    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a switching circuit control device for a resonant converter that has a DC current output. SOLUTION: A half-bridge consisting of a first transistor Q1 and a second transistor Q2 generates a cyclic square wave voltage for driving a resonant circuit 300 for a resonant converter. A control device 100 has a circuit means 101 adapted to control the half-bridge according to a charging or discharging time period of a capacitor Ct and to synchronize the start time Tstart of a discharging or charging time period of the capacitor Ct that crosses a zero value of the signal Vs representing the current Is flowing in the resonant circuit 300; and additional means 102 and 103 adapted to control switching-off of the first transistor Q1 or the second transistor Q2 at the end of the discharging or charging time period of the capacitor Ct.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for controlling a load current even when a current ripple significantly varies. SOLUTION: The method includes: (A) a step of setting a threshold value of a comparator in correspondence to a reference current value for a load; (B) a step of measuring a first time interval from an active ON state of an ON phase of a power stage to a point of time when the load current reaches the reference current value; and (C) a step of continuously maintaining the power stage in the ON phase. Step (C) is performed while the power stage is further maintained in the predictive ON state for an additional time interval. The additional time interval is determined based on an average value of the first time interval and a time interval of the active ON state measured during a past PWM (pulse width modulation) cycle.

    Abstract: A flash compatible EEPROM device has a first flash matrix and a second matrix with EEPROM functionalities of substantially similar layout, both are divided into blocks of cells formed in substrate regions isolated from one another. In said second matrix, the information is organized in pages each one contained in a row of memory cells of one of said block of subdivision of the matrix. A hierarchic structure including a row decoder addresses the wordline of all the cells of a selected row of the block, co-operating with a column decoder in selecting single cells of the rows. A boosted voltage of polarity opposite to the single supply voltage of the device is applied during an erasing phase to a single wordline selected by means of said row decoder, to page-erase said information by applying a boosted voltage to the common source of all the cells of the block and to the isolated region of the substrate containing all the cells of the block. A logical circuit confirms the programmed state of each cell containing a logic zero information of the not erased rows of the block after one or more rows or pages have been erased, applying said first boosted voltage to a wordline at a time and said supply voltage to one or more bitlines at a time for confirming a preexistent programmed state, while keeping to ground voltage the common source of all the cells of the block and the confined isolated region of the substrate.
