    摘要: A ladder LPF includes a first capacitor formed of a transistor in which two terminals out of three are diode-connected, and a second capacitor formed by connecting a pn junction capacitor and an insulating capacitor in parallel. In the second capacitor, the pn junction capacitor formed in a semiconductor layer and the insulating capacitor formed in a surface of the semiconductor layer are connected to each other in parallel so as to almost overlap each other. Accordingly, the area in the LPF occupied by the second capacitor can be prevented from increasing even when its capacitance value is increased. Moreover, having the snap-back characteristics, the first capacitor can protect the second capacitor having the insulating capacitor from ESD. As a result, what can be obtained is a compact noise filter having high RFI removal characteristics and accomplishing high resistance to ESD.

    摘要: A power-conversion regulator comprising an inductive reactor, an output filter reactor, and a switch for admitting energy to the inductive reactor, additionally comprises computation circuitry responsive to the flux in the inductive reactor, to a reference signal, to an output voltage, and sometimes to an output load current, for computing the quantity of energy that must be supplied to a load and to the output filter reactor to regulate the output voltage or current to a desired relationship with the reference signal during each chopping waveform cycle driving the switch. As the inductive reactor is charged from an input energy source, the computation circuitry predicts whether the energy in the inductive reactor has become adequate for the regulation.

    摘要: In a control circuit and method for a high efficiency and low EMI switching amplifier, an input signal is compared with a reference signal to generate a comparison signal, and a control signal is generated in response to the comparison signal for a driver to generate an output signal. The output signal is fed back to control the slope of the reference signal in association with an initial level set for the reference signal to provide a minimum on-time period for the output signal. Alternatively, a reference value is provided to compare with the reference signal for setting a minimum on-time period for the output signal.
