摘要: A power circuit includes a switch circuit, an auxiliary load circuit coupled to an output terminal, a switching control circuit to operate the switch circuit responsive to an error signal, a regulator circuit having a sense resistor, a comparator to provide the error signal, and a DAC to control a sense current of the sense resistor. A DAC control circuit provides a DAC input signal having a controlled ramp rate responsive to a decreasing setpoint signal, a load control circuit selectively enables the auxiliary load circuit responsive to the decreasing setpoint signal and responsive to the error signal to control the power circuit slew rate.

摘要: A system includes an inductor and a first switch coupled between a first end of the inductor and a voltage supply node. The system also includes a second switch coupled between the first end of the inductor and a negative output supply node. The system also includes a third switch coupled between a second end of the inductor and a positive output supply node. The system also includes a fourth switch coupled between the second end of the inductor and a ground node. The system also includes a controller coupled to the first, second, third, and fourth switches. The controller is configured to provide an inductor charge mode, a positive boost mode, a negative boost mode, a first rest state involving the first switch, and a second rest state involving the fourth switch.

摘要: A circuit includes a charge pump to generate an output reference voltage. A first bootstrap refresh circuit receives the reference voltage from the charge pump and is coupled between first and second bootstrap nodes of a DC/DC converter. The first bootstrap refresh circuit supplies first charge current that is sourced from the first bootstrap node to the second bootstrap node based on a control signal indicating a first operating mode of the DC/DC converter. A second bootstrap refresh circuit receives the reference voltage from the charge pump and is coupled between the first and second bootstrap nodes of the DC/DC converter. The second bootstrap refresh circuit supplies second charge current from the second bootstrap node to the first bootstrap node based on the control signal indicating a second operating mode of the DC/DC converter.

摘要: An inductor has first and second terminals. A first switch is coupled between the first terminal and a voltage supply terminal. A second switch is coupled between the first terminal and a negative output supply terminal. A third switch is coupled between the second terminal and a positive output supply terminal. A fourth switch is coupled between the second terminal and a ground terminal. A controller is coupled to the first, second, third and fourth switches. The controller is configured to provide: an inductor charge mode; a positive boost mode; a negative boost mode; a first rest state in which the controller closes the first switch and opens the second, third and fourth switches; and a second rest state in which the controller closes the fourth switch and opens the first, second and third switches.

摘要: An integrated circuit contains lower components in the substrate, a PMD layer, upper components over the PMD layer, lower contacts in the PMD layer connecting some upper components to some lower components, an ILD layer over the upper components, metal interconnect lines over the ILD layer, and upper contacts connecting some upper components to some metal interconnect lines, and also includes annular stacked contacts of lower annular contacts aligned with upper annular contacts. The lower contacts and upper contacts each have a metal liner and a contact metal on the liner. The lower annular contacts have at least one ring of liner metal and contact metal surrounding a pillar of PMD material, and the upper contacts have at least one ring of liner metal and contact metal surrounding a pillar of ILD material. The annular stacked contacts connect the metal interconnects to the lower components.
