  • Patent number: 9904306
    Abstract: A voltage converter includes a high voltage regulator, a buck converter and a dual input linear regulator unit. The high voltage regulator converts a rectified voltage to a first load voltage. The rectified voltage is rectified from an input voltage. The buck converter generates an output voltage having a first level based on the rectified voltage during a stabilizing period and provides a transition detection signal that is enabled when the output voltage transitions to the first level. The stabilizing period is successive to an initializing period. The dual input linear regulator unit receives the first load voltage, the output voltage and a reference voltage, generates a second load voltage based on the first load voltage during the initializing period, and generates the second load voltage based on the output voltage during the stabilizing period.

  • Patent number: 9438109
    Abstract: A bi-directional voltage positioning circuit includes a voltage to current converter, a current mirror circuit and a switch. The voltage to current converter converts a sensing voltage to a first current, and the sensing voltage is sensed based on a current flowing through an output coil connected between a switching node and an output node. The current mirror circuit mirrors the first current to generate a second current and a third current, the second current is N times greater than the first current, the third current is M times greater than the first current, and N and M are real numbers greater than zero. The switch provides a feedback node with one of the second current and third current in response to a switching control signal, and an output voltage of the output node is divided at the feedback node.
