Abstract: A method for current measurement in a switching converter is described herein. In accordance with one embodiment, the method includes switching a first transistor on and off in accordance with a logic signal, wherein a load current passes through the first transistor while it is switched on. The method further includes providing—by a second transistor—a sense current that is indicative of the load current, wherein the second transistor is coupled to the first transistor so that the first and the second transistors are switched on and off simultaneously. Further, the method includes determining an end of a switch-on phase of the second transistor, and providing a current sense signal that represents the sense current between a first time instant, which corresponds to the determined end of the switch-on phase, and a second time instant, at which the logic signal signals a switch-off of the first transistor.

Abstract: A rectifier device is described herein. In accordance with one embodiment, the rectifier device includes a semiconductor body doped with dopants of a first doping type and one or more well regions arranged in the semiconductor body and doped with dopants of a second doping type. The rectifier device further includes a controllable resistance circuit that is electrically connected between the semiconductor body and a first well region of one or more well regions and configured to provide a resistive current path between the semiconductor body and the first well region. The resistance of the current path is dependent on an instantaneous level of an alternating input voltage.

Abstract: A multi-channel device with a single diagnosis status pin may be configured to detect if one or more channels has a fault. The multi-channel device, which may operate within a system, can communicate which channel, of a plurality of channels, has the fault using only a single diagnosis status pin and no additional diagnosis control pins. The multi-channel device may output a fault signal on the diagnosis status pin and in response to an interrogation input signal on the same channel as a fault channel indicate to the system which channel is the fault channel.

Abstract: In one example, a method includes selectively activating, by control logic and based on a control signal, a switch; in response to determining that an electrical characteristic of a signal provided to the switch satisfies a threshold while the switch is deactivated, activating, by the control logic and regardless of the control signal, the switch until determining that a potential of the signal provided to the switch satisfies a threshold potential; and in response to determining that the potential of the signal provided to the switch satisfies the threshold potential, deactivating the switch.
