    摘要: A transistor-based full-wave bridge rectifier is suitable for low A.C. input voltages such as received by a Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) device. Voltage drops due to bridge diodes are avoided. Four p-channel transistors are arranged in a bridge across the A.C. inputs to produce an internal power voltage. A comparator receives the A.C. input and controls timing of voltage boost drivers that alternately drive gates of the four p-channel transistors with voltages boosted higher than the peak A.C. voltage. Four diode-connected transistors are connected in parallel with the four p-channel bridge transistors to conduct during initial start-up before the comparator and boost drivers operate. Substrates are connected to the power voltage on the power-voltage half of the bridge and to the A.C. inputs on the ground half of the bridge to fully shut off transistors, preventing reverse current flow. The transistor bridge can be integrated onto system chips.

    摘要: A light-emitting diode (LED) driver provides faster rise and fall times for LED current to reduce image sticking and other interference. A standard DC-DC converter provides a sum current that is slowly ramped up and down by a bypass current digital-to-analog converter (DAC). A digital value to the bypass current DAC is ramped up or down before an LED current is turned on or off. When the LED current is turned on, current is shifted from a bypass path to a path through the LED, maintaining a constant sum current from the DC-DC converter. When a different LED is turned on, current is shifted from one LED's path to the other LED's path. Separate LED current DAC's in each LED path and in the bypass path can share the sum current with digital precision. Using a single DAC for the sum current and switches in each path reduces cost.
