  • Publication number: 20180323624
    Abstract: Circuits, systems and methods that may be implemented to achieve thermal management for system load components by balancing power between multiple input power current paths for a narrow voltage DC (NVDC) circuit architecture coupled to receive input external DC power, e.g., such as provided by an external AC adapter. At least one of the multiple current paths may be coupled to supply DC power to a lower voltage portion of a system load through a charger circuit, while at least one other of the multiple current paths may be coupled to selectably supply DC power directly to another and different higher voltage portion of the system load, bypassing the charger circuit and related NVDC components.

  • Publication number: 20120306941
    Abstract: A power-saving technology of a display device is provided, in which a device and a method are proposed to control the signal processing of the backlight module such that it is synchronized with the backlight and a frame output signal. The device comprises a signal generation module for generating a vertical synchronization (VSYNC) signal having a first and a second state in each time period and a first pulse width modulation (PWM) signal and a modulation control module for receiving the VSYNC and the first PWM signals. The modulation control module transmits the first PWM signal to the backlight module when the VSYNC signal is in the first state such that the backlight module operates accordingly. The modulation control module transmits a second PWM signal to the backlight module when the VSYNC signal is in the second state such that the backlight module turns off.
