Abstract: An integrated converter for converting a DC power source into multiple DC output voltages is provided. In the converter, a voltage regulator is selectively coupled to the power source. A control module outputs a timing signal based on a buck/boost signal. A voltage bucking/boosting module bucks or boosts the power source based on the timing signal. When the buck/boost signal indicates a buck operation, the voltage regulator is operably coupled to the power source to generate an output voltage, and the voltage bucking/boosting module bucks the generated output voltage to generate another output voltage.

Abstract: The present invention provides a bandgap reference circuit, which includes a first current source, a second current source, a first reference circuit, a second reference circuit, and a selection circuit. The first reference circuit is coupled to the first current source and the second current source for outputting a first voltage signal. The second reference circuit is coupled to the first current source and the second current source for outputting a second voltage signal, wherein there is a phase difference between the first voltage signal and the second voltage signal. The selection circuit is coupled to the first reference circuit and the second reference circuit. One of the first voltage signal and the second voltage signal is alternatively selected by the selection circuit as an output reference voltage.

Abstract: A bandgap reference circuit, taking two or more power supplies as the input power supply for outputting a reference voltage, includes a first reference circuit, a second reference circuit, a power selection circuit and a switch circuit. The first and second reference circuits receive two respective power supplies for producing first and second voltages, respectively. As the power selection circuit takes the first power voltage level as the input voltage, the power selection circuit outputs a first control signal; while the power selection circuit takes the second power voltage level as the input voltage, the power selection circuit outputs a second control signal. The switch circuit is coupled to the power selection circuit, the first reference circuit and the second reference circuit. As the switch circuit receives the first control signal, it outputs the first voltage; while the switch circuit receives the second control signal, it outputs the second voltage.

Abstract: A boost/buck and DC/DC power converter with a charging function, a method thereof and a system incorporating the same are disclosed. The system uses an external power supply or a rechargeable battery as the power thereof. The power converter regulates the external power supply for producing the output voltage. An inductor-based booster/bucker further boosts or bucks the produced output voltage and the boosted or bucked output voltage charges the rechargeable battery.
