  • Patent number: 8896274
    Abstract: A charger calibrating device and a calibrating method thereof. The device comprises a control module and a processing module. The control module controls a charger to be calibrated to perform a first stage charging and a second stage charging on an electronic device. The processing module performs an adjusting process according to the second stage charging time for adjusting the high level period of the PWM signal in the charging circuit of the charger. In the adjusting process, generating an updated high level period by adding or decreasing a preset adjusting amplitude, and decrease the preset adjusting amplitude by half to generate an updated adjusting amplitude. The processing module terminates the calibrating process after repeating the aforementioned calibrating loop a preset number of times.

  • Publication number: 20090172354
    Abstract: A handshaking dual-processor architecture of a digital camera includes a microprocessor and a digital signal processor (DSP). After accepting a user command, the microprocessor transmits a wakeup signal to trigger the DSP to switch from a sleep mode to an operation mode, and transmits a data packet and a processing request to the DSP. After receiving the data packet, the DSP generates a data packet processing result according to the processing request. After receiving the data packet processing result, the microprocessor returns a processing state in response to the user command. Through the handshaking dual-processor architecture, it is unnecessary to implement low-level device operation on application program, and it is only necessary to submit a required basic function, such that the microprocessor controls the corresponding DSP to execute the basic function and report the executing result of the basic function.
