  • Patent number: 10268790
    Abstract: An online monitoring unit and a control circuit for ultra-wide voltage range applications are disclosed. Compared with a conventional online monitoring unit, present invention eliminates a need to reserve delay units, replaces flip-flops in the conventional online monitoring unit with a latch, and uses a transition detector with fewer transistors than that of a shadow latch in the conventional online monitoring unit, thereby reducing an area and a power consumption of the online monitoring unit significantly and improving an energy efficiency of online monitoring techniques. In addition, in the ultra-wide voltage range applications, a time borrowing property of the latch adopted by the present invention can be utilized to prevent a timing error caused by process-voltage-temperature (PVT) variations, thus enabling a minimization of a timing margin and ensuring a higher power efficiency. The present invention also discloses a control circuit for use with the online monitoring unit.

  • Patent number: 10097077
    Abstract: A control method for improving dynamic response of switch power is based on a closed-loop control system comprising a sampling module, a dynamic control module, an error calculation module, a PID module, a mode control module, and a PWM module. The sampling module samples an output voltage Vo, and the dynamic control module compares the output voltage Vo with a set maximum voltage Vomax, a set minimum voltage Vomin, and a reference voltage Vref, so as to determine whether to adopt a dynamic mode. In the dynamic mode, when the output voltage Vo changes greatly, the output voltage Vo is rapidly restored to a stable voltage by inputting large power or small power.
