    摘要: A single-chip common-drain JFET device comprises a drain, two gates and two source arranged such that two common-drain JFETs are formed therewith. Due to the two JFETs merged within a single chip, no wire bonding connection is needed therebetween, thereby without parasitic inductance and resistance caused by bonding wire, and therefore improving the performance and reducing the package cost. The single-chip common-drain JFET device may be applied in buck converter, boost converter, inverting converter, switch, and two-step DC-to-DC converter to improve their performance and efficiency. Alternative single-chip common-drain JFET devices are also provided for current sense or proportional current generation.

    摘要: A plurality of switches, an inductor and two capacitors are configured to be a boost-inverting converter. To operate the converter in a boost-inverting mode, a control apparatus and method switch the switches such that the inductor is energized in a first phase, the first capacitor is discharged to produce an inverting voltage in a second phase, and the capacitor Cout1 is discharged to produce the inverting voltage and the second capacitor is charged to produce a boost voltage in a third phase. Therefore, the boost-inverting converter has lower peak inductor current and less power loss, and the limitation to the switch design for the boost-inverting converter is relaxed.

    摘要: A method, which is for determining switching state of a transistor-based switching device that includes a set of transistors, includes the steps of: applying a bias voltage to a transistor having a fastest response so as to dispose the transistors in the set in a desired transistor state; detecting a voltage level at a transistor having a slowest response to the bias voltage; and comparing the detected voltage level with a predetermined threshold voltage level in order to determine the switching state of the switching device. A transistor-based switching device is also disclosed.

    摘要: In a LED driver using a depletion mode transistor to serve as a current source, the depletion mode transistor is self-biased for providing a driving current to drive at least one LED, thereby requesting no additional control circuit to control the depletion mode transistor. The driving current is independent on the supply voltage coupled to the at least one LED, thereby requesting no additional voltage regulator, reducing the circuit size, and lowering the cost.
