    Abstract: Systems and methods for skew compensation in a push-pull driver are described. A device can include a first circuit configured to output a skew measurement of an output driver stage in a driver circuit. The device can further include a second circuit configured to determine a first skew parameter based on the skew measurement and apply a first bias that is dependent on the skew measurement to drive a high-side transistor in the output driver stage. The device can further include a third circuit configured to determine a second skew parameter based on the skew measurement and apply a second bias that is dependent on the skew measurement to drive a low-side transistor in the output driver stage. The first bias and the second bias can be complementary.

A controller can be coupled to a power rectifier configured to rectify alternating current power into direct current power.

    Abstract: In an embodiment, an apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes a battery and a wireless power receiver. The wireless power receiver includes a controller and a memory subsystem. The controller is configured to perform a handshake with a wireless power transmitter. The handshake corresponds to a temporary suspension of a power transfer between the wireless power transmitter and the wireless power receiver. The controller is configured to transition the wireless power receiver from a power transfer mode, in which power is transferred wirelessly from the wireless transmitter to the wireless receiver, to a cloak mode, in which the power transfer is suspended, based on the handshake and obtain a supply of power from the battery based on the transition to the cloak mode, the power being configured for use by the controller to maintain power transfer state information about the temporarily suspended power transfer in the memory subsystem.

    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for isolating digital signals are described. A carrier signal can be modulated using a first signal to generate a first modulated signal. The carrier signal and the first modulated signal can be transmitted through a forward path in an isolation barrier, where transmitting the carrier signal through the isolation barrier can transform the carrier signal into a delayed carrier signal. The first modulated signal can be demodulated to recover the first signal. The delayed carrier signal can be modulated using a second signal to generate a second modulated signal. The delayed carrier signal and the second modulated signal can be transmitted through a return path in the isolation barrier, where the return path and the forward path has opposite directions.

    Abstract: System and methods for a power converter are described. A controller can generate first clock signals and generate pulse width modulation (PWM) signals using the first clock signals to operate a first number of active phases in a power converter to supply power to a load. The controller can determine the load demands a second number, greater than the first number, of active phases to supply the power. The controller can generate pulse signals and combine the pulse signals with the first clock signals to generate second clock signals having a higher frequency than the first clock signals. The controller can generate the PWM signals using the second clock signals to operate the second number of active phases in the power converter to supply power to the load.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for a voltage converter are described. A controller can include determining a pulse width modulation (PWM) on time duration being used for operating a voltage regulator. The controller can determine a switching frequency being used for operating the voltage regulator. The controller can determine whether the PWM on time duration is greater than or less than an on time reference. The controller can, in response to determining that the PWM on time duration is less than the on time reference, increase a voltage window for a PWM signal being used to operate the voltage regulator. The controller can, in response to determining that the PWM on time duration is greater than the on time reference, perform a frequency locked loop (FLL) to regulate the switching frequency.

    Abstract: A voltage regulator feedback circuit includes a first comparator, a second comparator and a logic circuit. The first comparator is configured to generate an overshoot signal based on a comparison of a voltage regulation target signal to a feedback voltage signal. The second comparator is configured to generate a forward current signal based on a comparison of the current sense amplifier voltage to a reference voltage. The logic circuit is configured to generate a breaking signal based on the overshoot signal and the forward current signal. A gate signal of a transistor connected between a second end of the inductor and a reference ground is generated based at least in part on the breaking signal and is configured to cause the transistor to open based at least in part on the breaking signal having a true value.

    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for operating a power converter are described. An integrated circuit can be integrated in a high-side driver of a high-side fiend-effect transistor (FET) of the power converter. The integrated circuit can detect a phase node voltage of a power integrated circuit. The integrated circuit can, in response to the phase node voltage being less than a threshold voltage, operate a high-side FET of the power integrated circuit in a constant-current mode. The integrated circuit can, in response to the phase node voltage being greater than the threshold voltage, operate the high-side FET of the power integrated circuit in a constant-voltage mode.

    Abstract: A switched-mode power supply, such as a constant on time regulator, is presented. The switched-mode power supply includes a high side power switch coupled to a low side power switch at a switching node. A ramp injection circuit is coupled to the switching node and a ramp switch is coupled to the ramp injection circuit are also provided. A driver is used to drive the high side power switch and the low side power switch and to control the ramp switch. The driver turns off the ramp switch when the switch-mode power supply enters a tri-state, and turns the ramp switch back on when the switch-mode power supply exists the tri-state. The tri-state occurs when the switched-mode power supply operates in a discontinuous current mode, when both the high side power switch and the low side power switch are turned off.
