Abstract: A power converter incorporating a synchronous rectifier implements adaptive gate voltage regulation for fast turn-off of the synchronous rectifier. In some embodiments, the adaptive gate voltage regulation circuit and method monitors the slope of the synchronous rectifier current during the on period of the synchronous rectifier. In response to detecting the synchronous rectifier current decreasing rapidly, a larger gate discharge current is applied to quickly discharge the synchronous rectifier gate voltage. In response to detecting the synchronous rectifier current decreasing more moderately, a smaller gate discharge current is applied to discharge the synchronous rectifier gate voltage in a moderate manner. When the synchronous rectifier can be turned off quickly, large reverse current and large drain voltage spike at the synchronous rectifier is avoided. The adaptive gate voltage regulation circuit and method is particularly useful when the power converter is operated in the discontinuous conduction mode.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein enable distribution of a Charging Function group identifier (“CHF-Group-ID”) and other CHF selection data to CHF consumers during Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session establishment in a 5G network. A Unified Data Repository (UDR) is provisioned with CHF-Group-ID details for each subscriber of the network. In one aspect, during PDU session establishment, CHF consumers obtain CHF-Group-ID information as part of a subscriber profile that is provided to all CHF consumers. No additional step or hop is needed for the CHF consumers to obtain the CHF-Group-ID. Thus, regionally segmented CHFs can be implemented without replication of data between CHFs in different regional segments and without additional signaling between network functions.
