    摘要: The monitoring of multiple supply voltages of an integrated circuit is done using a single external capacitor connected to a pin of the integrated circuit. Part of the multiple supply voltages are externally generated and part are internally generated. The internally generated supply voltages may include different voltages with different signs. A logic signal indicating that all the supply voltages have reached pre-established values before enabling functioning of the integrated circuit is generated after an initial soft start phase of the turn-on process.

    摘要: The method is for controlling a voice coil motor which drives a mechanical arm via a control circuit which sets the output nodes, to which the motor is connected, in a high impedance state for a certain time interval. The method and circuit detect the back electromotive force induced on the motor winding during the time interval, and deliver current pulses for driving the motor. The circuit compares the detected back electromotive force with a certain target value and regulates the amplitude of the driving current pulses as a function of the difference between the detected value of the back electromotive force and a voltage signal representing the desired speed of the arm, according to a pre-established function. A preferred embodiment includes such a function being a pre-established saturated linear characteristic with an offset value.

    摘要: A circuit and a method generate first and second triangular waveforms opposite in phase to each other. The circuit includes a capacitor having a first plate coupled to a first output at which the first triangular waveform is produced and a second plate coupled to a second output at which the second triangular waveform is produced. First and second switches are coupled between a first voltage reference and the first and second plates, respectively, of the capacitor. The circuit also includes a controller having a first output coupled to the control terminal of the first switch and a second output coupled to a controlled terminal of a second switch. The controller is structured to produce at the first and second outputs respective first and second control signals in opposition to each other and thereby control the first and second switches in opposition to each other. The circuit may include a differential stage having first and second inputs and an output with the first input being coupled to a second voltage reference and the output being coupled to the capacitor. A first resistor may be coupled between the first output of the circuit and the second input of the differential stage and a second resistor may be coupled between the second output of the circuit and the second input of the differential stage. Such a differential stage and resistors insure that the average value of the triangular waveforms is equal to the second voltage reference.
