    Abstract: An electronic device having multiple power output circuits that individually include a switch control input, a bypass control input, an output transistor and an output control circuit that includes an RC circuit with a resistor and a capacitor coupled to the output transistor gate and a bypass switch in parallel with the RC circuit resistor. The electronic device includes a controller that selects one of the power output circuits for a given power transfer cycle, closes the bypass switch to bypass the resistor of the selected power output circuit and turns the output transistor of the selected power output circuit on to transfer current from the inductor to a load of the selected power output circuit.

    Abstract: A switch-mode power supply includes a DC-DC converter and metering circuitry that is coupled to the DC-DC converter. The metering circuitry includes scaling circuitry, a current source, a capacitor, switching circuitry, and a comparator. The scaling circuitry is configured to generate a reference current scaled to be a predetermined fraction of a peak current flowing in an inductor of the DC-DC converter. The current source is configured to output a first current that is one-half of the reference current. The capacitor is coupled to the current source. The switching circuitry is configured to switchably connect the current source to the capacitor. The comparator is coupled to the capacitor. The comparator is configured to generate a signal indicating that a voltage across the capacitor exceeds a threshold voltage.

    Abstract: A dual edge triggered retention flip-flop reduces clock tree power dissipation in an active mode and leakage power in a low-power (e.g., standby) mode. For example, a first latch can be used to latch a first state of an input to a flip-flop in response to a first (e.g., positive-going) edge of a clock signal and a second latch can be used to latch a second state of the input to the flip-flop in response to a second (e.g., negative-going) edge of a clock signal. A retention latch can be used to latch and retain the state of the flip-flop when the first and second latches are disabled to save power in the low-power mode. The retention latch can also be used to initialize at least one of the first and second flip-flops when exiting the low-power mode.
