    摘要: An adaptive phase-lead compensation (zero) circuit is disclosed that can be added to a circuit (e.g., a CMOS-based LDO) to ease the compensation and increase the phase margin of the circuit. By using the disclosed adaptive phase-lead compensation circuit, an adjustable resistance can be connected to any nodes in the compensated circuit rather than just to the voltage source (VDD) or ground (GND), allowing the Miller Effect to be used via a Miller capacitor.

    摘要: In one novel aspect, driving a string of light emitting elements, such as LEDs, includes applying a drive signal to circuitry that regulates a voltage appearing at a source of a transistor whose drain is coupled to one end of the string of light emitting elements and whose source is coupled to ground through a resistive element. Sequencing of the drive signal and a voltage supply signal for the light emitting elements is controlled such that the voltage supply signal is not increased above a predetermined allowable voltage for the transistor until the transistor is turned on, and such that the supply voltage is not decreased below the allowable voltage for the transistor until the transistor is turned off.

    摘要: A cascode stage is arranged to improve performance of an operational amplifier. The cascode stage includes transistors that are arranged to operate as a current mirror. Each side of the current mirror has a corresponding voltage at a corresponding node. One of the corresponding nodes corresponds to a high impedance node that is coupled to a subsequent stage of the amplifier. The voltages at the corresponding nodes are closely matched to one another such that the input referred offset in the amplifier is minimized and the power supply rejection ratio is improved (PSRR). A transistor threshold voltage and a transistor saturation voltage determine the headroom requirements of the cascode stage, such that low power supply voltage operation is possible. The biasing of the transistors in the cascode stage is simplified such that minimal biasing circuitry is required, and overall power consumption may be minimized.

    摘要: A dual-mode circuit for the control of an AC/DC power converter is disclosed. An example dual-mode controller circuit generates a waveform that drives a switch on or off and controls the power converter. The controller circuit in addition to power factor correction (PFC) circuitry includes a critical conducting mode (CrM) module as well as a discontinuous conducting mode (DCM) module configured to generate waveforms adapted for CrM and DCM operation of a power converter. The circuit includes a node for receiving a feedback signal of a voltage or a current. Based on the received signal, one of the modules is selected at a time to supply the waveform at the output of the dual-mode controller. An example of the output waveform is a series of pulses that are configured to drive the switch that controls the transfer of power between input and output of the power converter.
