摘要： A switching regulator includes a controller and a power stage for coupling to a load through an inductor and a capacitor. The a controller is operable to control operation of the power stage via a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal generated based on a difference between a reference voltage and the load voltage and sample the inductor current at a lower rate than the load voltage. The controller is further operable to estimate the capacitor current based on the sampled load voltage, generate an offset to the reference voltage based on the sampled inductor current and the estimated capacitor current and adjust the PWM signal applied to the power stage based on the offset. The switching regulator can be single-phase or multi-phase.

摘要： A cross-point switch fabric slice (100) includes multistage gated buffer tree (135) incorporating at least first and second serially connected gated buffer stages (136, 138). N inputs (102-116) connect to preselected gated buffers (146-160) in the first gated buffer stage (136). The multistage gated buffer tree provides a signal path from any of the N inputs (102-116) to at least one switch output (118) in response to gated buffer stage control signals for the first gated buffer stage (136) and gated buffer stage control signals for the second gated buffer stage (138). Generally, the number of gated buffers decreases from that of the previous stage. As an input signal propagates through the cross-point switch fabric slice (100), longer internal connections are driven by more capable buffers.

摘要： Disclosed is a power regulator for providing precisely regulated power to a microelectronic device such as a microprocessor. Improved power regulation is accomplished by optimizing the power efficiency of the power regulator. In particular, in a multiphase system, the number of active phases is increased or decreased to achieve optimum power efficiency. The multiphase voltage regulator adapts the operating mode to maximize efficiency as the load current demand of the load device changes by adjusting the number of active phases to maximize efficiency. The total value of current provided by the regulator and the total number of active phases is determined, the total number of active phases is compared with the number of active phases required to provide the total value of current at maximum efficiency; and the number of active phases is adjusted to provide the total value of current at maximum efficiency. A current sense circuit senses the current at each phase, a summing circuit coupled to the output of the current sense circuit provides the total current value of all the measured phases, a circuit coupled to the output of the summing circuit provides the time averaged total current value to a threshold detecting circuit that determines the number of phases at which the voltage regulator should be operating for maximum efficiency, and a circuit for comparing the number of phases that are operating to the number of phases at which the voltage regulator should be operating adjusts the number of active phases to the number of phases at which the voltage regulator should be operating for maximum efficiency.

摘要： A dual loop regulator is configured for improved regulation of a supply voltage for a dynamic load based on the magnitude of changes in the load voltage. An exemplary dual loop regulator comprises a primary voltage regulator configured within a linear loop and a secondary voltage regulator configured within a wideband, non-linear loop. The primary voltage regulator is configured for providing a well-controlled, regulated output voltage to the dynamic load, and for addressing small changes in the output voltage. The secondary voltage regulator is configured for sensing undervoltage and overvoltage conditions at the dynamic load, and for addressing changes greater than a predetermined threshold voltage. To facilitate loop stability, secondary voltage regulator can be configured within the wideband, non-linear loop to have a small gain for small changes, a larger gain for large changes, and/or a substantially finite storage capability such that any large signal oscillations will not be sustained.

摘要： A method and circuit for pre-emphasis equalization of a high speed data communication system can be provided through the use of programmable pulse shaping. A data communication system configured with the pre-emphasis equalization circuit operates by receiving an input data stream and outputting a data stream for transmission through an interconnect or other transmission channel. The data can be passed through an output buffer configured with programmable pre-emphasis equalization, having input inverters at an input stage and output inverters at an output stage. During operation, once an input signal to the input stage transitions, for example from a low to a high state, an input signal to the output stage is configured to a full amplitude to drive the transmission channel. Once the output stage transitions to a full amplitude, the input of the output stage is configured closer to a mid-scale amplitude. The amount of amplitude change from full scale back to mid-scale determines the amount of equalization to be provided by the output buffer to the transmission channel.
