Publication number: 20180374081Abstract: A public transit payment method and device are provided. The method includes: when it is detected that a balance of a first virtual public transit card associated with a prepaid public transit card is smaller than a first preset balance threshold, a first charging request containing an identifier of the first virtual public transit card is sent to a server, where the prepaid public transit card is associated with at least one virtual public transit card; a charging response for the first virtual public transit card is received; and a public transit payment operation is performed by using the first virtual public transit card.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 18, 2018Publication date: December 27, 2018Applicant: BEIJING XIAOMI MOBILE SOFTWARE CO., LTD.Inventors: Kai CHEN, Along CHAI, Chengxin LIU

Patent number: 9948291Abstract: An apparatus includes a first circuit, a second circuit and a third circuit. The first circuit may be configured to generate a plurality of second signals by a voltage translation of a plurality of first signals. The second circuit may be configured to switch the second signals to generate a plurality of third signals. The second signals are generally switched such that (i) all third signals are inactive before one of the third signals transitions from inactive to active while a switching condition is enabled and (ii) all third signals are switched inactive while the switching condition is disabled. The third circuit may be configured to amplify the third signals to generate a plurality of output signals. Each of the output signals generally has a current capacity to drive one or more of a plurality of diodes in a diode switch circuit.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2017Date of Patent: April 17, 2018Assignee: MACOM Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Christopher D. Weigand, Chengxin Liu, Nicholas J. Ahlquist

Patent number: 9698774Abstract: An apparatus having a first circuit, a second circuit and a third circuit is disclosed. The first circuit may be configured to translate an input signal in a first voltage domain to generate a complementary pair of first signals in a second voltage domain. The second circuit may be configured to logically switch the first signals to generate a complementary pair of second signals in the second voltage domain. The first signals may be logically switched such that both of the second signals are inactive before one of the second signals transitions from inactive to active. The third circuit may be configured to amplify the second signals to generate a complementary pair of output signals in the second voltage domain. Each of the output signals generally has a current capacity to drive one or more of a plurality of diodes in a diode switch circuit.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2015Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignee: MACOM Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Chengxin Liu, Christopher D.

Patent number: 9455700Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a transmit/receive (T/R) circuit and a gate/drain bias control circuit. The transmit/receive (T/R) circuit may be configured to transmit and receive radio frequency (RF) signals. The gate/drain bias control circuit may be configured to enable or disable internal gate switching of one or more amplifiers of the transmit/receive (T/R) circuit in response to a first control signal. When the internal gate switching is disabled the one or more amplifiers of the transmit/receive (T/R) circuit are enabled and disabled solely by external drain switching.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2014Date of Patent: September 27, 2016Assignee: MACOM Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Qun Xiao, Chengxin Liu, Christopher D.

Patent number: 9231646Abstract: A method for single signal transmit/receive module amplifier switching control is disclosed. Step (A) of the method may receive a control signal through a single pin of a circuit. The control signal may alternately conveys (i) a receive mode and (ii) a transmit mode. Step (B) may generate a transmit signal in a disabled state in response to the control signal transitioning from the transmit mode to the receive mode. The transmit signal in the disabled state is generally configured to disable a transmit amplifier. Step (C) may generate a receive signal in an enabled state a receive delay time after the control signal transitions from the transmit mode to the receive mode. The receive signal in the enabled state is generally configured to enable a receive amplifier. The receive delay time may allow the transmit amplifier to switch off before the receive amplifier switches on.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2014Date of Patent: January 5, 2016Assignee: M/A-COM Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Chengxin Liu, Christopher D.

Patent number: 9148144Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a first circuit and a second circuit. The first circuit may be configured to generate a plurality of complementary outputs based upon a plurality of inputs, a first control signal, and a second control signal, where the plurality of inputs is received as a serial data stream. The second circuit may be configured to generate one or more pairs of complementary output signals and a plurality of open-drain outputs in response to a third control signal, a fourth control signal, a fifth control signal, and a sixth control signal. A first complementary output of each pair of complementary output signals has a higher current capability than a second complementary output of each pair of complementary output signals.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2014Date of Patent: September 29, 2015Assignee: M/A-COM Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Chengxin Liu, Christopher D.
