摘要: A regulator circuit comprises: a regulator output node; at least (N+1) regulator control circuits, N being an integer greater than 1; N drivers, each one of the N drivers including: a multiplexer having an input port and an output port, the input port of the multiplexer being coupled with output nodes of the at least (N+1) regulator control circuits; an adjuster circuit configured to adjust a level of a current supplied by the driver to the regulator output node; and a task controller. The task controller is configured to: set a first one of the N+1 regulator control circuits to be idle during a first cycle of a clock signal; and set a second one of the N+1 regulator control circuits to be idle during a second cycle of the clock signal.

摘要: A power converter includes a first load terminal used to supply a current to a load and a second load terminal used to return a feedback voltage based on the current. A calibration circuit supplies a calibrated voltage processed from the feedback voltage, and a hysteretic comparator controls a current level of the current based on a difference between the feedback voltage and the calibrated voltage.

摘要: A comparator has a first terminal, a second terminal, and an output terminal. A selection circuit is coupled to the first terminal. A calibration circuit is coupled to the output terminal and the second terminal. The comparator is configured to operate in a first mode when the selection circuit provides a first input signal to the first terminal and the calibration circuit provides a second input signal to the second terminal. The comparator is configured to operate in a second mode when the selection circuit provides a first calibration signal to the first terminal and the calibration circuit provides a second calibration signal to the second terminal based on an output signal at the output terminal. The comparator generates the output signal based on the first calibration signal and the second calibration signal.

摘要: A charge pump circuit includes an output stage coupled to an output, a pumping stage between an input and the output stage, and a control circuit that outputs control signals. A pumping stage transistor includes S/D terminals coupled to input/output terminals, capacitive devices between signal terminals and either a transistor gate or a S/D terminal, and diode devices including either the anode/cathode or cathode/anode coupled to the respective gate and S/D terminal. An output stage transistor includes S/D terminals coupled to an input terminal and the output. One control signal includes a transition from first to second logic levels at a first time and another control signal includes a transition from the first to second logic levels at a second time, and a period between the transitions is sufficiently small to cause a change in a voltage at the pumping stage S/D terminal to be less than 100 millivolts.

摘要: An integrated circuit includes a first conductive path over a substrate, a coil structure over the substrate, and a ferromagnetic structure. The first conductive path is configured to carry a first time-varying current and to generate a first time-varying magnetic field based on the first time-varying current. The coil structure is magnetically coupled with the first conductive path, and is configured to generate an induced electrical potential responsive to the first time-varying magnetic field. The ferromagnetic structure includes an open portion. The first conductive path extends through the open portion of the ferromagnetic structure. The first conductive path includes a first conductive line below the ferromagnetic structure, a second conductive line above the ferromagnetic structure, and a first via plug coplanar with the ferromagnetic structure. The first via plug electrically coupling the first conductive line and the second conductive line.

摘要: An integrated circuit (IC) package structure includes an electrical signal path, a low thermal resistance path and a substrate that includes a first device and a second device. The first device and the second device are part of an IC chip. The electrical signal path is from the first device to a top surface of the IC chip. The low thermal resistance path extends from the second device to the top surface of the IC chip. The low thermal resistance path is electrically isolated from the electrical signal path. The second device is thermally coupled to the first device by a low thermal resistance substrate path.

摘要: A circuit includes an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The ADC is configured to receive an analog feedback signal and an analog input signal and generate a digital output. The circuit further includes a digital filter configured to filter the digital output and a noise shaper. The noise shaper is configured to truncate the filtered digital output and generate a noise shaper output, and to shape quantization noise generated during truncation. The circuit further includes a pulse width modulation digital-to-analog converter (PWM DAC) configured to process the truncated digital output of the noise shaper output and generate a PWM DAC output.
