摘要: A power MOSFET driver circuit includes a feedback circuit configured to supply a feedback signal that signals when a gate voltage of the power MOSFET crosses a plateau value and the power MOSFET switches conduction state. The feedback circuit includes a comparator with a replica MOSFET of the power MOSFET, with scaled down dimensions, whose gate is coupled to the gate electrode of the power MOSFET. A bistable circuit has an input coupled to an output of the replica MOSFET and is configured to change a logic state of the feedback signal following the transition of the switching signal when the gate voltage of the power MOSFET crosses the plateau value and the power MOSFET switches conduction state.

摘要: A switch mode power converter input terminals to receive high voltage input power and output terminals to provide output power. The converter has a high side/float main power switch, a current sensing resistor and an energy storage component. A current setting circuit is used to control a current source circuit to drive a through a biasing resistor connected between the high voltage input and a reference voltage potential according to a grounded current setting. The high side power switch is controlled by a high side/float control circuit based on sensing a voltage across a series connection of the current sensing resistor and the biasing resistor. Thus the grounded current setting is transmitted to the high side control circuit without using complex level shifter circuit such as transformer or opto-coupler.

摘要: A power converter includes a power stage, a feedback circuit, a ramp generator and a controller. The power stage generates a pulse width modulation signal for forming an output voltage. The controller includes a comparator, a control logic circuit, an on-time generator and an off-time generator. The comparator generates a comparison signal according to a compensation signal from the feedback circuit and a ramp signal from the ramp generator. The control logic circuit generates a first trigger signal according to the comparison signal and an off-time pulse signal. The on-time generator generates a duty signal according to the first trigger signal. The duty signal is transmitted to the power stage for controlling a duty cycle ratio of the pulse width modulation signal. The off-time generator generates the off-time pulse signal according to the duty signal and transmits the off-time pulse signal to the control logic circuit.

摘要: A device for power conversion includes an inductor, a switch having a switching cycle to control current flow through the inductor, a sensor coupled to the inductor to generate a signal representative of the current flow through the inductor, and a controller configured to generate a switch control signal for the switch to implement cycle-by-cycle control of the switching cycle for current-mode control of an output driven by the current flow through the inductor, the controller being coupled to the sensor such that the cycle-by-cycle control is based on the signal representative of the current flow through the inductor. The inductor is configured to exhibit a decrease in inductance with an increase in the current flow through the inductor.

摘要: A driver circuit includes an input node to receive an input signal for conversion at the output node of a converter, a driver node to provide to a switching power circuit stage in the converter a pulse-width modulated drive signal having an active time, first and second active time generation paths, and a selector circuit coupled to the first and second active time generation paths. The circuit is operable selectively in a first and a second operational mode wherein the driver node receives the pulse-width modulated drive signal having a first active time value generated in the first active time generation path, or a second active time value generated in the second active time generation path. The second active time generation path includes an active time generator network to provide a second active time value with the second active time value adaptively variable to match the first active time value.

摘要: A power delivery system included in a computer system uses multiple power converter circuits to generate respective voltage levels on multiple power supply nodes. An embodiment of the power delivery system includes an input power converter circuit that generates a voltage level for use by host and follower power converter circuits. The host power converter circuit generates an external demand current that is shared by multiple follower power converter circuits to regulate the voltage level on the multiple power supply nodes. The power delivery system can be scaled to different platforms of the computer system by adjusting the number of follower power converter circuits.

摘要: A switching power supply includes a switching output stage configured to generate an output voltage by rectifying and smoothing a switching voltage that is pulse-driven as an output transistor is turned on and off. An oscillation circuit is configured to generate an on signal that alternates between an on period and an off period at a predetermined switching frequency, and a logic circuit is configured to set the on period of the on signal as a maximum on period of the output transistor. The oscillation circuit is configured to skip the off period of the on signal when, despite the output transistor being kept on for the maximum on period, the output voltage drops below a target value.
