  • Publication number: 20080231386
    Abstract: The oscillation circuit includes an output current mirror, a P-N complementary current mirror, a P-type current mirror and an N-type current mirror. The P-N complementary current mirror has the same structure as the output current mirror but has current that is only 1/k times the current of the output current mirror, wherein k is greater than 1. The P-type current mirror connects to the P-N complementary current mirror, and has current that is m times the current of the P-N complementary current mirror, where m is greater than 1. The N-type current mirror has one end connected to the P-type current mirror and another end connected to the output current mirror. The N-type current mirror has current that is n times the current of the P-type current mirror, where m × n k ? 1 , and n is greater than 1.

  • Publication number: 20080224673
    Abstract: The low voltage circuit for starting up a synchronous step-up DC/DC converter, which connects to a voltage source through an inductor, includes a P-type power transistor, an N-type power transistor and a controller. The P-type power transistor includes a body diode, and one end of the P-type power transistor acts as a power source of an oscillator. The N-type power transistor connects the P-type power transistor in series, and both of the power transistors are not enabled at the same time. The oscillator electrically connects to the controller, which enables the P-type power transistor at initialization time, and enables the N-type power transistor a period after the initialization time.
