摘要： Methods, systems, and devices are described for providing fault monitoring for light emitting diode (LED) circuits. Embodiments receive an indication from a fault control module that a fault has occurred in a portion of an LED module (e.g., a series string of LEDs). The fault may represent an open fault or a closed fault condition. In some embodiments, a monitoring module receives the fault indication and generates a further representation that the fault has occurred (e.g., for use by external components or systems). In other embodiments, the monitoring module in configured to further indicate which in the LED module has failed, and/or in what fault condition (e.g., open or closed).

摘要： Apparatus (30) and method (70) for predicting the future performance of a semiconductor power module, power device, or high power integrated circuit for the purpose of planning its repair or replacement before it actually fails. The apparatus provides a central processor (33), output device (37), user interface (39), system memory (35), and data base (41). The method is provided by an application specific integrated circuit (45) or custom software program (45). The method provides a measurement and testing procedure for device parameters such as thermal resistance R.sub.thJC, power supply voltage V.sub.DD, and power supply current I.sub.DD. These device parameters typically characterize various chip components including the die attached interface, chip structure, and bonding wires. As these components degrade, the method via monitoring device parameters turns-off the device and its peripheral circuits and apparatus in an orderly manner.

摘要： Methods, systems, and devices are described for auxiliary power with low standby power consumption. Switching power converters typically include a switching power element (e.g., a power transistor), driven by a switching controller (e.g., including a gate driver). The power output of the switching power converter may be a function of the switching signal provided by the switching controller. For example, a pulse-width modulated (“PWM”) signal may be used to drive the switching power element, and the output of the switching controller may be adjusted by adjusting the frequency and/or duty cycle of the PWM signal. Embodiments implement cycle extension techniques to effectively extend a portion of the PWM signal to generate additional charge. The additional charge may be used to power an auxiliary power unit. The auxiliary power unit may then be used to drive the switching controller and/or to provide a source of power for other internal or external components.

摘要： Methods, systems, and devices are described for using isolated and non-isolated circuit structures and control methods for achieving multiple independently regulated input and output parameters using a single, simple, primary magnetic circuit element. For example, structures and methods are revealed for achieving single-stage power factor correction with high power factor and multiple independently regulated outputs using a single, simple, primary magnetic circuit element. Other structures and methods are revealed for achieving multiple independently regulated outputs without power factor correction using a single primary magnetic circuit element for both isolated and non-isolated power conversion applications.

摘要： Methods, systems, and devices are described for providing voltage level shifting that may operate reliably and at low power, even at high voltages and/or high switching frequencies. Embodiments receive an input signal representing input information, and effectively generate two voltage responses as a function of the input signal. Each voltage response includes exponential terms as a function of resistive and capacitive loading effects of components of the embodiments. A combined response signal is generated substantially as a superposition of the first response signal and the second response signal. A high-side driver signal is then generated as a function of the combined response signal, such that the high-side driver signal substantially preserves the input information represented by the input signal, and such that the first exponential response and the second exponential response are substantially absent from the high-side driver signal.
