Abstract: An electronic device includes a driver circuit embodied on an IC chip. The driver circuit includes a threshold voltage selection circuit that is coupled to receive a horn comparator threshold setting and to use the horn comparator threshold setting to provide a horn comparator threshold voltage. The driver circuit also includes a comparator that has a non-inverting input coupled to a first pin and an inverting input coupled to receive the horn comparator threshold voltage.

Abstract: In described examples, a storage cell ring includes circularly coupled storage cells. Each storage cell includes a respective capacitor for generating a respective integrated voltage responsive to a respective duration a respective storage cell is selected, a respective thresholding converter for generating a respective thresholded signal for indicating whether the respective integrated voltage has crossed a threshold, and respective selection circuitry configured to generate a respective select signal responsive to select signals generated by a respective adjacent storage cells. The ring is coupled to an analog quantifier for generating a conversion value responsive to the generated respective integrated voltage and a respective select signal. The ring is coupled to a loop counter for generating a loop count value responsive to changes of values of at least some of the respective thresholded signals. The conversion value and the loop count value can comprise a time measurement.

Abstract: A DC-DC converter circuit includes an error amplifier, a comparator, an oscillator, and a control circuit. The error amplifier is configured to generate an error signal. The control circuit is coupled to the error amplifier, the comparator, and the oscillator. The control circuit is configured to generate an oscillator control signal to control a frequency of the oscillator based on the error signal, and to generate a peak control signal provided to the comparator based on the error signal. The control circuit is also configured to switch, based on the error signal, between a first modulation mode and a second modulation mode during a transition mode, and in the transition mode, generate the oscillator control signal based on the peak control signal and the error signal.
