    摘要: A circuit protection device includes an overheat protecting circuit connected to a main circuit and capable of being activated so as to shut down the main circuit when operating temperature of the main circuit reaches a predetermined value, and a current limiting circuit connected to the main circuit for preventing current through the main circuit from exceeding a predetermined threshold value. The current limiting circuit is further connected to the overheat protecting circuit and controls activation of the overheat protecting circuit when the current through the main circuit reaches the predetermined threshold value. Therefore, erroneous operation of the circuit protection device due to a shift in component characteristics of the overheat protecting circuit attributed to limitations in fabrication can be avoided.

    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 two-step ripple-free multi-phase buck converter and method thereof comprises a first-stage voltage regulator to convert an input voltage to an intermediate voltage and a second-stage voltage regulator with a phase number not less than two to further convert the intermediate voltage to an output voltage by a split phase control, in which the ratio of the intermediate voltage to the output voltage is intended to the phase number such that the steady state output current of the converter approaches to be ripple-free, and hence the drivers and MOSFETs for the second-stage voltage regulator are lower cost, the efficiency of the second-stage voltage regulator is improved, and a higher slew rate current is obtained for transient driving capabilities.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for current balance in a multi-phase DC-to-DC converter with a converter output voltage and a plurality of channel currents employs for each channel a multi-input pulse width modulator or an ordinary pulse width modulator in conjunction with a multi-input comparator to produce a respective PWM signal to regulate the corresponding channel current. In addition to the comparison of the converter output voltage with a reference signal to produce an error signal, the apparatus and method compares the error signal with a ramp signal and the corresponding channel current with each of the other channel currents with the multi-input pulse width modulator. Alternatively, a ramp signal is compared by the ordinary pulse width modulator with a signal derived from the multi-input comparator which subtracts the corresponding channel current from each other channel current and sums the error signal.
