    摘要: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide circuitry connecting an output of voltage reference circuitry powered by a relatively high voltage to an input of a voltage buffer configured to generate a voltage lower than the high voltage. The connecting circuitry prevents the high voltage from reaching the input of the voltage buffer. One example electronic circuit generally includes a voltage reference circuit configured to be powered by a relatively higher voltage, a buffer circuit configured to generate a relatively lower voltage as compared to the relatively higher voltage, and circuitry coupled between an output of the voltage reference circuit and an input of the buffer circuit, the circuity being configured to prevent the higher voltage from reaching the input of the buffer circuit.

    摘要: An apparatus comprises a voltage regulator including an high side switching transistor and a low side switching transistor. A high side drive controls operation of the high side switching transistor. A low side driver controls operation of the low side switching transistor. A bootstrap capacitor provides an operating voltage to the high side switching driver. The bootstrap capacitor is charged to a predetermined level responsive to a supply voltage. A low side driver drives the low side switching transistor according to a process that charges the bootstrap capacitor to the predetermined level. The process turns on the low side switching transistor for a first predetermined number of cycles and turns off the low side switching transistor for a second predetermined number of cycles. The process is repeated for a predetermined number of times during startup of the voltage regulator when a prebias load is applied to the voltage regulator.

    摘要: A high voltage device is connected in a voltage divider and couples a regulated voltage to a comparator for voltage regulation. The high voltage device is biased to conduct a current during regulator operation. When regulator operation is terminated, a switch in the voltage divider is opened to terminate current flow in the voltage divider. While the regulated output voltage can be coupled to the high voltage device when the switch is opened, the device node coupled to the comparator remains at a voltage level determined by the device bias voltage and the turn on voltage, V T , of the device, or V bias -V T , when the switch is opened. In one embodiment, the high voltage device comprises a field effect transistor having sufficient width to accommodate the voltage drop across the source and drain.

    摘要: A circuit includes an input for receiving power from an external power supply, a voltage regulator coupled to the power input and providing regulated voltage to an external circuit and to the power supply control circuit itself, and a first switch coupled between ground and an Enable input of the voltage regulator. A control input of the first switch is coupled to the regulated voltage, such that when the voltage regulator provides regulated voltage, the first switch is closed, coupling the Enable input to ground, keeping the voltage regulator active. A first switching circuit provides manual activation and deactivation of the voltage regulator; a second switching circuit provides automatic activation of the voltage regulator whenever the power input becomes powered. An intervening circuit prevents the second switching circuit from activating the voltage regulator when the first switching circuit has deactivated it, despite the continued presence of the external power supply.
