摘要： A system and method for controlling a power converter is presented. An embodiment comprises an analog differential circuit connected to an analog-to-digital converter, and comparing the digital error signal to at least a first threshold value. If the digital error signal is less than the first threshold value, a pulse is generated to control the power converter. Another embodiment includes multiple thresholds that may be compared against the digital error signal.

摘要： A level shifter receives an input voltage signal and produces an output voltage signal. The level shifter includes a first inverter, configured to operate at a potential difference between a first voltage V1 and a second voltage V2. The output from the invert is capacitively coupled to an input of a latch circuit via a capacitor. The capacitor has a first terminal connected to the output terminal of the first inverter, and further has a second terminal. The level shifter has a resistor connected to a third voltage V3 and to the capacitor for tying the input to the latch circuit to a desired voltage. The latch circuit is configured to operate at a potential difference between a fourth voltage V4 and a fifth voltage V5. The latch has an input node connected to the resistor and the capacitor, and further has an output node connected to an output node of the level shifter.
