摘要: Methods and devices are disclosed for performing analog to digital signal conversion in shorter time and/or with less power consumption than that of a comparable analog to digital conversion that uses a conventional sequential approximation method based on a binary search. In one embodiment, a predictive guess is supplied as a digital first signal. The digital first signal is converted (D/A) to a counterpart, analog guess signal. A comparison is made between the analog guess signal and a received, analog input sample signal. The result of the comparison is used to improve on the initially supplied guess in a next cycle. Fewer cycles and less power is consumed if the initial guess is within a certain range of the actual magnitude of the analog input sample signal. In one embodiment, a digital modeler is used to model a process underlying the analog input sample signal and to thereby provide fairly good guesses.

摘要: A low dropout (LDO) voltage regulator having more than one LDO modules, each LDO module having a frequency response adapted to a certain range of output frequency. The LDO voltage regulator can provide a gain over a broad range of operating frequency by combining output current from each LDO module and providing the combined current at an output of the LDO voltage regulator. The LDO voltage regulator further comprises a load monitor coupled to the LDO modules for disabling some of the LDO modules to reduce power consumption of the LDO voltage regulator.

摘要: A voltage-to-current converter providing an output current with compensation for process-voltage-temperature (PVT) variations of a component in the voltage-to-current converter. The voltage-to-current converter includes a first voltage-to-current converter branch, a second voltage-to-current converter branch, and a compensation current path. The first voltage-to-current converter provides a first current to the output of the voltage-to-current converter based on a variable control voltage. The second voltage-to-current converter branch provides a second current based on a fixed voltage. The compensation current path provides a compensation current from the second voltage-to-current branch to the first voltage-to-current converter branch compensating variations in the first current caused by the PVT variations of the component in the first voltage-to-current converter branch.

摘要: An LED driver controls current through an LED string. The LED driver generates a boosted PWM signal to drive a PWM transistor in the LED current path such that the PWM transistor maintains a substantially constant VGS, thus minimizing turn-on impedance of the PWM transistor. A current mirror circuit controls peak LED current when the PWM transistor is on. A trimming circuit includes a set of programmable switches to couple or decouple trimming transistor from the LED current path, and allowing for fine calibration of the LED current. By maintaining a low resistance and compensating for current mismatch in the LED current path, the LED driver provides efficient power performance and robustness that is particularly beneficial in high current applications.

摘要: A digital phase lock loop circuit provides an output with reduced jitter. The digital phase lock loop circuit includes a phase frequency detector that determines a phase difference between a feedback signal and a reference frequency signal to generate an error signal indicative of the phase difference. A numerically controlled oscillator generates a first oscillator output signal with a frequency proportional to the error signal and a second oscillator output signal indicative of jitter of the first oscillator output signal in reference to the reference frequency signal. A phase accuracy extender determines a delay amount from the second oscillator output signal and delays the first oscillator output signal by the delay amount to generate a phase-enhanced output signal with edges aligned with one of a plurality of reference clock signals.

摘要: A system controls a switching power converter to power LED strings using a predictive feedforward control mechanism. An LED controller determines programmed current levels and duty cycles for driving LED strings. The LED controller determines a predicted load for a subsequent cycle of a switching power converter driving the LED strings based on the programmed current levels and duty cycles. A power conversion controller uses the predicted load information to control switching of the switching power converter. This improves the dynamic response of the switching converter to changing load conditions, thereby improving overall power efficiency and performance of the system.
