摘要: An anti-fuse having two electrical connections is constructed by adding at least one zener diode and resistor to a power MOSFET. When the voltage across the two electrical connections exceeds the zener diode voltage and the maximum gate voltage of the MOSFET, the MOSFET burns out. This shorts out the device which can be used to bypass an LED or other load when that load burns out and forms an open circuit.

摘要: This application relates to a charging protection circuit. The charging protection circuit implements overcurrent protection by using a four-terminal NMOS switching transistor. In the solution provided in this application, floating management is performed on a Sub port of the four-terminal NMOS switching transistor. Specifically, when the four-terminal NMOS switching transistor is turned on, potential of the Sub port is pulled up, to avoid an excessively large internal resistance of the four-terminal NMOS switching transistor caused by an excessively large voltage between the Sub port and a drain of the four-terminal NMOS switching transistor. In addition, this application further provides a charging circuit and an electronic device.

摘要: An IC, e.g., a bare die, includes an array of bit-slice tiles. Each bit-slice tile has a ground circuit, a supply circuit, an ESD protection circuit, and a bit-transmit circuit and/or bit-receive circuit for a communication protocol, such as UCIe and/or BoW. Bondpads, using an interconnect layer that can be at or near the top of the metal stack, are placed over one or more bit-slice tiles, and can connect with one or more of the circuits in these one or more of the bit-slice tiles.
To configure the IC, one selects a communication protocol, bump pitch, and number of data bits. Based on the bump pitch, the number of bit-slice tiles per data bits is determined, and tiles are grouped for each bondpad to be used. In each group, the bondpad is created in a top interconnect layer, and connected with a circuit in a bit-slice in the group.-
