Abstract:
Some apparatus and associated methods relate to conductivity modulation apparatus for active operations with an inductive element in a packaged circuit module formed with a bypass switch for configuration in parallel with an inductor. In an illustrative example, the bypass switch may be a controllable bidirectional switch formed of, for example, two anti-series connected MOSFETs. In some embodiments, the packaged module may include a main switch and/or a freewheeling rectifier (e.g., synchronous rectifier) operable as a buck-derived switched mode power supply. The bypass switch may, in operation, selectively circulate inductor current through the bypass switch, for example, to control the timing and/or quantity of energy transfer from the inductor to a load. In some implementations, the bypass switch may be operated, for example, to dynamically modulate conductivity across the terminals of an inductor in a buck-derived switched mode power supply to enhance circuit performance in numerous operational modes.

Claim (Index 17):
The apparatus of  claim 14 , further comprising a common input terminal (COM), wherein the first semiconductor switch is configured to modulate conductivity between the input node and the output node in response to the first bypass switch control signal received between the first control input terminal and the common input terminal, and the common input terminal is configured to communicate electrical signals between an interior of the package and an exterior of the package.
