    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a device and method for lid angle detection that is accurate even if the device is activated in an upright position. While the device is in a sleep state, first and second sensor units measure acceleration and angular velocity, and calculate orientations of respective lid components based on the acceleration and angular velocity measurements. Upon the device exiting the sleep state, a processor estimates the lid angle using the calculated orientations, sets the estimated lid angle as an initial lid angle, and updates the initial lid angle using, for example, two accelerometers; two accelerometers and two gyroscopes; two accelerometers and two magnetometers; or two accelerometers, two gyroscopes, and two magnetometers.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing dynamic current scaling of an input current of a voltage regulator are provided. The method and apparatus allow tuning current consumption in various applications, calculating a duration of an activity phase in which various algorithms are executed and activating dynamic current scaling of a regulator if the activity duration is shorter than a programmable threshold. A controller receives a threshold for an activity duration and a window size in which to evaluate the activity duration.

    Abstract: A circuit an amplifier stage that amplifier stage includes a positive amplifier branch and a negative amplifier branch and has current flow paths therethrough cascaded in a flow line for a core current for the amplifier stage between a supply node and a ground node. The positive and negative amplifier branches have respective input nodes configured to receive an input signal applied therebetween. A current mirror loop can be coupled to the respective input nodes of the positive and negative amplifier branches and provides an adjustable high-impedance bias source for the core current for the amplifier stage. In addition to, or instead of the current mirror loop, the circuit can include stability network having a gain bandwidth range. The amplifier stage is configured to short-circuit the output signal from the amplifier stage within the gain bandwidth range based on an output voltage setting signal.

    Abstract: A semiconductor chip or die is arranged on a first surface of a thermally conductive die pad of a substrate such as a leadframe. An encapsulation of insulating material in molded onto the die pad having the semiconductor die arranged on the first surface. At the second surface of the die pad, opposite the first surface, the encapsulation borders on the die pad at a borderline around the die pad. A recessed portion of the encapsulation is provided, for example, via laser ablation, at the borderline around the die pad. Thermally conductive material such as metal material is filled in the recessed portion of the encapsulation around the die pad. The surface area of the thermally conductive die pad is augmented by the filling of thermally conductive material in the recessed portion of the encapsulation thus improving thermal performance of the device.

    Abstract: A control module, for a resonant switched-capacitor converter with an inductor, includes a controller stage, an input stage generating a control signal indicating a control quantity, a delay stage generating a duration signal indicating a time quantity, and a circuit indicating zero crossings of the inductor current. If the control quantity is variable, the input stage clamps the control quantity to a control threshold. When in normal mode, the controller stage controls the converter to carry out a phase sequence with timings that depend on the zero crossings and the time quantity, so the converter generates an output current that depends on the time quantity and is prevented from dropping below a minimum current. If the output voltage reaches an upper threshold, the controller stage switches into pulse-skipping mode to suspend the phase sequence, and resumes the phase sequence after the output voltage drops to a lower threshold.
