    Abstract: An oscillation detector includes an amplitude variation detection circuit configured to generate a first pulse signal by comparing levels of voltages with each other, a frequency variation detection circuit configured to generate a second pulse signal by filtering the first pulse signal and allowing to pass a frequency component that is less than or equal to a certain frequency among frequency components of the first pulse signal, and a time variation detection circuit configured to output an oscillation detection signal when the second pulse signal has consecutive pulses for a period of time.

    Abstract: A direct-current (DC)-DC converter includes a converting circuit including an inductor element. The converting circuit is configured to generate an output voltage from an input voltage based on a switching operation. An inductor current emulator is configured to adjust at least one parameter for changing a current peak value of the inductor element in response to a change in a level of the input voltage and is configured to generate an internal voltage based on the at least one parameter, which is adjusted. The inductor current emulator is configured to generate a control signal for controlling the switching operation such that current of the inductor element has a pattern corresponding to a pattern of the internal voltage.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device including a bandgap reference generator that generates a reference voltage; a switch control voltage generator that generates a first reference current based on the reference voltage, and generates an adaptive switch level voltage by distributing the first reference current to a first path and a second path, the first path including a first resistor, and the second path including a second resistor and a first bipolar junction transistor connected in series; and a switch controller that generates a switch control signal for controlling switches included in the bandgap reference generator based on the adaptive switch level voltage. The adaptive switch level voltage has a slope with respect to temperature that is greater than a base-emitter voltage of the first bipolar junction transistor.
