    Abstract: The invention concerns a method of controlling the charging of a bootstrap capacitance (CBOOT) incorporated into a switching regulator (2) of a power transistor (M1). The method consists of carrying out, at each switching cycle, a comparison between the voltage value (VCBOOT) at the bootstrap capacitance (CBOOT) and a predetermined threshold voltage (Vs), to change the mode of operation of the regulator following said comparison. More particularly, the control on the transistor (M1) is taken off the regulator (2) when the voltage (VCBOOT) at the bootstrap capacitance (CBOOT) is lower than the threshold voltage (Vs), while the transistor (M1) is forced into the "on" state through a full cycle. In this way, the minimum current (IMIN) to operate the regulator (2) can be minimised.

    Abstract: A synchronization circuit (1) for electronic devices and components, being of the type which comprises an internal synchronization signal (5) generator (4) and an input/output terminal (A) whereat an external synchronization signal (SINC) can be received, or the internal synchronization signal (5) can be supplied from the circuit (1), further comprises a comparator block (6) being input both said signals and having a control output for supplying said terminal (A) with the signal (SINC,5) corresponding to the master/slave mode of operation of the synchronization circuit. The invention also concerns a method of generating and supplying a synchronization signal to a plurality of electronic devices (18) being operated as slave devices to a synchronization circuit (1) acting as the master device.
