| 20080197827 | Reverse Current Comparator Circuit and Method for Switching Regulators - A reverse current comparator for use in switching regulators includes a differential stage configured to encode the difference in voltage between an N and a P input. The differential stage feeds one or more gain stages. At least one of the gain stages includes one or more hysteresis devices. When the voltage of the N input exceeds the voltage of the P input by a predetermined margin, the hysteresis device causes the regulator to enter a triggered state in which it outputs a non-zero output voltage. Subsequent changes to the N and P inputs do not change the regulator output until a RESET input is asserted and which point the regulator enters a reset state and is ready to be triggered. | 08-21-2008 |
| 20080253152 | Method for Reducing Body Diode Conduction in NMOS Synchronous Rectifiers - A switching regulator that practices the current invention includes a high-side switch M1 connected between an input voltage and a node L | 10-16-2008 |
| 20090206808 | Method for Generating an Internal Compensation Network of a Pole and Two Zeros to Compensate High Frequency Voltage Mode Switching Regulators - A method for controlling a switching voltage regulator that includes generating a feedback voltage that is proportional to the output voltage of the voltage regulator; generating a voltage proportional to the duty-cycle of the inductor charging and discharging phases as a function of the difference between the feedback voltage and a reference voltage; and adding a dominate pole and two zeros to the function used to generate the voltage proportional to the duty-cycle of the inductor charging and discharging phases. | 08-20-2009 |
