The bandpass filter has a first input node configured to receive an input square wave signal and an output node configured to provide an output sine wave signal. The bandpass filter includes a first binary-weighted programmable resistor array. The self-tracking circuit includes a second input node coupled to the output node. The self-tracking circuit includes a counter, and the counter includes an output node coupled to the first binary weighted programmable resistor array.
Abstract:
A voltage regulator and a gate control circuit for an aid transistor coupled to assist a pass element for the voltage regulator during line transients having a given slope are disclosed. The gate control circuit includes a first circuit coupled to receive an output voltage of the voltage regulator on a first node and to provide a gate control voltage that mirrors the output voltage on a second node. A low pass filter is coupled to receive the gate control voltage and to provide a filtered gate control voltage to the gate of the aid transistor.

Abstract:
A circuit includes a gain stage, first and second amplifiers, and a comparison circuit. The gain stage has an input and an output. The first amplifier has an input and an output. The input of the first amplifier is coupled to the input of the gain stage. The second amplifier has an input and an output. The input of the second amplifier is coupled to the output of the gain stage. The comparison circuit is coupled to the outputs of the first and second amplifiers. The comparison circuit is configured to compare signals on the outputs of the first and second amplifiers and to generate a fault flag signal responsive to the output signal from the first amplifier being different than the output signal from the second amplifier.

Abstract:
A circuit includes an input pin connected to an integrated circuit (IC) that receives an input voltage that is provided to a first voltage circuit within the IC. A pass device having a control input responds to a first control signal state and a second control signal state. The first control signal state turns the pass device off such that the input voltage is switched off to block the passing of the input voltage to a second voltage circuit within the IC. The second control signal state turns the pass device on such that the input voltage is switched through the pass device to the second voltage circuit in a voltage range that is compatible with an input operating voltage range of the second voltage circuit.
