  • Publication number: 20240333155
    Abstract: A single-inductor multi-output (SIMO) DC-DC buck converter includes a first switch, a second switch, a third switch, a fourth switch, an inductor, an error amplifier circuit, an inductor current ripple emulator circuit, a comparison circuit, and a control circuit. The error amplifier circuit generates a first error signal and a second error signal according to the output voltages of the SIMO DC-DC buck converter. The inductor current ripple emulator circuit generates a sensed voltage according to a first terminal voltage and a second terminal voltage of the inductor. The comparison circuit generates a first comparison result and a second comparison result according to the first error signal, the second error signal, and the sensed voltage. The control circuit generates first to fourth control signals for respectively controlling the first to fourth switches according to the first comparison result and the second comparison result.

  • Patent number: 11474789
    Abstract: A power supplier circuit supplies a power signal to a codec of an audio apparatus. The power supplier circuit includes a random sequence generation circuit, a control circuit, and a power circuit. The random sequence generation circuit generates a random sequence. The control circuit outputs a first control signal according to the random sequence, a first reference signal, and the power signal. The power circuit generates the power signal according to the first control signal, such that the power signal is spread in response to the random sequence.

  • Patent number: 11387823
    Abstract: A PFM control circuit includes a switching circuit, a slope-decision circuit, a flip-flop, a first and a second comparison circuits. The first comparison circuit outputs a first signal according to an output voltage of a power conversion circuit. The switching circuit outputs a switching signal according to an output current of the power conversion circuit. The slope-decision circuit outputs a slope modulation voltage, and determines a slope modulation voltage with a first or a second slope according to the switching signal. The second comparison circuit outputs the second signal according to the slope modulation voltage. The flip-flop outputs a control signal to the power conversion circuit according to the first and the second signals. When the slope modulation voltage has the first or the second slope, the control signal has a first or a second frequency accordingly. The first frequency is higher than the second frequency.
