  • Patent number: 7774516
    Abstract: A communicating system suitable for a repeater and communicating method thereof are described. The communicating system comprises a receiving unit, a delay module, a transmitting unit and a control unit. The receiving unit transmits a first signal based on a KB/MS input signal. The delay module is coupled to the receiving unit and delays the first signal from the receiving unit in order to generate a second signal. The second signal has a first phase difference in comparison with the first signal. The transmitting unit is coupled to the delay module and the control unit. The transmitting unit transmits a KB/MS output signal based on the second signal while the control unit controls the transmitting unit via a control signal.

  • Patent number: 7358817
    Abstract: A linearized bias circuit with adaptation resolves the problem happening to the power amplifier with conventional bias circuit that the DC and AC characteristics of the power amplifier shift or even deteriorate due to a temperature variation. The linearized bias circuit with adaptation has a reference voltage source, a first voltage source, a first resistor, a second resistor, a first NPN transistor, a second NPN transistor, and a third NPN transistor. The present invention has the characteristics of bias current temperature compensation, gain and phase compensations to achieve high linearity for the conventional power amplifier and reducing the DC consumption power. At the same time, the quantity of the required elements and layout area in the present invention are small so that the design complexity can be reduced for improving yield, reducing IC layout area, and reducing cost.

  • Patent number: 6468870
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a LDHOS transistor having a dielectric block under the gate electrode. A high voltage well, low voltage well (LV PW), and field oxide regions having bird beaks are provided in a substrate and overlay the high voltage well and the low voltage well. In a key step, a dielectric block is formed over the bird beaks of the field oxide regions. A gate is formed over the dielectric block. After this the LDMOS device is completed. The invention's dielectric block covers the bird's beaks of the field oxide regions and enhances the e-field tolerance. The invention's e-field enhancement dielectric block relieves the e-field near the bird's beak, thus increasing the breakdown voltage of the transistor.

  • Patent number: 6292393
    Abstract: A method is used to fully extract coupling coefficients of a flash memory cell by a GIDL manner. The flash memory cell is composed of a substrate, a drain region, source region, a control gate and a floating gate. The method keeps the source voltage Vs and the substrate voltage Vb fixed. The drain voltage Vd and the control gate voltage are varied. Then, measuring a GIDL current obtains a first coefficient ratio of the drain coupling coefficient ad to the gate coupling &agr;cg, that is, &agr;d/&agr;cg. Similarly, keeping the drain voltage Vd and the substrate voltage Vb fixed and varying the source voltage Vs and the control gate voltage Vcg, a second coefficient ratio of the source coupling coefficient &agr;s to the gate coupling coefficient &agr;cg, that is, &agr;s/&agr;cg.
