    Abstract: A wireless battery charging system includes a trickle power device (e.g., FET) that generates a trickle charging current for charging a battery and a trickle charging regulator that controls the trickle power device. A fast charging device generates a fast charging current for charging the battery, where the fast charging current is greater than the trickle charging current. A fast charging regulator controls the fast charging device. A digital control module generates a trickle charging codeword to control the trickle charging regulator and a fast charging codeword to control the fast charging regulator. Each charging regulator has a programmable current mirror that generates a mirrored current signal based on a codeword from the digital control module. The digital control module instructs the charging regulators to control the power devices to operate in a trickle charging mode, a fast charging mode, and transitions between those modes.

    Abstract: A low drop-out voltage regulator (LDO) includes an LDO unit, a switch circuit, a charge pump, and an initiation circuit. The switch circuit is coupled to a voltage input terminal and outputs a selected input voltage. The LDO unit receives the selected input voltage from the switch circuit and generates a regulated output voltage. The charge pump is coupled to the LDO unit to receive the regulated output voltage, and generate a control signal that is provided to the switch circuit. The initiation circuit receives the input voltage and generates an initiation voltage that greater than the regulated output voltage. The initiation voltage is provided to the charge pump circuit, along with the regulated output voltage. The initiation voltage drives the charge pump circuit when the regulated output voltage is not large enough to drive the charge pump circuit.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to circuitry to control a gate voltage. As may be implemented in accordance with one or more embodiments, a voltage level is controlled for a field effect transistor (FET) having a floating gate and a target operating voltage above which the FET would be overcharged and around which the FET has a nominal operating range. Pulse circuitry is configured to apply energy to the floating gate in pulses, in operation the applied energy being pulsed low relative to the gate's target operating voltage, and then being changed by adjusting successive pulses until the gate reaches the target operating voltage. A feedback circuit samples a voltage level of, and enables the pulse circuitry to apply pulsed energy to, the floating gate for directing operation of the FET based on the target operating voltage in the nominal operating range.

    Abstract: A surge protection circuit includes a DC trigger circuit that generates a trigger signal when a surge pulse occurs, and a surge protection device, coupled to the DC trigger circuit, that generates a clamp voltage as an output voltage of the surge protection circuit and conducts surge currents to ground in response to the trigger signal. A feedback circuit is provided between the surge protection device and the DC trigger circuit. The feedback circuit lowers the clamp voltage so that it does not exceed a failure voltage of the surge protection device.

    Abstract: A synchronous rectifier converts an AC input into a DC output. The synchronous rectifier has four switches controlled by four switch control modules. Each switch is connected between a different AC component and either the DC output or ground. Each switch control module has digitally assisted “switch on” circuitry that detects “on” bounces in the corresponding AC component to control when to turn on the corresponding switch and digitally assisted “switch off” circuitry that detects “off” bounces in the AC component to control when to turn off the corresponding switch. The “switch on” circuitry has a digitally assisted comparator to detect threshold crossings in the AC component, and the “switch off” circuitry has a digitally assisted programmable delay cell to turn off the switch for a predetermined duration following each detected threshold crossing.
