  • Publication number: 20140289431
    Abstract: An interface apparatus is capable of connecting with a plurality of external devices and an electronic device. The electronic device generates control signals and a selecting signal. The interface apparatus comprises a plurality of interface ports, an interface, a selection unit, and a switch. The interface ports connect with the external devices respectively. The interface controls the switch to establish a connection between the selection unit and the interface in response to the first control signal for transmitting the selecting signal to the selection unit. The selection unit selects the interface port corresponding to the selecting signal to connect with the switch. The interface further transmits information from the external device corresponding to the selected interface port to the electronic device through the switch and the interface in that order in response to the second control signal.

  • Publication number: 20140281630
    Abstract: An electronic device with two driving structures is capable of switching between a standby state and a working state. The electronic device includes a power supply, a processor and a driving circuit. The power supply is capable of outputting a first driving voltage or a second driving voltage. The processor detects whether the power supply outputs a first driving voltage and whether the electronic device receives a power-on instruction for powering on the electronic device. The processor outputs different controlling signals to control the driving circuit to output different voltages. The processor works in different states of different driving structures based on the received voltage outputted by the driving circuit.

  • Publication number: 20140085855
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a first circuit board, a second circuit board, and a third circuit board. A plurality of loads are mounted on the first circuit board, a plurality of direct current (DC) to DC converters are mounted on the second circuit board, and an alternating current (AC) to DC converter is mounted on the third circuit board. The first circuit board is electrically connected to the second circuit board, the DC to DC converters are configured to convert an input DC voltage from the third circuit board to a plurality of output DC voltages correspondingly, and the output DC voltages power the loads correspondingly. The electronic device separates the voltage-conversion processes from other working components, thus the electronic device is protected from electromagnetic interference.

  • Publication number: 20140051293
    Abstract: A male connector is connected to a tuner and is dimensioned in accordance with a standard video graphics array (VGA) male connector. The male connector includes a red video male pin, a green video male pin, a blue video male pin, an inter-integrated circuit (I2C) data, and an I2C clock male pin. The red video male pin receives a left channel audio signal from the tuner. The green video male pin receives a right channel audio signal from the tuner. The blue video male pin receives a video signal from the tuner. The I2C data male pin transmits an I2C data signal to the tuner, the I2C clock male pin transmits an I2C clock signal to the tuner, the I2C data signal and the I2C clock signal control the tuner to select one of the television radio frequency signals.
