Patent
Control circuit and method for maintaining high efficiency over broad current ranges in a switching regulator circuit
TL;DR: In this paper, a circuit and method for controlling a switching voltage regulator having a switch including one or more switching transistors and an output adapted to supply current at a regulated voltage to a load including an output capacitor is presented.
Patent
Circuit for driving two power mosfets in a half-bridge configuration
TL;DR: In this paper, a driver circuit for driving top and bottom power transistors stacked between two supply terminals is provided, which includes shoot-through reduction means for monitoring the gate-to-source voltages of the two transistors so as to inhibit the turning-on of each power transistor until the gate to source voltage of the other power transistor has fallen to a voltage level indicative of one being OFF.
Patent
Circuit and method for reducing quiescent current in a switching regulator
TL;DR: In this article, a switching mode voltage regulator circuit that operates at reduced quiescent current levels is provided, where an error amplifier in the control circuit is placed in a micropower operating state when the regulator is in standby mode.
Patent
Synchronous switching regulator which employs switch voltage-drop for current sensing
TL;DR: In this article, a voltage-drop sensing circuitry for a synchronous switching regulator is presented, in which the current sensing element typically in series with a load is eliminated, resulting in reduced dissipative losses and less costly manufacture.
Patent
High efficiency switching regulator with adaptive drive output circuit
TL;DR: In this article, switching regulator circuits and methods are provided in which the output circuit is adaptable to maintain high efficiency over various load current levels, where switches differ in their size, such that the most efficient switch can be used at a particular load current level.
