摘要:
A power supply system includes a rechargeable battery to deliver a supply current to a load and a circuit to limit a discharge current when the rechargeable battery is supplying power to the load. The power supply system may further include an integrator for integrating a discharge voltage representing the discharge current that exceeds a predetermined limit, a pulse-width-modulation (PWM) circuit for producing a control signal having a PWM duty cycle representing the discharge voltage, and a driver circuit for delivering the supply current to said load according to said control signal. In one embodiment, a digital register is used to set the battery discharging current limit, in another embodiment an analog circuit is used to set the battery discharging current limit, and in yet another embodiment or a combination of the digital register and analog circuit is used to set the battery discharging current limit.

摘要:
In a voltage converter, a blocking transistor has a conduction path between a power terminal and a converter terminal. A body diode of the blocking transistor: conducts current from the power terminal to the converter terminal; and blocks current from the converter terminal to the power terminal. A first switching transistor has a conduction path between the converter terminal and a switching terminal. A second switching transistor has a conduction path between the switching terminal and a ground terminal. A first gate driver has an output coupled to a control terminal of the first switching transistor. A second gate driver has an output coupled to a control terminal of the second switching transistor. A driver circuit has an output coupled to a control terminal of the blocking transistor. A bootstrap terminal of the driver circuit is coupled to a bias input of the first gate driver.
