    Abstract: An inductor-inductor-capacitor (LLC) power converter includes a current input interface to receive a current input indication. The current input indication includes a voltage to represent a current passing through of a primary side of the LLC power converter. The LLC power converter includes voltage input interface to receive a voltage input. The voltage input is to include a representative voltage to be provided from a secondary side of the LLC power converter. The LLC power converter includes a control circuit to generate pulsed-width modulation (PWM) control signals for the LLC power converter. The control circuit is to match an on-time period of a first leg and a second leg of the LLC power converter and based upon the current input indication and the voltage input.

    Abstract: A temperature-compensating clock frequency monitor circuit may be provided to detect a clock pulse frequency in an electronic device that may cause erratic or dangerous operation of the device, as a function of an operating temperature of the device. The temperature-compensating clock frequency monitor circuit include a temperature sensor configured to measure a temperature associated with an electronic device, a clock having an operating frequency, and a frequency monitoring system. The frequency monitoring system may be configured to determine the operating frequency of the clock, and based at least on (a) the operating frequency of the clock and (b) the measured temperature associated with the electronic device, generate a corrective action signal to initiate a corrective action associated with the electronic device or a related device. The temperature sensor, clock, and frequency monitoring system may, for example, be provided on a microcontroller.

    Abstract: A digitally controlled ramp generator has a constant current source, a first controllable switch coupled between the constant current source and an output node, a capacitor coupled with the output node, a second controllable switch coupled with the output node, a constant current sink coupled with the second controllable switch, and a control unit. The control unit is configured in a first operating mode to select control signals for the first and second controllable switch to generate a rising waveform by charging said capacitor through the first controllable switch and a falling waveform by discharging the capacitor through the second controllable switch wherein the control signals can be selected from the group of a time based control signal and a voltage based control signal. A variety of other control modes may be provided.

    CPC classification number: H03K3/017

    Abstract: An apparatus includes a pulsed-width modulation (PWM) generator circuit to generate generally complementary PWM signals. The signals are to prevent two complementary switches that receive the complementary PWM signals from both being activated at a same time. The PWM signals are generally complementary with respect to their active portions. The apparatus includes an override circuit to override at least one of the complementary PWM signals to yield adjusted PWM signals. The adjusted PWM signals are to cause the two complementary switches to be activated at a same time when the adjusted PWM signals are received at the two complementary switches.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes an adjustment circuit configured to receive a pulsed-width modulation (PWM) input, generate an adjusted PWM signal based upon the PWM input, and determine that a first pulse of the PWM input is shorter than a runt signal limit. The adjustment circuit is further configured to, in the adjusted PWM signal, extend the first pulse of the PWM input based on the determination that the PWM input is shorter than the runt signal limit, and output the adjusted PWM signal to an electronic device.
