Abstract: A method includes receiving a signal to turn on a hybrid power switch circuitry when the received signal is asserted. The method further includes generating a first logic signal in response to a feedback signal and further in response to a signal received from one or more switches. The method also includes generating a second logic signal in response to the feedback signal and further in response to the signal received from the one or more switches. The method includes driving a silicon device based on the first logic signal. Moreover, the method includes driving a wide bandgap device based on the second logic signal. The method includes generating the feedback signal based on whether the silicon device or the wide bandgap device is on or off.

Abstract: A technique for generating from a point set geometric data that continuously describe a course of a geographic object used in the context of generating data for a navigation device or driver assisted system is disclosed. The technique includes determining, from sub-sets of two or more road points, a sequence of primary base elements; determining an interconnecting secondary base element for adjacent primary base elements, that continuously connects to and at a connection point has the same gradient as each of the interconnected primary base elements; determining an interconnecting transition curve for adjacent primary and secondary base elements, that continuously connects to and at a connection point has the same gradient and the same curvature as each of the interconnected primary and secondary base elements; and determining geometric data that continuously describe a course of the geographic object from primary base elements, secondary base elements and transition curves.
