    摘要: A gate drive device drives a gate of a semiconductor switching element constituting an upper or lower arm of a half bridge circuit which supplies an output current, which is alternating current, to a load. The gate drive device detects a peak value of an element voltage which is a voltage of a main terminal of the semiconductor switching element or a change rate of the element voltage when the semiconductor switching element is switching. The gate drive device acquires a maximum value among a plurality of peak values or a plurality of change rates during a predetermined detection period including a period in which the semiconductor switching element performs switching multiple number of times.

    摘要: A power converter circuit includes a power stage that includes a transformer and a switch. The switch can be controlled in response to a PWM signal to provide a primary current through a primary winding of the transformer to induce a secondary current in a secondary winding of the transformer to generate an output voltage. The power stage includes a switching node between the switch and the primary winding having a switching voltage. The circuit also includes a switching controller configured to generate the PWM signal in response to a ramp signal. The ramp signal can have an amplitude of a slope that is proportional to a decay rate of a magnetizing current of the transformer and generated in response to feedback from the power stage. The switch can be activated in response to the switching voltage having an amplitude of approximately zero volts based on the amplitude of the ramp signal.

    摘要: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing a high-performance clock-gating circuit are described. A first pull-down stack receives enable and pulse signals on gates of N-type transistors which pull down an output node when the enable and pulse signals are both high. A pull-up transistor coupled to the output node receives a clock signal which turns off the pull-up transistor when the clock signal is high. A first pull-up stack receives the inverted pulse signal and the enable signal on gates of P-type transistors to cause the output node to be high when the enable signal and inverted pulse signal are low. A second pull-up stack maintains a high voltage on the output node after the pulse event has ended but while the clock signal is still high. A second pull-down stack maintains a low voltage on the output node after the pulse event but while the clock remains high.

    摘要: A circuit and method for controlling charge injection in a circuit are disclosed. In one embodiment, the circuit and method are employed in a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) Radio Frequency (RF) switch. In one embodiment, an SOI RF switch comprises a plurality of switching transistors coupled in series, referred to as “stacked” transistors, and implemented as a monolithic integrated circuit on an SOI substrate. Charge injection control elements are coupled to receive injected charge from resistively-isolated nodes located between the switching transistors, and to convey the injected charge to at least one node that is not resistively-isolated. In one embodiment, the charge injection control elements comprise resistors. In another embodiment, the charge injection control elements comprise transistors. A method for controlling charge injection in a switch circuit is disclosed whereby injected charge is generated at resistively-isolated nodes between series coupled switching transistors, and the injected charge is conveyed to at least one node of the switch circuit that is not resistively-isolated.
