  • Publication number: 20230416552
    Abstract: Room temperature processing has successfully resulted in highly conductive coatings formed from silver nanowires with a cellulose binder. The conductive coatings can be formed with silver salts to fuse the silver nanowires into a unitary fused metal nanostructured network. Even without added silver salts, low sheet resistance values can be obtained. Room temperature processing can be effective over a range of transmittance values from highly transparent to modestly transparent to translucent to opaque. The ability to form the transparent coatings opens the processing to a wide range of substrates that are not processible with higher process temperatures.

  • Patent number: 11847077
    Abstract: A serial peripheral interface (SPI) integrated circuit (IC) and an operation method thereof are provided. A SPI architecture includes a master IC and a slave IC. When the SPI IC is a master IC, the SPI IC generates first command information for a slave IC, generates first debugging information corresponding to the first command information, and sends the first command information and the first debugging information to the slave IC through a SPI channel. When the SPI IC is the slave IC, the SPI IC receives second command information and second debugging information sent by the master IC through the SPI channel and checks the second command information by using the second debugging information. When the SPI IC is a target slave circuit selected by the master IC, the SPI IC executes the second command information under a condition that the second command information is checked and is correct.
