    摘要: In a general aspect, an apparatus can include a leadframe including a plurality of leads disposed along a single edge of the apparatus. The apparatus can also include an assembly including a substrate and a plurality of semiconductor die disposed on the substrate, the assembly being mounted on the leadframe and an inductor having a first terminal and a second terminal. The first terminal of the inductor can be electrically coupled with the leadframe via a first conductive clip, where the first terminal of the inductor can be coupled with a contact pad of the first conductive clip. The second terminal of the inductor can be electrically coupled with the leadframe via a second conductive clip, where the second terminal of the inductor can be coupled with a contact pad of the second conductive clip. The leadframe, the assembly and the inductor can be arranged in a stacked configuration.

    摘要: A charge pump circuit generates a charge pump voltage that powers a bias circuit. The bias circuit generates a reference current and generates switch currents from the reference current. Gate-source voltages are generated from the switch currents and applied to switching components of switch circuits to connect two nodes. The gate-source voltages can be generated in the bias circuit and provided to the switch circuits. The gate-source voltages can also be generated in the switch circuits.

    摘要: The present invention provides an overcurrent detection circuit, an overcurrent detection method, a load circuit, and a portable device. The overcurrent detection circuit comprises: a first overcurrent detection sub-circuit and a second overcurrent detection sub-circuit; wherein: the first overcurrent detection sub-circuit is configured to perform overcurrent detection for a switch circuit when a voltage of an output terminal of the switch circuit is greater than or equal to a preset threshold; and the second overcurrent detection sub-circuit is configured to perform overcurrent detection for the switch circuit when the voltage of the output terminal of the switch circuit is less than the preset threshold.

    摘要: A LED drive circuit according to the present invention comprises a controller and a programmable signal. The controller generates a switching signal coupled to switch a magnetic device for generating an output current to drive a plurality of LEDs. The programmable signal is coupled to regulate a current-control signal of the controller. The switching signal is modulated in response to the current-control signal for regulating the output current, and the level of the output current is correlated to the current-control signal.

    摘要: This document discusses, among other things, an electronic circuit and method for defaulting to a valid battery supply to power an electronic device. In an example, an electronic circuit can be configured to receive information about the battery supply (e.g., an internal battery), such as the battery supply voltage (VBAT), and to determine if the battery supply is valid or invalid using the received information (e.g., comparing the VBAT to a threshold). If VBAT is valid, the electronic device can default to receiving power from the battery supply. If VBAT is invalid, the electronic device can receive power from another power supply, such as an external supply.
