Abstract: Disclosed is a Boundary-Scan test receiver for capturing signals during board interconnect testing. The test receiver has a comparator with a first input to receive signals during board interconnect testing, and a second input to receive a reference voltage. A programmable hysteresis circuit is coupled to at least one of the comparator's inputs. The programmable hysteresis circuit may be configured to program a hysteresis voltage and/or a hysteresis delay, both of which help prevent the comparator from integrating signal noise.

Abstract: A power converter having a transformer with a primary side winding and a secondary side winding, each having a switch. When the primary master switch is switched on, the transformer charges. When it is switched off, the intrinsic capacitance of the secondary slave switch discharges generating the zero voltage switching condition for the secondary slave switch. The secondary slave switch is switched on at a time determined in accordance with the waveform generated by the transformer. When the secondary slave switch is switched on, the transformer discharges and ultimately the charge from an output capacitor flows into the transformer as a backflow which charges the transformer. The secondary slave switch is switched off at a time determined in accordance with a current flowing through said secondary switch. The intrinsic capacitance of primary master switch discharges generating the zero voltage switching condition for primary master switch which is then switched on.

Both the primary side and the secondary side have switches which are switched on and off alternately. When the primary master switch is switched on, the transformer charges. When the primary master switch is switched off, the intrinsic capacitance of the secondary slave switch discharges generating the zero voltage switching condition for the secondary slave switch.
