| 20120242308 | PROTECTION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DC-DC CONVERTERS EXPOSED TO A STRONG MAGNETIC FIELD - A protection system and method for protecting a direct current to direct current voltage converter (DC-DC converter) from a potentially damaging excessive output current due to exposure to a relatively strong magnetic field is disclosed. The system includes a detector circuit configured to monitor a signal characteristic of the DC-DC converter, and a linear regulator having an output coupled to the load output of the DC-DC converter. The system further includes a control system configured to disable a load output of the DC-DC converter and enable the output of the linear regulator when the detector detects that the signal characteristic has moved outside a predetermined threshold range. Moreover, the control system is further configured to disable the output of the linear regulator after a predetermined time period, and enable the load output of the DC-DC converter after the predetermined time period. | 09-27-2012 |
| 20140152284 | REGULATED SWITCHING CONVERTER - A regulated switching converter having improved closed loop settling time is disclosed. An error amplifier having a voltage reference input, a feedback input, and an error output is included. An output filter having a voltage output terminal coupled to the feedback input provides an output voltage sample to the error amplifier. A compensation network coupled between the feedback input and the error output of the error amplifier includes at least one capacitor and at least one switch that is communicatively coupled across the at least one capacitor. A controller is adapted to monitor current flowing through the switching output terminal. The controller has at least one switch control output coupled to a control input of the at least one switch to allow the controller to momentarily close the at least one switch to substantially discharge the at least one capacitor when a predetermined high current state is reached. | 06-05-2014 |
| 20140152285 | AVERAGE LOAD CURRENT DETECTOR FOR A MULTI-MODE SWITCHING CONVERTER - An average load current detector for a multi-mode switching converter is disclosed. The average load current detector includes a sense voltage generator that generates an average sense voltage that is proportional to an average load current delivered by the multi-mode switching converter. Also included is a duty voltage generator that generates an average duty voltage that is proportional to a duty cycle of a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal that controls switching of the multi-mode switching converter. Further included is a comparator adapted to output a detector signal that indicates an operational mode for the multi-mode switching converter to operate in for predetermined load current ranges. A controller receives the detector signal and in response maintains an efficient energy transfer from one supply voltage level to another by transitioning the multi-mode switching converter from the PWM mode to a pulse frequency modulation (PFM) mode or vice versa if necessary. | 06-05-2014 |
| 20150048891 | EXPANDED RANGE DC-DC CONVERTER - A DC-DC converter, which provides a converter output voltage using a DC source voltage, is disclosed. The DC-DC converter includes converter control circuitry and a boosting charge pump. The converter control circuitry selects one of a first boost operating mode, a second boost operating mode, and a boost disabled mode based on the DC source voltage. During the boost disabled mode, the boosting charge pump presents a high impedance at a charge pump output of the boosting charge pump. Otherwise, the boosting charge pump provides a charge pump output voltage. During the first boost operating mode, a nominal value of the charge pump output voltage is equal to about one and one-half times the DC source voltage. During the second boost operating mode, a nominal value of the charge pump output voltage is equal to about two times the DC source voltage. | 02-19-2015 |

The compositions useful in the present disclosure include a décor product formulated to be applied and affixed to a surface. If desired, the décor product may be substantially removed from the surface before being affixed thereto. If a user desires to remove the décor product, the décor product may be removed by, for example, vacuuming, wet extraction, chemical application, and the like. If the user desires to affix the décor product to the surface in a permanent or semi-permanent manner, the décor product may be affixed by applying energy thereto in the form of, for example, heat, pressure, emitted waves, an emitted electrical field, a magnetic field, and/or a chemical. The décor product may also be part of a kit or in conjunction with a design device, such as a stencil, to control the application of the décor product to a surface. | 09-29-2011 |
