  • Patent number: 9958486
    Abstract: A circuit for detecting a knee of waveform is disclosed in the present invention. The circuit detects the knee and a total oscillation time of a voltage waveform as a load switch of load circuit is turned off. In the circuit, a filter filters the voltage waveform to transmit a reference voltage to a first and a second comparator. When the first and the second comparator determine that the voltage waveform achieves a sum of the reference voltage and a set voltage, the first and the second comparator transmit a first and a second signal to a knee detection module. When the knee detection module receives the first signal rather than the second signal in an oscillation time, or receives the second signal rather than the first signal in the oscillation time, the knee detection module records the knee and trigger a time recorder computes the total oscillation time.

  • Patent number: 9740332
    Abstract: A method of a charging calibration system is mainly to charge/discharge a reference touch pad, then to compute a reference charging time needed for a number of accumulated reference supply duties to reach a reference charging number, then to base on the reference charging time to charge/discharge one of operation touch pads repeatedly by a calibration supply duty, finally to count a number of the experienced calibration supply duties within the reference charging time. Thereupon, a reference charged number of an individual operation touch pad within the reference charging time can be obtained. Thus, the operation touch pad can adjust the reference charging time to meet various environmental requirements. Also, the reference supply duty is greater than the calibration supply duty.

  • Patent number: 9190895
    Abstract: A circuit for controlling load switch is disclosed in the present invention. The circuit is applied to a load circuit which includes a load switch and a working element. The circuit includes a first comparator, a second comparator, and a third comparator. When an inductance current achieves the average current, the first comparator triggered to conduct a first switch. When the inductance current achieves a default ripple current, the second comparator is triggered to conduct a second switch. When either one of the first switch and the second switch is conducted, the load switch is turned off to make a variable voltage be increased. When the first switch is conducted, a capacitance voltage of a controlled capacitance is increased to increase a turned-off time. When the second switch is conducted, the capacitance voltage is decreased to decrease the turned-off time to control the load switch.
