    摘要: A multiphase converter provides an output voltage to a load. The multiphase converter receives a load event signal from the load and turns ON at a same time the phases of the multiphase converter to increase the output voltage in response to the load event signal indicating that a load current drawn by the load from the multiphase converter is about to increase. The multiphase converter increases an impedance of low-side switches of the multiphase converter in response to the load event signal indicating that the load current is about to decrease.

    摘要: A power management integrated circuit (PMIC) chip provides power loss protection to an application device. The PMIC chip has several storage pins that each receives a set of storage capacitors that are charged using power from a power source during normal operation. An application device receives power from the power source during normal operation and receives power from an operational set of storage capacitors during power loss. A failing set of storage capacitors is disconnected from an operational set of storage capacitors and from the PMIC chip. The operational set of storage capacitors remains connected to the PMIC chip to provide power loss protection.

    摘要: A power module has a substrate, a magnetic component disposed on the substrate, a plurality of power integrated circuits (ICs), and a heat spreader. The heat spreader and at least a part of the plurality of power ICs are disposed on a top surface of the substrate. The heat spreader is fixed on the substrate through a structural adhesive, covering top surfaces of the part of the plurality of power ICs on the top surface of the substrate, and is in contact with the top surfaces of the part of the plurality of power ICs on the top surface of the substrate through a thermal conductive adhesive. A difference between a height measured from a topmost surface of the magnetic component to the top surface of the substrate and a height measured from a topmost surface of the heat spreader to the top surface of the substrate is within 300 um.

    摘要: An integrated circuit of a buck-boost converter working in a buck mode with a buck power switching cycle, a boost mode with a boost power switching cycle or a buck-boost mode with a buck-boost power switching cycle. The integrated circuit integrates a first power switch, a second power switch, a third power switch and a fourth power switch, and an output current sensing circuit. The buck-boost power switching cycle consists of a first buck-boost phase, a second buck-boost phase and a third buck-boost phase. The output current sensing circuit samples the current flowing through the first power switch during the second buck-boost phase and the current flowing through the fourth power switch during the third buck-boost phase so as to generate the output current information.
