    Abstract: A current limiting circuit includes a current sensing module that is configured to sense an output current of a power transistor and to generate a corresponding sensing current which is proportional to the output current. A first current limiting module coupled to the current sensing module is configured to generate a first limiting current based on the sensing current when a variation of the output current of the power transistor exceeds a first current level. A second current limiting module coupled to the current sensing module is configured to generate a second limiting current based on the sensing current when a variation of the output current of the power transistor exceeds a second current level. A converting module coupled to the first and second current limiting modules and the power transistor controls a gate voltage of the power transistor based at least on the first and second limiting currents.

    Abstract: A driving circuit includes a controller, a converter and a feedback module. The controller receives an input supply at a supply node, and generates a control signal according to the input supply. The converter receive an input signal at an input node and a control signal at a control node, and is configured to convert the input signal to a driving signal in response to the control signal. The driving signal of the converter is feedback by the feedback module to the controller. The input supply is generated from the input signal or the feedback driving signal. The drive circuit may drive a display device.

    Abstract: A three-phase load is powered by a PWM (e.g., SVPWM) driven DC-AC inverter having a single shunt-topology. A shunt voltage and a branch voltage of the inverter (across a transistor to be calibrated) are measured during a second period of each SVPWM sector, and the drain-to-source resistance of the calibrated transistor is calculated. During the fourth period of each SVPWM sector, the branch voltage is measured again, and another branch voltage across another transistor is measured. Using the drain-to-source resistance of the calibrated transistor and the voltage across the calibrated transistor measured during the fourth period, the phase current through the calibrated transistor is calculated. Using the other branch voltage measured during the fourth period and the drain-to-source resistance of its corresponding transistor (known from a prior SVPWM sector), the phase current through that transistor is calculated. From the two calculated phase currents, the other phase current can be calculated.

    Abstract: A low dropout amplifier may include an error amplifier having first and second inputs coupled to a reference signal and a feedback signal, respectively. The error amplifier may be configured to generate first and second error signals at first and second outputs, respectively, with the first and second error signals based upon a difference between the reference signal and the feedback signal. A sink stage may be coupled to the first output and configured to generate a sink current based upon the first error signal. A source stage may be coupled to the second output and configured to generate a source current based upon the second error signal. An output node may be coupled to receive the sink and source currents.

    Abstract: A circuit includes a field effect transistor having a gate driven via a drive signal. The field effect transistor has a drain-source voltage drop indicative of the intensity of a current flowing in the current path through the field effect transistor. The circuit also includes a pair of sensing transistors that include a first sensing field effect transistor arranged with its drain and gate coupled with the drain and the gate of the field effect transistor, respectively, and a second sensing field effect transistor having a gate configured for receiving a replica of the drive signal. The second sensing field effect transistor is arranged with its current path in series with the current path of the first sensing field effect transistor. A sensing signal at a sensing node is indicative of the current intensity flowing in the current path of the field effect transistor.

    Abstract: A class D amplifier receives and amplifies a differential analog signal which is then differentially integrated. Two pulse width modulators generate pulse signals corresponding to the differentially integrated analog signal and two power units generate output pulse signals. The outputs the power units are coupled to input terminals of integrators via a resistor feedback network. An analog output unit converts the pulse signals to an output analog signal. The differential integration circuitry implements a soft transition between mute/un-mute. In mute, the integrator output is fixed. During the soft transition, the PWM outputs change slowly from a fixed 50% duty cycle to a final value to ensure that no pop noise is present in the output as a result of mode change.
