DC-DC power conversion circuitry with efficiency optimization using temperature sensing

摘要

In a described example, an apparatus includes: transistor having a first terminal coupled to an input terminal, a second terminal coupled to an output terminal, and a gate terminal; a temperature sensor configured to sense a junction temperature of the transistor and generate a temperature signal based on the sensed junction temperature; and a gate driver circuit configured to generate a gate signal based on the temperature signal and to output the gate signal to the gate terminal of the transistor.
