摘要: The techniques and circuits, described herein, include solutions for pass-through operation including overcurrent protection in buck-boost converters. In some aspects, first and second switches selectively couple inputs of a peak current comparator to inputs of an error amplifier during pass-through operation. As part of peak current control scheme, one of the peak current comparator inputs is coupled to a current sensor that senses a current through an inductor of the buck-boost converter. As a result, an output of the error amplifier tracks the inductor current during pass-through mode, which may be utilized to implement inductor overcurrent protection in the pass-through mode.

摘要: A voltage regulator includes a transconductance amplifier having an input and an output. The input is coupled to a voltage regulator output. A droop compensation circuit is coupled to the output of the transconductance amplifier. The droop compensation circuit includes a voltage source circuit configured to cause a voltage at an output of the voltage regulator to change from a first voltage level to a second voltage level in response to a first change in a load condition and remain at the second voltage level until a second change in the load condition. The droop compensation circuit also is configured to cause the voltage at the output of the voltage regulator to change from the second voltage level back to the first voltage level in response to the second change in the load condition.

摘要: The present disclosure generally relates to semiconductor devices including a material having a wide bandgap energy, or simply bandgap, located in a drift well of the semiconductor device. In an example, a semiconductor device includes a laterally-diffused metal-oxide-semiconductor (LDMOS) transistor. The LDMOS transistor includes a drain region, a source region, and a drift well. The drain region is disposed in a semiconductor material of a semiconductor substrate. The source region is disposed in the semiconductor material of the semiconductor substrate. The drift well is disposed laterally between the drain region and the source region. The drift well includes a wide bandgap material, and the wide bandgap material has a bandgap energy that is larger than a bandgap energy of the semiconductor material of the semiconductor substrate.

摘要: Transistors with raised source/drain structures and methods of making the transistors are described. A method for making such transistors includes forming a first gate and a second gate on a substrate, forming a p-doped region adjacent the first gate, and forming an n-doped region adjacent the second gate. The method further includes forming a silicon germanium (SiGe) region in a portion of the p-doped region. Subsequently, the method simultaneously forms raised source-drain structures over the SiGe region and on the n-doped region.

摘要: A method and circuit for recovering data from a digital bitstream received from an analog to digital converter includes asynchronously oversampling the digital bitstream at a sampling rate dictated by an estimate of a clock rate of the analog to digital converter and a nominal oversampling factor. The method and circuit also includes calculating widths of bits of the digital bitstream, and calculating a learned oversampling factor using the calculated widths of a predetermined number of bits of the digital bitstream and a minimization function. The method and circuit also includes calculating data bits to be inserted to a digital filter for digestion using the calculated widths of the bits of the digital bitstream and the learned oversampling factor.
