摘要:
A class-D audio amplifier is protected by thermal regulation which decreases the gain of the class-D audio amplifier by asserting an over-temperature signal when the temperature of the class-D audio amplifier is detected to be higher than a threshold. The output of the class-D audio amplifier is therefore reduced by the smaller gain, and the chance for the class-D audio amplifier to stop working due to overheating is greatly reduced.

A direct current voltage boosting/bucking device includes a direct current voltage boosting circuit and a low drop-out (LDO) linear voltage converting circuit. The direct current voltage boosting circuit boosts an input voltage so as to generate an output voltage higher than the input voltage. The LDO linear voltage converting circuit converts the output voltage into a load voltage that is to be provided to a load, and controls the direct current voltage boosting circuit in accordance with a feedback signal from the load such that the output voltage and the load voltage have a minimum drop-out voltage differential therebetween and such that current flow through the load is maintained at a determined level.

A power safety system includes a first MOS, a second MOS, a switch and a body controller. The first MOS is connected between a power input and a power output. The second MOSFET is connected between the power output and a charging output. The switch has an end connected to the body of the first MOS, and the opposite end switched between the source and the drain of the first MOS. A body controller controls the switch according to the voltage at the power input and the voltage at the power output, to connect the body of the first MOS to the source or the drain of the first MOS. By switching the switch, the first MOS will have a parasitic diode effective to prevent a reverse current from the power output to the power input.

A LED driving topology includes a LED array and a current source connected in series between two power inputs receiving a positive voltage and a negative voltage respectively. This topology increases the voltage difference across the LED array and hence has the capability of lighting up more serially connected LEDs, without requiring an additional boost circuit or a high voltage. In addition, the circuit of the current source can be made by a low-voltage manufacturing process.
