  • Patent number: 9729064
    Abstract: An electrical circuit for providing electrical power for use in powering electronic devices is described herein. The electrical circuit includes a power converter circuit that is electrically coupled to an electrical power source for receiving alternating current (AC) input power from the electrical source and delivering direct current (DC) output power to an electronic device. The power converter circuit includes a transformer and a switching device coupled to a primary side of the transformer for delivering power from the electrical power source to a primary side of the transformer. A controller is coupled to a voltage sensor and the switching device for receiving the sensed voltage level from the voltage sensor and transmitting a control signal to the switching device to adjust the voltage level of power being delivered to the electronic device.

  • Publication number: 20070188219
    Abstract: A current sense amplifier for a voltage converter wherein the voltage converter has at least one channel providing an output current through an output inductor, the current sense amplifier monitoring the current in the at least one channel through the output inductor, the current sense amplifier comprising a plurality of variable gain amplifiers, there being at least one more variable gain amplifier than channels in the voltage converter, whereby at least one variable gain amplifier is in a calibration mode for a preset period of time during which the variable gain amplifier is compensated for an offset error and the gain of the variable gain amplifier is calibrated to compensate for temperature of the output inductor, while during said preset period of time any remaining variable gain amplifiers are connected to monitor the channel current in each output inductor.

  • Patent number: 6724598
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a circuit and method of providing a voltage having a temperature independent current compliance to a load. The circuit includes a first resistive element having a temperature dependent resistivity, a second resistive element, an amplifier, a current module generating a temperature dependent current, and a load current controller. Temperature dependent voltages developed across the resistive elements track each other to enable a constant current limit over a wide temperature range.
