摘要： A technique includes using a pass device of a linear regulator to provide an output signal for the linear regulator in response to a signal that is received at a control terminal of the pass device. The control terminal is coupled to a node, and the node is associated with a bias current. The technique includes using a feedback path to communicate a feedback current with the node to regulate the output signal. The use of the feedback path includes regulating a magnitude of the feedback current to be within a range of magnitudes, which include a magnitude that exceeds a magnitude of the bias current.

摘要： A system for reducing noise when detecting the capacitance value of a capacitor in a touch display that operates in a potentially noisy environment. A capacitance sensor is provided for determining the size of the capacitor in the touch screen display and includes a charging circuit that charges the capacitor and a discharge circuit that resets the charge of the capacitor to substantially zero. A control circuit controls the capacitance sensor and the operation of the charge and discharge circuits in accordance with a predetermined charging/discharging algorithm to resolve the value of the capacitor and output such value in a sampling operation. The operation of the control circuit and the charging/discharging algorithm is subject to errors as a function of the noisy environment, which errors will be reflected in the output value. A noise reduction circuit is provided to modify the operation of the control circuit to reduce noise.

The DC to DC boost converter includes a switching power converter for receiving the input voltage on an input and converting the input voltage to an output as the DC output voltage in response to pulse control signals.
