Abstract: A circuit for a switch mode power supply is presented. The circuit comprises a transient detection portion adapted to delay an analogue error signal (Vdiff) derived from the output voltage (Vout) of the switch mode power supply and to detect whether the difference between the output voltage and the delayed analogue error signal (Vdel) is within a predetermined range.

Abstract: A system comprises a plurality of electronic devices connected to a bus in operational use. For automatic address configuration of the devices, the devices are daisy-chained. In the daisy-chain, a preceding one of the devices transfers its address to a next one of the devices, and the latter determines its own address via an offset with respect to the address received.
