    Abstract: A high performance digitalized Programmable Gain Amplifier (PGA). In prior art circuit, a dual-ladder DAC is employed for gain control, the back gate leakage of NMOS resistors in the fine ladder conquers fine ladder nominal current and it produces non-monotonic gain scallop. Two new art design techniques: (1) adaptively control the fine ladder; and (2) use dummy PMOS brunch device leakage compensates for the NMOS resistor device leakage, are proposed so that the non-monotonic scallops are substantially eliminated and 13-bit resolution/accuracy PGA has been achieved.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus providing a smooth transition from a pulse width modulation mode to a linear mode to drive a voice coil motor are disclosed. An example apparatus includes an H-bridge; a pulse generator to generate a pulse when the voice coil motor driver transitions from pulse width modulation mode to linear mode; a first boost circuit to, when the pulse is generated, increase a first current being applied to a first gate of a first transistor in the H-bridge, the increase in the first current enabling the first transistor; and a second boost circuit to, when the pulse is generated, provide an additional path to ground from a node coupled to a second gate of a second transistor of the H bridge, the path to ground corresponding to a voltage drop that disables the second transistor.

    Abstract: An angular resolver system includes, for example, an imbalance detector for detecting degraded resolver output signals. The imbalance detector includes a first and second power averaging circuits and a comparator circuit. The first power averaging circuit includes a first integrator for generating over a first time window a first average power signal in response to resolver sensor output signals. The second power averaging circuit includes a second integrator for generating over a second time window a second average power signal in response to the resolver sensor output signals, where the first time window is longer than the second time window. The comparator circuit compares the first average power signal and the second average power signal and generates a fault signal when the first average power signal and the second average power signal differ by a selected voltage threshold.
