Abstract: A multi-port driving and sensing circuit is disclosed and provided for multi-load application. The multi-port driving and sensing circuit has a plurality of bridge switching unit and a controlling unit. A first and second upper switches of each bridge switching unit are commonly connected to a driving voltage terminal, and a first and second lower switches are commonly connected to a reference voltage terminal. When the controlling unit executes a sensing procedure, the first and second upper switches of each bridge switching unit disconnect to the driving voltage terminal and a sensing voltage signal of a load connected to each bridge switching unit is read through a signal reading unit. Therefore, when the sensing voltage signal of the load connected to one of the bridge switching units is read, the sensing voltage signal is not interfered by other sensing voltage signals of the load connected to other bridge switching units.

Abstract: A low-power semiconductor device is provided. A retention transistor is provided between a control circuit and an output transistor. An output terminal of the control circuit is electrically connected to one of a source and a drain of the retention transistor, and the other of the source and the drain of the retention transistor is electrically connected to a gate of the output transistor. A node to which the other of the source and the drain of the retention transistor and the gate of the output transistor are electrically connected is a retention node. When the retention transistor is in an on state, a potential corresponding to a potential output from the control circuit is written to the retention node. Then, when the retention transistor is in an off state, the potential of the retention node is retained. Thus, a gate potential of the output transistor can be kept at a constant value even when the control circuit is off. Accordingly, even when the control circuit is off, a constant potential can be continuously output from one of a source and a drain of the output transistor, for example.

Abstract: A power converter converts a medium-voltage output from a solar module to an appropriate voltage to power a solar tracker system. The power converter includes a voltage divider having at least two legs, a first semiconductor switch subassembly coupled in parallel with a first leg of the voltage divider, and a second semiconductor switch subassembly coupled in parallel with a second leg of the voltage divider. The power converter may be a unidirectional or a bidirectional power converter. In implementations, the signals for driving the semiconductor switches of the first and second semiconductor switch subassemblies may be shifted out of phase from each other. In implementations, if the bus voltages to the semiconductor switches are not balanced, the pulse width of the driving signal of the semiconductor switch supplied with the higher bus voltage is decreased for at least one cycle.
