Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a circuit, capable of more efficiently charging a capacitance without increasing the power consumption for a parasitic transistor. SOLUTION: A circuit that charges a capacitance C with an LDMOS-LD integrated transistor is provided with a switching means SWb controlled by a logical signal UVLO. Hereby, the switching means SWb is made into active state, in order to charge a board node with the current whose maximum value is restricted to the pre-established value during a phase, in which a supply voltage Vs of an integrated circuit is lower than the minimum switch-on voltage of the same integrated circuit.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To surely control a gate voltage so that an LDMOS transistor can not be switched on undesiredly by providing a 2nd inverter provided with an input end, to which a 2nd logical signal is inputted and an output end which is connected to a gate node of the LDMOS transistor. SOLUTION: In a pMOS transistor M1, its source is connected to the cathode of a diode D1 and to a charging terminal of a bootstrap capacitor Cp, also its drain is connected to the drain of an nMOS transistor M2 and to the gate of an LDMOS integrated transistor LD. The source of the transistor M2 is connected to an output node A of a control inverter 101 and to the other terminal of the condenser Cp. Then gates of the transistors M1 and M2 are controlled by a logical signal UVLOb and prevent the transistor LD from being turned on accidentally.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To automatically switch off an LDMOS transistor by having a zener diode which is biased forward between a supply node and a source node of an LDMOS transistor and providing a 2nd zener diode in place of a charging diode. SOLUTION: A 1st Zener diode Z1 is used in place of a charging diode of a capacity Cp which exists at Vs supply voltage. A 2nd Zener diode Z2 is connected between a source node S of a transistor LD and the supply node Vs. When Zehner voltages VZ1 and VZ2 of the diodes Z1 and Z2 satisfy the condition Vs>VZ1, there holds VTH>VZ1-VZ2, and when Vs Vs+ Vbe-VZ2 holds. VTH is the threshold voltage of the transistor LD, and the difference between the source voltage of the transistor LD and the substrate voltage is equal to VZ2-nVbe.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain two ways of use for enabling finding out the advantageous use of a charge pump MOS voltage booster and boosters of this type. SOLUTION: A voltage booster is equipped with four MOS transistors (M1, M2, M3, M4) in place of a classical diode showing an undesirable voltage drop and with an oscillator having two output terminals and two corresponding charge transfer capacitors, in place of a classical oscillator of a single output having relevant charge transfer capacitors. In this method, the undesirable voltage drop substantially does not exist, and ripples are reduced without making a circuit complicated.

Abstract: The device and method monitor the current delivered to a load through a power transistor including a sense transistor. The circuit includes a disturbances attenuating circuit that has a differential stage, and first, second and third stages referenced to ground, the respective input nodes of which are connected in common to an output node of the differential stage. The third stage is formed by a transistor identical to a transistor of the first stage and delivers a current signal through a current terminal thereof, proportional to the current being delivered to the load.
