    Abstract: A switching mode power supply that supplies power to a load. The circuitry of the power supply of this disclosure may be configured to operate with a constant switching frequency over a range of input voltages and a range of load power demand. The circuitry of this disclosure may modulate a minimum on-time (Ton-min) for a duty cycle for an operating frequency of the circuit based on the magnitude of the input voltage. The circuitry may also operate in continuous conduction mode (CCM) or in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) based on an operating region. The operating region is based on a combination of the demand from the load (Iout) and the input voltage (Vin). The circuitry of this disclosure may enter an operating region based on a first combination but exit the operating region under a second and different combination of Iout and Vin.

    Abstract: A power semiconductor device includes: a semiconductor body having a first surface and a mesa portion that includes a surface part of the first surface and a body region; at least two trenches extending from the first surface into the semiconductor body along a vertical direction, each trench including a trench electrode and trench insulator insulating the trench electrode from the semiconductor body, the mesa portion being laterally confined by the trenches in a first vertical cross-section along a first lateral direction; and a contact plug in contact with the body region. The contact plug and trench electrode of a first trench laterally overlap at least partially in the first vertical cross-section. A protection structure having a portion arranged within the first trench is arranged between the contact plug and trench electrode of the first trench. The protection structure may be an electrically insulation structure or a protective device structure.
