Abstract: A system includes a load and a switching converter coupled to the load. The switching converter includes at least one switching module and an output inductor coupled to a switch node of each switching module. The switching converter also includes a controller coupled to each switching module, where the controller is configured to adjust a pulse clock rate and a switch on-time for each switching module. The controller comprises a pulse truncation circuit configured to detect a voltage overshoot condition and to truncate an active switch on-time pulse in response to the detected voltage overshoot condition.

Abstract: A current detection system includes an inductor and a detection circuit coupled across the inductor. The inductor is configured to receive an input signal that includes an input current and generate a voltage across the inductor. The current detection circuit includes a sensing network and a transconductance amplifier. The sensing network includes a capacitor and is configured to monitor a voltage across the inductor. The transconductance amplifier is configured to receive a differential voltage indicative of a voltage drop across the capacitor and output a differential output current proportional to the differential voltage.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a resistor string digital to analog converter (DAC) comprises a first plurality of resistors disposed in a first column. Each of the first plurality of resistors couples to an output of the first column via one of a first plurality of switches. The DAC also comprises a second plurality of resistors disposed in a second column. Each of the second plurality of resistors couples to an output of the second column via one of a second plurality of switches. The second plurality of resistors is configured to couple in series with the first plurality of resistors. A first row selection signal is to control a first switch of the first plurality of switches and a second switch of the second plurality of switches. The first switch corresponds to a first resistor disposed at a top of the first column, and the second switch corresponds to a second resistor disposed at a bottom of the second column.
