摘要: A power supply regulator circuit uses a feedback loop to control current through a first output transistor from a power supply input to a regulated power supply output. The first output transistor is included in an integrated circuit. In order to avoid heating of the integrated circuit in excess of an acceptable level due to permanent supply of a high current through the first transistor, current through a second output transistor in parallel with the first transistor, but outside the integrated circuit is raised when it is detected that the current through the first output transistor exceeds a threshold level. The second output transistor outside the integrated circuit serves to take over supply of a part of the power supply current from first output transistor inside integrated circuit, when long term supply of that part from first output transistor would lead to undesirable heating of the integrated circuit. During a limited time interval a first transistor current above the threshold level is acceptable. During this time interval the current through the second output transistor is raised slowly in order to avoid unpredictable stability problems and the generation of excessive power supply noise.

摘要: One or more embodiments provide circuitry for isolation and communication of signals between circuits operating in different voltage domains using capacitive coupling. The embodiments utilize capacitive structures having increased breakdown voltage in comparison to previous parallel plate implementations. The capacitive isolation is provided by parallel plate capacitive structures, each implemented to have parallel plates of different horizontal sizes. Due to the difference in horizontal size, edges of the parallel plates, where electric fields are the strongest, are laterally offset from the region where the parallel plates overlap. As a result, breakdown voltage between the parallel plates is increased.

摘要: An electronic circuit having a boundary scan test circuit receives, though one pin, an embedded clock encoded test signal having an encoded bit stream having occurrences of a first header followed by at least one encoded boundary scan mode bit and an encoded second header followed by at least one boundary scan test input bit. The bit stream and the clock are extracted and occurrences of the first header and second header are detected. Based on the detected occurrences the boundary scan mode bits and boundary scan input bits are identified and distributed to the electronic circuit, along with the extracted clock, and boundary scan test is performed.
