  • Patent number: 11909315
    Abstract: A switching regulator includes a power stage circuit and a controller circuit. The controller circuit includes a first amplification circuit, a second amplification circuit, a ramp signal generation circuit, and a comparator. The first amplification circuit generates an amplification signal according to a difference between a low-pass filtered signal and a feedback signal. The second amplification circuit generates an adjustment signal according to a difference between the feedback signal and a fast response signal. The comparator generates a pulse width modulation signal according to a difference between the amplification signal and a ramp signal to generate a switch control signal. The adjustment signal adaptively adjusts the amplification signal or the ramp signal. The low-pass filtered signal is related to a signal generated by filtering out higher frequency part of the reference signal, and the reference signal is related to a dynamic change of a target level of the output voltage.

  • Publication number: 20240053190
    Abstract: A system includes a processor, and a display, a reader, a switch, a scale, a memory device, intake-type buttons and output-type buttons that are connected to the processor. The processor controls the display to display an identification number obtained by using the reader to read an identifier. The switch is operated to enable the processor to operate in an intake mode or an output mode. When operating in the intake (output) mode, the processor controls the display to display a symbol corresponding to one of the intake-type (output-type) buttons that is determined to be pressed, and in response to receipt of weight data from the scale, controls the display to display a value of pre-intake (post-output) weight obtained based on the weight data, and stores the value of pre-intake (post-output) weight in the memory device.

  • Patent number: 11658650
    Abstract: A PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) controller includes a current detector, a current emulator, a voltage-to-current converter, and a current adder. The current detector detects a first current, and generates a second current according to the first current. The current detector receives an input voltage and outputs an output voltage. The current emulator obtains the relative information of a lower-gate current. The voltage-to-current converter draws a third current from the current emulator according to the input voltage and the output voltage. The current emulator generates a fourth current according to the relative information and the third current. The current adder adds the fourth current to the second current, so as to generate a sum current.
