The present disclosure provides a battery detection device. The detection circuit is disposed on the battery and produces an impedance value variation quantity according to a deformation of the battery. The detection circuit includes four connection nodes. The first connection node and the third connection node are connected with the battery. A voltage variation quantity is produced between the second connection node and the fourth connection node according to the impedance value variation quantity. The protection circuit is connected with the second connection node and the fourth connection node. The protection circuit is in an ON state when the voltage variation quantity is greater than or equal to a cut-off voltage. The protection circuit is in an OFF state when the voltage variation quantity is less than the cut-off voltage, so that an operation state of the battery is changed accordingly.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to apparatus and methods for dynamically adjusting the common-mode input signal of a power amplifier, such as a class-D power amplifier. One example power amplifier circuit generally includes a first amplifier having a signal input and a power input; and a common-mode adjustment circuit having a first input coupled to the power input of the first amplifier, having an output coupled to the signal input of the first amplifier, and being configured to generate a common-mode signal to apply to the signal input of the first amplifier, based on a power supply voltage on the power input of the first amplifier.

A current detection circuit includes normally-on-type and a first normally-off-type switching elements with main current paths that are connected in series, and a second normally-off-type switching element that has a source and a gate that are connected to a source and a gate of the first normally-off-type switching element and a drain that is connected to a constant current source, and executes a division process by using drain voltages of the two normally-off-type switching elements.

For example, a semiconductor device includes one or more first subcontacts electrically conducted to a substrate. At least one of the one or more first subcontacts is formed in an element arrangement region, and has a lower impedance than the substrate. Preferably, at least one of the one or more first subcontacts is adjacent to a circuit element formed in the element arrangement region. Preferably, on the substrate, which is of a first conductivity type, an epilayer of a second conductivity type is formed, and the one or more first subcontacts include a first line having a lower impedance than the substrate, and a semiconductor region of the first conductivity type penetrating through the epilayer to electrically conduct the first line and the substrate to each other.

A transient boost controller for controlling a transient boost circuit of a voltage regulator includes a feedback circuit and a processing circuit. The feedback circuit obtains a first feedback signal and a second feedback signal sensed from an output capacitor of the voltage regulator, wherein the first feedback signal is derived from a voltage signal at a first plate of the output capacitor, and the second feedback signal is derived from a voltage signal at a second plate of the output capacitor. The processing circuit generates a detection result according to the first feedback signal and the second feedback signal, and outputs the detection result for controlling the transient boost circuit of the voltage regulator.

A package for a current sense circuit may include a lead-frame having a shunt resistance configured to generate a shunt voltage, which can be used to measure a current through the lead-frame. The shunt resistance associated with the lead-frame may be highly variable with temperature, which can cause errors in the current measurement. Accordingly, a current sense circuit can include an amplifier with an input resistor having a composite temperature coefficient configured to match a lead-frame temperature coefficient so that an output of the amplifier is compensated to remove variations in the shunt resistance of the lead-frame due to temperature.

The present invention provides a circuitry applied to multiple power domains. An amplifier of the circuitry includes an output stage and a switching circuit. The output stage includes a first transistor and a second transistor, wherein the first transistor is coupled between a supply voltage and an output terminal, the second transistor is coupled between the output terminal and a ground voltage. The switching circuit is configured to choose a body of the first transistor from the supply voltage or a reference voltage.

A virtual resistive load feedback circuit for driving a piezoelectric actuator is provided that accounts for a hysteresis error and drift within the movement of the actuator. The circuit may include a voltage divider and charge divider. A voltage monitor signal corresponding to a voltage of a driver signal and a current monitor signal corresponding to a current provided to the amplifier are combined by an operational amplifier and include electrical characteristics of the actuator such that the circuit approximates a virtual load across the actuator. A feedback portion of the operational amplifier may include a resistor and capacitor connected in parallel to provide the voltage and charge divide functions. The use of the virtual resistive circuit allows for the piezoelectric actuator to be ground referenced, with no external components connected directly to the actuator while gaining the feedback effect to counter the hysteresis and drifts errors of the actuator.

Methods, systems, and devices for delay adjustment circuits are described. Amplifiers (e.g., differential amplifiers) may act like variable capacitors (e.g., due to the Miller-effect) to control delays of signals between buffer (e.g., re-driver) stages. The gains of the amplifiers may be adjusted by adjusting the currents through the amplifiers, which may change the apparent capacitances seen by the signal line (due to the Miller-effect). The capacitance of each amplifier may be the intrinsic capacitance of input transistors that make up the amplifier, or may be a discrete capacitor. In some examples, two differential stages may be inserted on a four-phase clocking system (e.g., one on 0 and 180 phases, the other on 90 and 270 phases), and may be controlled differentially to control phase-to-phase delay.
