  • Publication number: 20250079270
    Abstract: A power management integrated circuit (PMIC) soldered onto a printed circuit board, includes: a first output stage circuit and a second output stage circuit. In a separate power supply configuration, first and second current inflow pins of the first and second output stage circuits are soldered to first and second current inflow printed lines, respectively, wherein the first and second current inflow printed lines are not directly electrically connected to each other; and, first and second current outflow pins of the first and second output stage circuits are soldered to first and second current outflow printed lines respectively, wherein the first and second current outflow printed lines are not directly electrically connected to each other. In a cooperation power supply configuration, the first and second current inflow pins are both soldered to a common current inflow printed line of the PCB, to be electrically connected with each other.

  • Publication number: 20250062083
    Abstract: A key structure includes a base, an elastic member disposed on the base, a scissors structure movably disposed on the base, and a keycap module having a carrier and a light source. The carrier is detachably assembled to the scissors structure and abuts the elastic member. The light source is disposed in the carrier. The light source is electrically connected to a bottom portion of the base through a flexible circuit member penetrating the carrier, passing the scissors structure, and penetrating the base. A top portion of the carrier has light transmittance, so that light of the light source can pass through the top portion to be projected from the key structure.
