Abstract: A power converter includes a watchdog circuit having an input adapted to be coupled to a pause signal of a switching power supply. The watchdog circuit is configured to provide a start signal at an output thereof based on the pause signal indicating that the power converter has stopped switching for a threshold duration that is less than an audible range. A pulse generator circuit has an input coupled to the output of the watchdog circuit and is configured to generate at least one pulse based on the start signal. A switch circuit has an input terminal adapted to be coupled to an input voltage and at least one other terminal adapted to be coupled to an inductor. The switch circuit is configured to provide negative current from an output of the power converter through the at least one other terminal based on the at least one pulse.

Abstract: An electronic device has a modulator circuit, a pulse adjustment circuit, and a pulse generator circuit. The modulator circuit generates a comparator output signal based on a sensed inductor current signal of a power converter, an error amplifier output voltage signal, and a ramp signal to regulate an output voltage signal of the power converter. The pulse adjustment circuit generates an adjusted pulse signal based on the comparator output signal and the error amplifier output voltage signal, and to generate an adjusted clock signal based on an input clock signal and the error amplifier output voltage signal. The pulse generator circuit generates a switching control signal to control a transistor of the power converter based on the adjusted pulse signal and the adjusted clock signal.

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a low power fast differential transconductor, which provides an output current as a function of a difference between a reference potential input and a feedback potential input. The transconductance increases as an absolute value of the difference between the reference potential and the feedback potential increases. The transconductor includes a reference input stage to receive the reference potential and a reference load coupled in series with the reference input stage. The transconductor includes a feedback input stage to receive the feedback potential and a feedback load coupled in series with the feedback input stage. The transconductor further includes a current limiting component that is configured to control a total current through the reference input stage and the feedback input stage. The transconductor includes a negative feedback path from the reference load to the current limiting component, that compensates for changes in the total current due to differences between the reference potential and the feedback potential.

Abstract: A compensation circuit includes a tail current source, an error amplifier; a compensation resistor, and a voltage-to-current converter circuit. The tail current source is configured to generate a tail current. The error amplifier is coupled to the tail current source and biased by the tail current. The compensation resistor is coupled to the error amplifier. The voltage-to-current converter circuit is coupled to the error amplifier. The compensation resistor is configured to vary in resistance responsive to a change in the tail current, or the voltage-to-current converter circuit is configured to vary in transconductance responsive to the change in the tail current.
