Abstract: Using a wafer-level package (WLP) can reduce the overall size and cost of your solution.However when using a WLP IC, the printed circuit board (PCB) layout can become more complex and, ifnot carefully planned, result in an unreliable design. This article presents some PCB designconsiderations and general recommendations for choosing a 0.4mm- or 0.5mm-pitch WLP for yourapplication.

數字與模擬電路設計技巧IC與LSI的功能大幅提升使得高壓電路與電力電路除外，幾乎所有的電路都是由半導體組件所構成，雖然半導體組件高速、高頻化時會有EMI的困擾，不過為了充分發揮半導體組件應有的性能，電路板設計與封裝技術仍具有決定性的影響。 模擬與數字技術的融合由于IC與LSI半導體本身的高速化，同時為了使機器達到正常動作的目的，因此技術上的跨越競爭越來越激烈。雖然構成系統的電路未必有clock設計，但是毫無疑問的是系統的可靠度是建立在電子組件的選用、封裝技術、電路設計與成本，以及如何防止噪訊的產生與噪訊外漏等綜合考慮。機器小型化、高速化、多功能化使得低頻/高頻、大功率信號/小功率信號、高輸出阻抗/低輸出阻抗、大電流/小電流、模擬/數字電路，經常出現在同一個高封裝密度電路板，設計者身處如此的環境必需面對前所未有的設計思維挑戰，例如高穩定性電路與吵雜(noisy)性電路為鄰時，如果未將噪訊入侵高穩定性電路的對策視為設計重點，事后反復的設計變更往往成為無解的夢魘。模擬電路與高速數字電路混合設計也是如此，假設微小模擬信號增幅后再將full scale 5V的模擬信號，利用10bit A/D轉換器轉換成數字信號，由于分割幅寬祇有4.9mV，因此要正確讀取該電壓level并非易事，結果造成10bit以上的A/D轉換器面臨無法順利運作的窘境。另一典型實例是使用示波器量測某數字電路基板兩點相隔10cm的ground電位，理論上ground電位應該是零，然而實際上卻可觀測到4.9mV數倍甚至數十倍的脈沖噪訊(pulse noise)，如果該電位差是由模擬與數字混合電路的grand所造成的話，要測得4.9 mV的信號根本是不可能的事情，也就是說為了使模擬與數字混合電路順利動作，必需在封裝與電路設計有相對的對策，尤其是數字電路switching時，ground vance noise不會入侵analogue ground的防護對策，同時還需充分檢討各電路產生的電流回路(route)與電流大小，依此結果排除各種可能的干擾因素。以上介紹的實例都是設計模擬與數字混合電路時經常遇到的瓶頸，如果是設計12bit以上A/D轉換器時，它的困難度會更加復雜。

Abstract: Some power architectures require the power supply sequencer (or system manager) to controldownstream power MOSFETs to allow power to flow into branch circuits. This application note explains howsystem power sequencing and level shifting can be accomplished using a low-voltage system manager

Abstract: Some types of loads require more current during startup than when running. Other loads can be limited to a lower-powercurrent during startup but require a higher operating current. This article describes an application circuit that automatically adjusts apower circuit’s overcurrent protection level up or down after startup is complete.

Linear Technology offers a variety of devices that simplifyconverting power from a USB cable, but the LTC®3455represents the highest level of functional integration yet. The LTC3455 seamlessly manages power flowbetween an AC adapter, USB cable and Li-ion battery,while complying with USB power standards, all from a4mm × 4mm QFN package. In addtion, two high efficiencysynchronous buck converters generate low voltage railswhich most USB-powered peripherals require. TheLTC3455 also provides power-on reset signals for themicroprocessor, a Hot SwapTM output for poweringmemory cards as well as an uncommitted gain blocksuitable for use as a low-battery comparator or an LDOcontroller. The PCB real estate required for the entire USBpower control circuit and two DC/DC converters is only225mm2.

As the performance of many handheld devices approachesthat of laptop computers, design complexity also increases.Chief among them is thermal management—how doyou meet increasing performance demands while keepinga compact and small product cool in the user’s hand?For instance, as battery capacities inevitably increase,charge currents will also increase to maintain or improvetheir charge times. Traditional linear regulator-based batterychargers will not be able to meet the charge currentand effi ciency demands necessary to allow a product torun cool. What is needed is a switching-based chargerthat takes just about the same amount of space as a linearsolution—but without the heat.

Alkaline batteries are convenient because they’re easy tofi nd and relatively inexpensive, making them the powersource of choice for portable instruments and devicesused for outdoor recreation. Their long shelf life alsomakes them an excellent choice for emergency equipmentthat may see infrequent use but must be ready to go on amoment’s notice. It is important that the DC/DC convertersin portable devices operate over the widest possiblebattery voltage range to extend battery run time, and thussave the user from frequent battery replacement.

Photomultipliers (PMT), avalanche photodiodes (APD),ultrasonic transducers, capacitance microphones, radiationdetectors and similar devices require high voltage,low current bias. Additionally, the high voltage must bepristinely free of noise; well under a millivolt is a commonrequirement with a few hundred microvolts sometimesnecessary. Normally, switching regulator confi gurationscannot achieve this performance level without employingspecial techniques. One aid to achieving low noise is thatload currents rarely exceed 5mA. This freedom permitsoutput fi ltering methods that are usually impractical

In August of 1992 LTC published Application Note 49, “Illumination Circuitry for Liquid Crystal Displays.” One notable aspect of this event is that it generated more response than all previous LTC application notes combined. This level of interest, along with significant performance advances since AN-49’s appearance, justifies further discussion of LCD backlighting circuitry.

For a variety of reasons, it is desirable to charge batteriesas rapidly as possible. At the same time, overchargingmust be limited to prolong battery life. Such limitation ofovercharging depends on factors such as the choice ofcharge termination technique and the use of multi-rate/multi-stage charging schemes. The majority of batterycharger ICs available today lock the user into one fixedcharging regimen, with at best a limited number ofcustomization options to suit a variety of application needsor battery types. The LTC®1325 addresses these shortcomingsby providing the user with all the functionalblocks needed to implement a simple but highly flexiblebattery charger (see Figure 1) which not only addressesthe issue of charging batteries but also those of batteryconditioning and capacity monitoring.
