and a gate control circuit coupled to both gates of the NMOS transistors. Both drains of the NMOS transistors are interconnected, and the gate control circuit is coupled to the drains interconnection. The required chip area is halved compared to prior art switches. Pumping the gates to higher voltages may cause a further reduction of the sizes of the NMOS transistors. In addition advantageously a large range of input and output voltages can be allowed between the sources of the NMOS transistors, whereby the sources act as input and output respectively of the switch, thus allowing application of the switch in a broad technical field.

摘要： The invention relates to an additional transistor which is connected in cascode with a sub-circuit of a logic circuit in order to protect further transistors of the sub-circuit against hot carrier stress and hot carrier degradation. In a logic circuit having transistors of a first conductivity type, an additional transistor of the second conductivity type is arranged in cascode. This additional transistor is connected as a diode or as a current source in dependence on an output voltage of the circuit. Further aspects of the invention concern the switching means for switching the additional transistor and the location where the additional transistor is to be inserted.
