  • Patent number: 7750686
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a current-matching method comprising steps of: providing a plurality of current channels; grouping the plurality of current channels into W sets, each of which has Q channels; and matching the channels of the same set in current, where both W and Q are integers greater than or equal to 2. The present invention also discloses a current-matching circuit including hierarchical tree structure having two or more levels, each of which includes multiple matching devices, wherein each matching device at a preceding level corresponds to a predetermined number of matching devices at a next level. Respective matching devices at a last level control currents in respective current channels; the channels of the same group are matched with one another in current.

  • Patent number: 7049800
    Abstract: A switching mode voltage regulator comprises a pulse width modulator and an adjustable one-shot circuit to generate an adjustable signal based on an input voltage, an adjustable voltage, and a PWM signal from the pulse width modulator at light loading to switch a high-side switch of an output stage in the voltage regulator. The ON duty of the adjustable signal is controlled by the adjustable voltage, such that it will be larger than that of the PWM signal and as a result, the number of switching the switch of the output stage is decreased, thereby reducing the switching loss and improving the efficiency of the voltage regulator.
