摘要:
An ultra low cut-off frequency filter. A filter circuit includes a control circuit responsive to an input signal and a feedback signal to generate a control signal. The filter circuit includes a controllable resistor coupled to the control circuit. The controllable resistor is responsive to a reference signal and the control signal to generate the feedback signal. The filter circuit includes a feedback path coupled to the control circuit and the controllable resistor to couple the feedback signal from the controllable resistor to the control circuit, thereby removing noise from at least one of the input signal and the reference signal, and preventing voltage error in the filter circuit.
摘要:
A circuit for optimizing a power management system. The circuit includes a first amplifier. The first amplifier is responsive to a first reference signal and operable to supply a first load current. The circuit also includes a second amplifier coupled to the first amplifier. The second amplifier is responsive to a second reference signal and operable to supply a second load current. The second load current is lower in magnitude than the first load current, thereby enabling the first amplifier to operate during a first load condition, and the second amplifier to operate during the first load condition and a second load condition. Further, the circuit includes a resistive element coupled to the first amplifier and the second amplifier, to isolate the first amplifier from the second amplifier.
摘要:
A voltage regulator includes an amplifier, a first buffer and a second buffer. The amplifier is designed to generate an error voltage between a reference voltage and a voltage at an output node of the voltage regulator. The first buffer is coupled to receive the amplified error voltage and, in response, to drive a first pass transistor. The first buffer includes a non-linear resistance element. The resistance of the non-linear resistance element varies non-linearly with a load current drawn from the output node. The second buffer is coupled to receive the amplified error voltage, and in response, to drive a second pass transistor. The second buffer includes a linear resistance element. The resistance of the linear element is a constant. The use of the non-linear resistance element enables reduction in power consumption in the voltage regulator.
