  • Patent number: 11892892
    Abstract: A method detects the electrical topology of a supply network. The network includes at least one power supply unit, a control unit, at least one field bus device, and at least one measuring device. The field bus devices are supplied by the power supply unit. The measuring device is a smart connector, a field bus device, and/or an operating value sensor integrated in the power supply unit or connected thereto. A load is a field bus device and/or another device presenting a load. The method includes a) activating a load to generate an operating signal, b) receiving the operating signal and/or a time profile of the operating signal, c) detecting the operating value, d) evaluating the detection data from the operating signal, and e) applying an algorithm to determine the topology of the supply network. A control unit includes hardware and software to carry out the method.

  • Patent number: 7011989
    Abstract: A method for producing encapsulated chips includes preparing a wafer with contacts projecting from a surface of the wafer. The wafer is disposed on a dicing substrate and diced into a plurality of spaced chips on the dicing substrate. The contacts are covered with a protection arrangement, then injection molding being conducted to introduce encapsulation material into the contacts and the trenches. Then the protection arrangement is removed so that the contacts are exposed.

  • Publication number: 20050088208
    Abstract: Circuit comprising a signal input (IN) for receiving an input signal s(t) and a digital input stage (15) being designed for operation at a supply voltage (VDD). The input stage (15) comprises CMOS transistors, which are sensitive to voltages across transistor nodes going beyond a voltage limit (Vmax), and an input (IINV). Voltage limiting means (B) being are arranged between the signal input (IN) and the input (IINV). The voltage limiting means (B) comprise an input switch (ns) being controllable by the state of the input signal s(t), and limit voltages at the input (IINV) to the supply voltage (VDD). In addition, means for over-voltage protection (A) are provided between the signal input (IN) and the supply voltage (VDD). The means for over-voltage protection (A) comprise at least one active circuit element being arranged so as to mimic part of a zener function.
