    摘要: A power stage, comprising of multiple power MOSFETs and control and monitoring circuits, is an important part of voltage regulators. The voltage regulator controller typically monitors the power stage output current to implement control and protection functions. Traditional power stages mostly adapt monolithic solutions, suffering from performance inefficiencies due to the LDMOS process, while co-packaged solutions with combined VDMOS and LDMOS processes suffer from potential large current monitoring errors due to different operating temperatures. The current invention proposes a current monitoring circuit with temperature compensation to cancel the temperature coefficient mismatch between the external power MOSFET and the current monitoring circuit. Therefore, the gain of the current monitoring circuit doesn't change with the temperature, allowing for high current monitoring precision, and the temperature compensation circuit doesn't affect the bandwidth of the current monitoring circuit, allowing the use of the output current monitoring signal for close-loop control and over-current protection.

    摘要: A power on reset circuit comprises terminals for reference and supply potentials and a voltage divider coupled therebetween. First and second transistors of a bandgap circuit are resistively coupled to the reference potential terminal and have bases connected to the voltage divider. Current mirrors couple the collectors of the first and second transistors to an output terminal providing an output signal indicating a power on reset condition. A first compensation transistor is coupled between the collector of one of the transistors and the reference potential terminal, and a second compensation transistor is coupled between the output terminal and the reference potential terminal to compensate the effect of parasitic substrate currents in response to an external interference.
