Switching Regulator With Programmable Output Levels Using A Single Input Pin

View page
US Patent:
7218086, May 15, 2007
Filed:
May 1, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/381092
Inventors:
David W. Ritter - San Jose CA, US
Bruce Hennig - Pleasanton CA, US
Ralf J. Muenster - Campbell CA, US
Assignee:
Micrel, Inc. - San Jose CA
International Classification:
G05F 5/00
US Classification:
323303, 323284, 323299
Abstract:
A switching regulator provides programming output current control through a single input terminal by modifying the reference voltage in the control loop of the switching regulator. The switching regulator includes a first input terminal receiving a program input voltage indicative of a desired output current, a voltage divider receiving a first reference voltage and providing a second reference voltage at a first node between the first and second resistors and a third reference voltage at a second node between the second and third resistors, and a precision active pulldown circuit coupled to receive the program input voltage and operative to pull down the second reference voltage at the first node in response to the program input voltage. In operation, the third reference voltage is used in the control loop of the switching regulator to control the output current of the switching regulator in response to the program input voltage.

Password And Dynamic Protection Of Flash Memory Data

View page
US Patent:
6731536, May 4, 2004
Filed:
Mar 7, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/091767
Inventors:
Mark Alan McClain - San Diego CA
Michael Garrett Tanaka - San Jose CA
Ralf Muenster - Los Altos CA
Assignee:
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. - Sunnyvale CA
International Classification:
G11C 700
US Classification:
36518504, 36518529, 36518901, 365218
Abstract:
In protecting Flash memory data, a flexible system and method provides for different levels of protection. It offers the ability to dynamically lock a sector of memory using a dynamic protection bit in volatile memory. It offers persistent locking of a sector using a non-volatile bit in memory and locking this status using a lock bit in volatile memory. It offers yet further protection by including a password mode which requires a password to clear the lock bit. The password is located in an unreadable, one time programmable area of the memory. The memory also includes areas, whose protection state is controlled by an input signal, for storing boot code in a protected manner.
