  • Patent number: 9421972
    Abstract: A method and arrangement are described for pick-up point retrieval timing in a vehicle having autonomous parking capabilities. The arrangement may include a communication interface arranged to receive data concerning a desired retrieval time. A processor may be arranged to monitor one or more parameters while the vehicle is performing autonomous driving along a route to a final slot until autonomous parking of the vehicle has been completed. The processor may be further arranged to calculate when to start autonomous return travel in order to be at the pick-up point at the desired retrieval time based on at least one monitored parameter. An actuator may be arranged to initiate autonomous travel to the pick-up point at the calculated return travel start time.

  • Patent number: 8754623
    Abstract: A DC-DC voltage converter has a pair of switching transistors to provide an output voltage and are alternately switched in a boost mode of operation responsive to control signals. An inductor is connected to the pair of switching transistor and has an inductor current flowing there through. A current sensor monitors an input current and generates a current sense signal responsive thereto. Control circuitry generates the control signals to the second pair of switching transistors responsive to the current sense signal, the output voltage and a current limit signal, wherein when the current limit signal indicates the inductor current exceeds a current limit the control signals configure the pair of switching transistors to decrease the inductor current.

  • Publication number: 20120229107
    Abstract: A current sense amplifier includes a high-side current sense amplifier and a low-side current sense amplifier. The high-side current sense amplifier provides a current sense voltage signal for use with a voltage regulator and generates the current sense voltage signal responsive to a first current sensed through a high-side switching transistor in a first mode when the high-side switching transistor is turned on and the low-side switching transistor is turned off. The high-side current sense amplifier generates the current sense voltage signal responsive to a second current through the low-side switching transistor in a second mode when the low-side switching transistor is turned on and the high-side switching transistor is turned off. The low-side current sense amplifier senses the second current through the low-side switching transistor and generates a current control signal to the high-side current sense amplifier in the second mode.

  • Publication number: 20110133553
    Abstract: A multi-output DC/DC voltage regulator has a master regulator for providing a first output voltage pulse responsive to an input voltage. The master regulator generates a synchronization signal that ramps from a first level up to a second level and discharges back to the first level responsive to the first output voltage pulse. At least one slave regulator provides a second output voltage pulse responsive the input voltage and a delay signal. The at least one slave regulator includes comparison logic for comparing the synchronization signal with a reference value and generates the delay signal to initiate the second output voltage pulse when the synchronization signal substantially equals the reference value. The first output voltage pulse is delayed from the second output voltage pulse by a selected amount.

  • Publication number: 20060097695
    Abstract: An analog OR circuit selects from a plurality of input voltages to supply other circuits within a device, especially battery powered devices, such as portable telecommunications devices. A plurality of input circuits convert the input voltages to current signals which are averaged to generate a reference current signal. A comparison is made between the input current signals and the reference current signal to generate comparison signals which are output to a winner-takes-all circuit or a comparator for selecting the strongest input voltage signal.
