Patents by Inventor Bin-Wei Yi

Bin-Wei Yi 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: 8405431
    Abstract: A line driver includes the following. A current replication unit replicates a reference current according to an input signal. A current mapping unit adjusts a number of P channel transistors connected in parallel and inside the current mapping unit according to control information, so as to amplify the reference current according to a magnification value. A first resistor is electrically connected between the current replication unit and a direct-current voltage. A second resistor is electrically connected to the current replication unit and the current mapping unit and generates an output signal. A signal detection unit performs integration on a part of a difference between the input signal and the output signal, thereby generating an integration signal. A magnification control unit gradually adjusts magnification information related to a reference signal, and updates the control information by the magnification information when the reference signal is equal to the integration signal.

  • Patent number: 8303178
    Abstract: A temperature detecting device includes a current source, a plurality of resistors, a binary counter, a multiplexer, a comparator and a control logic. The current source provides a PTAT current. The resistors provide m voltage signals with ascending or descending voltages. The binary counter generates a binary select signal having (n+1) bits. The m voltage signals are selectively outputted from the multiplexer as a multiplexer output signal according to the binary select signal, wherein 2n<m<2n+1. The comparator is used for comparing the multiplexer output signal with a reference voltage, thereby generating a comparing signal. The control logic is for issuing the start signal. If the comparing signal has a level change, the control logic controls the binary counter to record the binary select signal as a binary temperature signal. The reference voltage does not vary with temperature.

  • Patent number: 8289064
    Abstract: A differential offset circuit adapted for an adaptive filter of a receiver front end is provided. The differential offset circuit includes four controllable current sources which are respectively coupled to two differential output terminals of the adaptive filter. The current magnitudes of the controllable current sources are capable of being adjusted according to design requirements so that the differential offset of the adaptive filter is mitigated to avoid that the adaptive filter outputs a distorted signal to affect the accuracy of signal transmission.
