摘要： An electronic reference-signal generation system includes a supply invariant bandgap reference system that generates one or more bandgap reference signals that are substantially unaffected by bulk error currents. In at least one embodiment, the bandgap reference generates a substantially invariant bandgap reference signals for a range of direct current (DC) supply voltages. Additionally, in at least one embodiment, the bandgap reference system provides substantially invariant bandgap reference signals when the supply voltage varies due to alternating current (AC) voltages. In at least one embodiment, the bandgap reference system generates a bandgap reference voltage VBG, a “proportional to absolute temperature” (PTAT) current (“iPTAT”) and a “zero dependency on absolute temperature” (ZTAT) current (“iZTAT”) that are substantially unaffected by variations in the supply voltage and unaffected by a bulk error current.

摘要： An apparatus and method is provided for dividing a voltage with a resistor voltage divider and for employing the voltage divider in an integrated circuit. The resistor voltage divider utilizes inaccessible compensation taps that are placed between nonlinearly spaced output taps. The compensation taps reduce the impact of tap resistance on the voltage divider transfer function. The number of inaccessible compensation taps placed between output taps is dependant upon a chosen tap density that is substantially maintained across the body of the resistor voltage divider. The resistor may be used in integrated circuits employing amplifiers, such as volume control circuitry.

摘要： An integrated circuit apparatus and method is provided for utilizing voltage dividers and differential amplifiers. An apparatus and method for dividing a voltage with a resistor voltage divider and for employing the voltage divider in an integrated circuit. The resistor voltage divider utilizes inaccessible compensation taps that are placed between nonlinearly spaced output taps. The compensation taps reduce the impact of tap resistance on the voltage divider transfer function. The number of inaccessible compensation taps placed between output taps is dependant upon a chosen tap density that is substantially maintained across the body of the resistor voltage divider. The resistor may be used in integrated circuits employing amplifiers, such as volume control circuitry. A differential amplifier is provided with an input common mode feedback loop that compensates for signal distortion due to a common mode signal. The effects that mode changes in the input transistors have on the differential gain are minimized by the input common mode feedback loop. The differential signal path has only one low frequency mode. The amplifier includes circuitry that acts on the input differential signal and circuitry that acts on the varying input common mode voltage. The common mode feedback is achieved using a variable current sink transistor. The gate voltage of the variable current sink transistor is controlled by the sum of currents flowing through transistors that are connected to the drains of the differential input transistors.

摘要： Hall-effect position sensor apparatus is disclosed which senses the position of a moving body and provides an output signal indicative of the position of the moving body. The apparatus includes a predetermined number of Hall-effect sensors which are positioned in a straight line and in operating proximity to a moving body made of a ferromagnetic material. A permanent magnet is operatively positioned such that the Hall-effect sensors lie in the magnetic field produced by the magnet while the moving body provides a portion of the path comprising the magnetic excitation circuit with the permanent magnet. The moving body includes portions devoid of ferromagnetic material, which causes a change in the magnetic field. The Hall-effect sensors sense the absolute value of the magnetic field and because of their particular physical alignment and separation, together with the unique interconnection of their individual electrical outputs, provide signals to amplifier devices which represent the second time derivatives of the magnetic field sensed by the Hall-effect sensors. The electrical outputs of the amplifier devices are provided to a Schmitt trigger comparator which performs the analog to digital conversion of the input signals and provides a digital logic output signal which provides a reference point with respect to the location on the moving body, of the void which causes the change in the magnetic field.

摘要： A auxiliary power supply having a selectable operating mode raises efficiency of a switched-power converter. By selectably controlling the input/output behavior of the auxiliary power supply receiving a voltage from an auxiliary winding of one of the power converter magnetic elements, more efficient operation of the auxiliary power supply over the full variation range of the input line voltage is achieved. By selecting the operating mode according to the relationship between the required auxiliary power supply output and the voltage available across the auxiliary winding under current operating conditions, the turns ratio of the auxiliary winding and other circuit parameters can be optimized for efficiency. Selection of the operating mode may be made by detecting the output or input voltage of the multiplier, and the selection may be performed under hysteretic control so that the variation in auxiliary power supply output voltage is reduced dynamically.

摘要： A temperature and process-stable magnetic field sensor bias current source provides improved performance in Hall effect sensor circuits. A switched-capacitor sensing element is used to sense either a reference current or the bias current directly. A current mirror may be used to generate the bias current from the reference current, and may include multiple current source transistors coupled through corresponding control transistors that are switched using a barrel shifter to reduce variations in the bias current due to process variation. The current mirror control may be provided via a chopper amplifier to reduce flicker noise and the current mirror control voltage may be held using a track/hold circuit during transitions of the chopper amplifier to further reduce noise due to the chopping action.

The outputs of the amplifiers are combined in a combiner circuit, which may be a discrete-time chopping amplifier that receives charges from a plurality of capacitors that sample each enabled amplifier output.
