Abstract:
A conversion circuit for discriminating sourcing current and sinking current utilizes a complementary switch circuit to change the serial loop connected with the output load according to ON/OFF signals, so as to correspond to a sourcing current output and a sinking current output. The conversion circuit also employs a voltage emulation circuit to shift the feedback voltage of both sourcing and sinking current to a suitable positive range, so as to omit a negative power source design. The conversion circuit utilizes a switch control logic circuit to timely blank the partial compared result of the feedback voltage of sinking current to generate correct ON/OFF signals.

A resistance adjustable of resistance mirror circuit having a master resistor R0, a reference current source terminal providing a current value I0 through the master resistor R0 to ground; a first transistor; a current mirror source terminal providing a current value n I0, through the first transistor to ground; an operational amplifier having a positive terminal connecting to a drain of the first transistor, a negative terminal connecting to the other terminal of the master resistor R0, and an output terminal connecting to a gate of the first transistor; a mirror resistor set composed of a plurality of transistors in parallel each other and having their source electrode connecting to ground. Each transistor of the mirror resistor set has a ratio of channel width over channel length being m-fold of that of the first transistor, where m, n is any positive numbers. Since gates of the transistors connect to the output terminal of the operational amplifier, each of the transistors therefore has an equivalent resistance Req=(1/nm)R0.

For protecting a power system, two or three of over current, thermal and under voltage protection circuits are integrated as one protection circuit but operate independently, and one or more protection points thereof are adjusted dynamically in response to detected condition of the power system. Specifically, using voltage and current conditions in the power system to modify the over current protection and the thermal protection maximizes the performance of the power system and covers the process bias in the circuits.
Abstract:
In a trimmer method and device, a reference signal of a target circuit is compared with a test signal, and a binary count output is generated according to result of the comparison. Thereafter, according to logic states of bits of the binary count output, electrical conduction through passive components that are coupled to the target circuit and that correspond respectively to the bits of the binary count output are selectively enabled and disabled so as to adjust the reference signal. The above steps are repeated by varying the binary count output until the reference signal approximates the test signal. Thereafter, fuses coupled to the passive components are melted selectively in a single fuse-melting operation so as to maintain the enabled and disabled states of electrical conduction through the passive components in order to set the reference signal to be approximate to the test signal.
