  • Patent number: 11164508
    Abstract: An electronic device is disclosed. The electronic device includes a display unit, a light sensor, and a processor. The display unit has a brightness value. The light sensor senses an ambient light to generate a light intensity signal. The processor is coupled to the display unit and the light sensor and accesses a program instruction from a memory to perform the following steps: continuously receiving the light intensity signal from the light sensor; smoothing a plurality of light intensity signals to generate a plurality of smoothing signals; and maintaining the brightness value of the display unit for a preset time period and then determining whether to adjust the brightness value when a difference generated by subtracting a previous smoothing signal of a target smoothing signal of the smoothing signals from the target smoothing signal is less than the first threshold or greater than the second threshold.

  • Patent number: 7646643
    Abstract: Techniques are described to monitor charging of an integrated circuit during manufacturing processes. In one example, an integrated circuit includes first and second pads adapted to be charged by charge carriers during manufacture of the integrated circuit. The integrated circuit also includes a reference nonvolatile memory cell comprising a floating gate and a control gate, wherein the control gate is coupled to the first pad. The integrated circuit further includes a charging protection device coupled to the control gate of the reference memory cell and adapted to limit the gate voltage of the control gate induced by the charge carriers. In addition, the integrated circuit includes a charging monitor nonvolatile memory cell comprising a floating gate and a control gate, wherein the control gate is coupled to the second pad but not to a charging protection device adapted to limit the gate voltage of the control gate.

  • Patent number: 6977408
    Abstract: An EEPROM device exhibiting high saturation current and low signal propagation delay and a process for fabricating the device that includes the formation of refractory metal silicide regions in the source and the drain regions and the gate electrode of an MOS transistor within an EEPROM memory cell. A floating-gate protect layer is formed over the floating-gate electrode and a relatively thick cap oxide layer is formed to overlie the floating-gate protect layer and the source and drain regions and gate electrode of the MOS transistor. A doped oxide layer is formed to overlie the cap oxide layer. The cap oxide layer is formed to a thickness sufficient to create strain in the channel region of the MOS transistor, while not having a thickness that could cause poor data retention in the EEPROM memory cell.
