  • Patent number: 11418179
    Abstract: A capacitive digital isolator circuit includes: a signal emitting module; a signal receiving module; and a capacitive isolation module. The signal emitting module includes an edge Pulse-Coding modulator circuit, which modulates an input signal to generate a pair of differential modulated signals based on the input signal and transmits the pair of differential modulated signals to the signal receiving module. Each of the pair of differential modulated signals has twelve high-frequency pulses when the input signal has a rising edge and has six high-frequency pulses when the input signal has a falling edge. The signal receiving module includes an ultra-low power consumption high-speed comparator, a timer and a pulse counter. An output signal of the pulse counter has a rising edge when the pulse number of the comparator output signal is larger than nine and a falling edge when the pulse number is equal to or smaller than nine.

  • Patent number: 11411257
    Abstract: A hot swap battery module uses a smart chip and an ideal diode controller to control a power transistor so as to implement a multi-step charge or discharge. Consequently, battery modules which have different voltages or battery capacities can be immediately connected in parallel. When the hot swap battery module is hot swapped, the hot swap battery module also can avoid an excessive charge current or discharge current to damage itself.

  • Patent number: 11248977
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for cancelling effects of changes in interconnection capacitances on capacitive sensor readings, and an apparatus configure to perform such method. The sensor readings are provided by a capacitive sensor connected with an interface circuitry. The interface circuitry has at least two interconnections comprising a sensor interconnection and a compensating interconnection. The method comprises obtaining a total sensor capacitance value from the capacitive sensor, and obtaining a total compensating interconnection capacitance value from the compensating interconnection, calculating a compensated sensor capacitance value by reducing the obtained total compensating interconnection capacitance value multiplied with a weight coefficient from the obtained total sensor capacitance value and providing at an output of the interface circuitry an electrical signal corresponding to the compensated sensor capacitance value.

  • Patent number: 11211188
    Abstract: In a stepwise structure formed in a multilayer coil component, a difference occurs in a shrinkage amount between a maximum film thickness portion in which the number of layers is large and a minimum film thickness portion in which the number of layers is small due to portions different in the number of layers of coil parts (that is, upper coil part, lower coil part, and connecting part) adjacent to each other like the maximum film thickness portion and the minimum film thickness portion, readily causing a crack by an inner stress due to the difference in the shrinkage amount. In a multilayer coil component according to the present disclosure, a stress relaxation part overlapping with a maximum film thickness portion whose shrinkage amount is large is provided to relax inner stress in a stepwise structure, resulting in prevention of a crack.
