Abstract: Circuits and systems include a parallel resistor-capacitor (RC) network coupled between a pin and ground, and first and second transistors coupled in source follower configuration with a common gate coupling. The source of the first transistor is coupled to the pin. A first switch couples a drain of the first transistor to the common gate coupling during soft-start (SS) and decouples that connection during over current limit (OCL) sensing, and a second switch couples a drain of the second transistor to the common gate coupling during OCL sensing and decouples that connection during SS. A first current source is enabled deliver a constant current to the pin during SS. A second current source is enabled to generate a reference voltage at the source of the second transistor during OCL, which reference voltage is transferred to the pin by the source follower configuration. A comparator controls the switches to transition from SS to OCL sensing.

Abstract: An electrical device includes an integrated circuit having device circuitry and a boost converter coupled to the device circuitry. The boost converter includes a digital integrator circuit having: a first comparator; a second comparator; a counter configured to count up, count down, and pause based on a first output signal provided by the first comparator and based on a second output signal provided by the second comparator; and a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) configured to provide a feedback adjustment signal for the boost converter based on a count value provided by the counter.
