Abstract: A multichip module (MCM) device include a first die including functional circuitry bonded by a plurality of inter-die bond wires (bond wires) to a second die having functional circuitry. A first channel (Channel A) and second channel (Channel B) each have separate top and bottom signal paths (signal paths) including one of the bond wires. A failure of any of the signal paths does not affect functionality of the device. The first die includes input pins including a first input pin (P1), a second input pin (P2), and coupling circuitry including cross-channel test circuitry positioned between the input pins and the functional circuitry. The coupling circuitry provides for Channel A and Channel B a first configuration for normal mode operation and a second configuration for test mode operation for single bond wire testing for checking continuity of any of the bond wires.

Abstract: A circuit configured to adjust a minimum off-time for a switching element in a power converter. In an example, a controller includes a pulse width modulation (PWM) circuit and a timing adjustment circuit. The PWM circuit is configured to determine switching element off-time based on a received feedback signal and a minimum off-time control signal. The received feedback signal may be proportional to an output voltage of the power converter. The timing adjustment circuit includes a comparator, wherein a first comparator input is configured to receive a sample voltage that changes based on the output voltage of the power converter, and a second comparator input is configured to receive a reference voltage. The comparator provides the minimum off-time control signal at its output and is configured to adjust the minimum off-time control signal based on a length of time that the sample voltage is less than the reference voltage.
