The impedance circuit generates an output voltage and a sensing current according to a conductive state of the upper-bridge switch and the lower-bridge switch. The first control circuit generates a first pulse signal according to the output voltage. The second control circuit has a first mode and a second mode for generating a second pulse signal and a third pulse signal individually. Furthermore, the second control circuit uses different threshold values in different modes to determine whether to switch the mode thereof, so as to form a hysteretic effect in mode switching.

摘要： A switching circuit uses multiple common-drain JFETs to serve as the low-side switches of the switching circuit, and each of the low-side JFET is coupled between a high-side switch and a power node. Since a JFET can endure high voltage at both drain side and source side, and has good heat dissipation capability at drain side, the drain of the low-side JFET is coupled to the power node to enhance the heat dissipation capability and accordingly, all the low-side JFETs are allowed to be packaged in a same package to reduce the PCB layout area.
