Abstract: Circuits and methods within a switched-mode power supply (SMPS) controller are provided. The SMPS controller includes an SMPS power stage which is integrated within the same package, and which has a first power switch. The first power switch is used to supply current to a power supply for the SMPS controller during a start-up phase of the SMPS, thereby charging this power supply prior to normal operational mode of the SMPS. A lead of the SMPS controller is connected to a control terminal of the first power switch during the start-up phase. After the start-up phase, this same lead is instead routed to an input source voltage monitor, and is used for detecting overvoltage or undervoltage conditions at the SMPS input power source.

Abstract: Damping arrangement for low, medium and high-rise structures (1) using bidirectional damping means (5) such as visco-elastic Gensui damping devices, placed between two parallel elements of the structure (1), such as a core (2) and a perimeter column (3), or between two cores. Oscillatory or other flexural or shear deformations of the structure (1) are damped by damping axial movements between the two elements (2, 3), and simultaneously damping orthogonal movements between the two elements (2, 3). Outriggers (6, 7, 8) are used to enhance the axial damping moment, and the bidirectional damping means (5) may be installed in pairs, working in opposition to each other to damp dynamic shear or flexural forces in the orthogonal plane.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a switching power supply with regulated voltage suppression to reduce transformer audio noise. A switched mode power supply (SMPS) may supply power at different levels according to output loads. A switching frequency of the SMPS may be adjusted according to the output load. The switching may be subject to a ringing suppression time, a maximum on time, and a maximum switching period. By controlling the switching frequency subject to these quantities, the audible noise of an SMPS may be reduced or eliminated.
