Slew rate detection in power converter with digital current mode control
A power converter with slew rate detection is disclosed. A power converter comprises a plurality of phase circuits coupled to a regulated power supply line via corresponding ones of a plurality of inductors. A first control loop generates, using digital samples and based on comparisons of a reference voltage to a voltage on the regulated power supply line, a first plurality of control signals. A second control loop, using the digital samples, generates a second plurality of control signals based on a rate of change of the voltage of the regulated power supply line. The second control loop causes the first control loop to control the plurality of phase circuits in response to detecting that the rate of change is within a specified range, and causes the second control loop to control the plurality of phase circuits, in response to detecting that the rate of change exceeds the specified range.

A neuromorphic computing device includes a first memory cell array comprising a plurality of resistive memory cells and configured to output a plurality of read currents through a plurality of bit lines or source lines; a second memory cell array comprising a plurality of reference resistive memory cells and configured to output at least one reference current through at least one reference bit line or at least one reference source line; a current-voltage converting circuit configured to output a plurality of signal voltages respectively corresponding to the plurality of read currents and output at least one reference voltage corresponding to the at least one reference current; and an analog-digital converting circuit configured to convert the plurality of signal voltages to a plurality of digital signals using the at least one reference voltage and output the plurality of digital signals.
Electrical circuit of signal conditioning and measurement device
An electrical circuit for conditioning an analog electrical input signal into an analog electrical output signal includes a threshold circuit. The threshold circuit is configured to set a value of a conditioning parameter, under control of the analog electrical input signal and based on an electrical threshold. The threshold circuit is configured to set the conditioning parameter to, in response to the analog electrical input signal being below the electrical threshold, a first value. The threshold circuit is configured to set the conditioning parameter to, in response to the analog electrical input signal exceeding the electrical threshold, a second value different from the first value.
