Power Conservation System And Method

View page
US Patent:
7184798, Feb 27, 2007
Filed:
Oct 3, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/264216
Inventors:
Gary A. Brown - Fremont CA, US
Neal Lane Horovitz - Los Altos CA, US
Assignee:
National Semiconductor Corporation - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
H04B 1/38
H04M 1/00
US Classification:
455574, 4553455, 455344, 4553431, 4553432, 4551275, 4551803, 327156, 327143, 327108, 713322, 713324, 713501, 331 74, 331 96, 331 57, 331158
Abstract:
A power management circuit is arranged to apply power to and remove power from its own oscillator to conserve power. A power-on reset circuit provides a power-on-reset signal to a state machine. The state machine contains states that are programmed with information that is used to power up or down various subsystems within a device that includes the power management systems, including the oscillator of the state machine. The state machine assumes a known state and applies power to the oscillator in response to the power-on-reset signal. The state machine changes states in response to system events (e. g. , a keypress). The state machine also maintains power to the oscillator during the period of time and which the state machine requires clock signal from the oscillator. The state machine can power down the oscillator to conserve power when the state machine does not require a clock signal from the oscillator.

Battery Charger That Employs Current Sharing To Simultaneously Power An Application And Charge A Battery

US Patent:
7535195, May 19, 2009
Filed:
Aug 25, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/212171
Inventors:
Neal Lane Horovitz - Los Altos CA, US
Luan Vu - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
National Semiconductor Corporation - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
H01M 6/50
US Classification:
320106, 320141, 320145
Abstract:
Circuitry for powering a load and charging of a battery from a power source by a smart power supply is provided. The smart power supply controls the maximum current for battery charging based in part upon variables such as the maximum rate of charge of the battery and maximum source current. The smart power supply is thus capable of providing the power requested by the load, and use the remaining power for battery charging.

Brownout And Power-Up Reset Signal Generator

View page
US Patent:
51592177, Oct 27, 1992
Filed:
Jul 29, 1991
Appl. No.:
7/737160
Inventors:
Gordon L. Mortensen - San Jose CA
Neal L. Horovitz - Sunnyvale CA
Assignee:
National Semiconductor Corporation - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
H03K 513
H03K 301
H03K 1700
H02H 324
US Classification:
307597
Abstract:
A brownout reset generator includes a presettable counter and a reset controller consisting of a plurality of logic gates coupled to receive a brownout signal representing a power brownout condition or power assertion (i. e. power-up) and a clock signal, and to generate a brownout reset in response to and of selectively longer duration than the brownout signal. Following the leading edge of the brownout signal (i. e. initiation of the brownout condition), the counter is preset to a selected value and remains preset for the duration of the brownout signal. Following the trailing edge of the brownout signal (i. e. termination of the brownout condition), the counter begins counting clock pulses. The counter outputs a timing pulse after a selected number of clock pulses representing a predetermined time interval have been counted. The reset generator provides a brownout reset having a leading edge following and corresponding to the leading edge of the brownout signal and a trailing edge following and corresponding to the leading edge of the timing pulse.

Configurable Charge Controller

US Patent:
20180129234, May 10, 2018
Filed:
Sep 13, 2017
Appl. No.:
15/703825
Inventors:
- San Diego CA, US
Christian Sporck - Campbell CA, US
Chunping Song - Sunnyvale CA, US
David Wong - Santa Clara CA, US
Rashed Hoque - Chandler AZ, US
Neal Horovitz - Los Altos CA, US
Hector Ivan Oporta - San Jose CA, US
Daryl Bergstrom - Chandler AZ, US
International Classification:
G05F 1/575
H02M 3/156
H02M 3/158
H02M 1/42
H02M 3/335
Abstract:
A configurable charge converter may include an adaptive low-dropout regulator. The adaptive low-dropout regulator may include a headroom detection circuit and a power supply controller. The headroom detection circuit may monitor a voltage drop across a field effect transistor (FET) and cause a programmable power supply to increase or decrease an output voltage accordingly. In some aspects, the configurable charge converter may include an adaptive low-dropout regulator and a buck/boost converter. The output power of the configurable charge controller may be provided by the adaptive low-dropout regulator, the buck/boost converter, or by both the adaptive low-dropout regulator and the buck/boost converter operating in combination.
