    摘要: A system includes a clamp network coupled between an input and an output and configured to clamp a voltage between the input and the output to a first clamp voltage based on the presence of a trigger signal and to a second clamp voltage based on the absence of the trigger signal. The second clamp voltage is greater than the first clamp voltage and the first clamp voltage is less than a breakdown voltage of the power transistor device. A detector circuit is coupled to the input and the output. A power transistor device may also be coupled between the input and the output. The detector circuit is configured to detect a pulse signal at the input or the output while the power transistor device is off and to generate the trigger signal for a time interval based on detecting the pulse signal.

    摘要: An apparatus, comprising: a charge-pump; a sampler that samples an optical signal, including: a black sampler; a video sampler; and an analog to digital converter. The first aspect further provides a single clock that is coupled to and provides clocking signals to: a) the charge-pump logic that is coupled to the charge-pump; and b) the sampler logic that is coupled to the sampler that samples the optical signal, wherein if the clock for the charge pump is running faster than an analog front end (“AFE”) video sampling clock, a state-machine control is configured to: skip the charge pump clock period right before a video sample signal falling edge, thereby recovering to a normal operation the next charge-pump clock period, wherein this duty cycle modulation of charge pump clock will not substantially impact charge pump output.

    摘要: One example includes a power control system. The power control system includes an activation controller that is powered via a first power voltage generated via a first power supply and is configured to provide an enable signal. The activation controller can assert the enable signal in response to an input activation signal to control activation of a second power supply. The second power supply can generate a second power voltage in response to the enable signal being asserted. The second power voltage can be provided to regulate power associated with ancillary electronic circuitry. The system also includes a deactivation controller that is powered via the second power voltage and is configured to generate a disable signal to de-assert the enable signal in response to one of a plurality of predetermined deactivation conditions.

    摘要: A circuit includes a charge pump to generate an output reference voltage. A first bootstrap refresh circuit receives the reference voltage from the charge pump and is coupled between first and second bootstrap nodes of a DC/DC converter. The first bootstrap refresh circuit supplies first charge current that is sourced from the first bootstrap node to the second bootstrap node based on a control signal indicating a first operating mode of the DC/DC converter. A second bootstrap refresh circuit receives the reference voltage from the charge pump and is coupled between the first and second bootstrap nodes of the DC/DC converter. The second bootstrap refresh circuit supplies second charge current from the second bootstrap node to the first bootstrap node based on the control signal indicating a second operating mode of the DC/DC converter.
