Wei-Xiang TANG has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9515544
    Abstract: A voltage compensation circuit and a control method thereof dynamically compensate a voltage drop caused by supplying power from a first power line to a function circuit. The voltage compensation circuit includes an amplifier, a detection module and a boosting module. The amplifier has an inverting input end coupled to the first power line and the function circuit to be supplied with a load voltage supplying to the function circuit, a non-inverting input end for being supplied with a reference voltage, and an output end coupled to the detection module to output a comparison signal. The boosting module is coupled between the detection module and the inverting input end of the amplifier. The detection module generates compensation voltage information according to the comparison signal. The boosting module outputs the compensation voltage to the inverting input end of the amplifier according to the compensation voltage information.

  • Publication number: 20160148657
    Abstract: A non-violate memory device and a control method thereof are provided. The non-violate memory device includes a flip-flop, a retention cell and a memory cell. The flip-flop includes an output inverter. The flip-flop generates a second data according to a first data and a retention signal. The retention cell is coupled to the output inverter of the flip-flop. The retention cell temporarily stores the second data when the retention signal is enabled. During the period that retention signal is enabled, the memory cell stores the second data temporarily stored by the retention cell. Thus, another operation mode of the non-violate memory device is provided to save more power.
