    摘要: Switching regulator circuits and methods are provided in which the output circuit is adaptable to maintain high efficiency over various load current levels. The regulator circuits generate one or more control signals in response to the load current and selectively route a switch driver control signal to one or more switches in the output circuit. The switches differ in their size, such that the most efficient switch can be used at a particular load current level. At low load current levels, the driver control signal is routed to output circuitry with smaller switch devices, which incur smaller driver current losses for a given frequency of operation, thereby increasing the regulator efficiency. At high load current levels, the driver control signal is routed to large switch devices, which incur greater driver current losses for a given frequency of operation, but which have a lower impedance. The regulator thus maintains high efficiency over a wide range of load currents while operating at a constant frequency.

    摘要: A dual polarity voltage regulator circuit that is capable of regulating either positive or negative voltages is disclosed. The regulator circuitry of the present invention provides dual polarity regulation while requiring only one additional pin over a single polarity regulator. The present invention utilizes a single error amplifier, a negative feedback network, and an overshoot recovery circuit in providing dual polarity regulation. One advantage of the negative feedback network of the present invention is that the regulator circuit uses the same error amplifier (i.e., only one error amplifier) to regulate both positive and negative input voltages. The negative feedback network actively affects signals input into the error amplifier during negative regulation, but is essentially disabled during positive regulation. Thus, positive and negative voltage regulation are provided using a single error amplifier that retains its multiple functions (for example, oscillator frequency shifting, overshoot improvement and loop frequency compensation).

    摘要: Circuits and methods are provided for increasing the turn-off switching speed of a high-speed integrated circuit, bipolar switching regulator. The regulator The circuit runs at megahertz frequencies, yet is efficient as previously available bipolar integrated circuit switching regulators operating at much lower frequencies. The increased speed switch turn-off circuitry prevents the switch from spending too much time in a high power state (which would slow the switch down), increases the stability of the switch as compared with previously known designs. In a preferred embodiment, the circuitry includes a PNP transistor and a diode-connected transistor with their base-emitter circuits coupled to form a loop with the base-emitter circuit of a NPN transistor and the base-collector circuit of the switch to limit the on state voltage of the switch and control its depth of saturation. A capacitor is connected across the diode-connected transistor to reduce instabilities due to ringing caused by delays in the feedback loop.
