  • Publication number: 20230188037
    Abstract: In described example, a circuit includes an error amplifier that receives a reference voltage and an output voltage, and generates an error signal. A comparator receives the error signal and a feedback signal, and generates a primary signal. A logic circuit is coupled to an output terminal of the comparator, and receives a clocking pulse. A clocking circuit is coupled to one of a first and a second output terminal of the logic circuit. The clocking circuit receives a clock signal and generates the clocking pulse. A driver circuit is coupled to the logic circuit. A switching circuit, coupled to the driver circuit, receives an input voltage and generates a switching voltage at a switching node. The switching circuit having a first switch coupled to a second switch at the switching node.

  • Patent number: 10821922
    Abstract: One example includes a power control system. The power control system includes an activation controller that is powered via a first power voltage generated via a first power supply and is configured to provide an enable signal. The activation controller can assert the enable signal in response to an input activation signal to control activation of a second power supply. The second power supply can generate a second power voltage in response to the enable signal being asserted. The second power voltage can be provided to regulate power associated with ancillary electronic circuitry. The system also includes a deactivation controller that is powered via the second power voltage and is configured to generate a disable signal to de-assert the enable signal in response to one of a plurality of predetermined deactivation conditions.

  • Patent number: 10581416
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide for a method. In some examples, the method includes receiving a synchronization signal, dividing the synchronization signal to form a first divided signal and a second divided signal, generating a first ramp signal and a second ramp signal, setting a latch output to a logical high value when the first divided signal has a logical high value or a value of the first ramp signal exceeds a value of a reference signal, setting the latch output to a logical low value when the second divided signal has a logical high value or a value of the second ramp signal exceeds the value of the reference signal, generating a synchronization clock according to the latch output and an inverse of the latch output, and outputting the latch output or the synchronization clock as a clock signal based on a value of a synchronization active signal.
