13 results about "Undervoltage-lockout" patented technology

The Undervoltage-Lockout or UVLO is an electronic circuit used to turn off the power of an electronic device in the event of the voltage dropping below the operational value. For instance, in embedded devices, UVLOs can be used to monitor the battery charge or turn off the circuit if the battery voltage drops below a specific threshold, thus protecting the associated equipment. Some variants may also have an upper threshold. Undervoltage lockout is an integral part of many electronic devices. For instance, it is widely used in many Electrical ballast circuits to switch them off in the event of voltage falling below the operational value.

Undervoltage lockout circuit

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an under-voltage lockout circuit, which comprises a voltage sampling circuit, a comparison circuit, and a hysteresis control circuit. The voltage sampling circuit samples a voltage under test and provides a sampled voltage to the comparison circuit via a first node. The sampled voltage is obtained by dividing the voltage under test with at least two transistors. The comparison circuit compares the sampled voltage with a reference voltage from a reference voltage terminal and generates an under-voltage lockout indication signal based on the comparison result. An active level of the under-voltage lockout indication signal is used to indicate that a circuit using the voltage under test enters an under-voltage lockout state. The hysteresis control circuit causes the under-voltage lockout indication signal to flip from an inactive level to the active level when the voltage under test rises to a first preset voltage value, and causes the under-voltage lockout indication signal to flip from the active level to the inactive level when the voltage under test falls from the first preset voltage value to a second preset voltage value. The first preset voltage value is higher than the second preset voltage value.

Battery balancing for multi-battery systems

A closed loop control system actively regulates the battery current paths of physically separated circuits so that the current is approximately the same for each of the circuits regardless of the various system loads. The closed loop control system modulates the current paths by either modulating a high side transistor used to independently limit each battery's current path or by modulating a DC / DC converter's output voltage to independently boost each battery's current path. The closed loop control system is also designed to handle undervoltage lockout (UVLO) situations when one of the batteries is nearing empty to tilt the power balance in the chance that there is an existing battery charge mismatch to support system load bursts and to turn off the circuit when the system current draw is exceptionally low. A tilting circuit also identifies and discharges the battery with the higher charge until the charge states are substantially equal.

A low-voltage undervoltage lockout circuit and method with zero temperature coefficient

A zero-temperature-coefficient low-voltage undervoltage lockout circuit is characterized by comprising a voltage divider unit, a comparator unit, a feedback unit, and an output unit. The voltage divider unit generates a voltage divider of the input voltage. The comparator unit, connected to both the voltage divider unit and the output unit, generates a reference voltage based on the voltage divider and outputs the reference voltage to the output unit. The feedback unit feeds back the positive temperature coefficient current generated by the comparator unit to the voltage divider unit to counteract the negative temperature coefficient of the transistor voltage in the comparator unit. The output unit determines an output undervoltage lockout signal based on the zero-temperature-coefficient reference voltage. This invention is simple, requires few components, and significantly reduces the input voltage amplitude requirements of the undervoltage lockout circuit, allowing the undervoltage lockout signal to flip at a relatively small reference voltage, thus achieving undervoltage protection.
