  • Publication number: 20130335119
    Abstract: A bi-directional comparator compares two input signals and applies a hysteresis level to the smaller input signal only after the output signal switches logical states and when the two input signals are within a predetermined range of each other. In one embodiment, the hysteresis applied to the smaller input signal is removed when the two input signals are no longer within the predetermined range of each other.

  • Publication number: 20050212502
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a power supply controller of a power supply system uses an algorithm to reduce the number of drive pulses to the output transistors under light load conditions. The algorithm groups the drive pulses to the output transistors into sets and removes some of the drive pulses for each set drive pulses issued by the controller. Each successive set removes additional drive pulses.
