Patent number: 12250002Abstract: A SAR ADC includes: a sample-hold (S/H) circuit sampling an input voltage to generate a S/H output signal; a DAC generating a DAC output signal; a comparator comparing the DAC output signal with the S/H output signal to generate a comparison output signal; a SAR combinational digital circuit group; a multiplexer circuit; and a plurality of registers for registering the comparison output signal as register output signals and outputting as an output signal of the SAR ADC. The SAR combinational digital circuit group generates a plurality of first and second SAR output signals based on the register output signals. The multiplexer circuit is controlled by on the register output signals to select among the first and the second SAR output signals as a plurality of multiplexer output signals for sending to the DAC. A capacitor coupling relationship of the DAC is controlled by the multiplexer output signals.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2023Date of Patent: March 11, 2025Assignee: UNITED MICROELECTRONICS CORP.Inventors: Po-Hua Chen, Yu-Yee Liow, Chih-Wei Wu, Wen-Hong Hsu, Hsuan-Chih Yeh, Pei-Wen Sun

Patent number: 12204163Abstract: An optical system affixed to an electronic apparatus is provided, including a first optical module, a second optical module, and a third optical module. The first optical module is configured to adjust the moving direction of a first light from a first moving direction to a second moving direction, wherein the first moving direction is not parallel to the second moving direction. The second optical module is configured to receive the first light moving in the second moving direction. The first light reaches the third optical module via the first optical module and the second optical module in sequence. The third optical module includes a first photoelectric converter configured to transform the first light into a first image signal.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2024Date of Patent: January 21, 2025Assignee: TDK TAIWAN CORP.Inventors: Chao-Chang Hu, Chih-Wei Weng, Chia-Che Wu, Chien-Yu Kao, Hsiao-Hsin Hu, He-Ling Chang, Chao-Hsi Wang, Chen-Hsien Fan, Che-Wei Chang, Mao-Gen Jian, Sung-Mao Tsai, Wei-Jhe Shen, Yung-Ping Yang, Sin-Hong Lin, Tzu-Yu Chang, Sin-Jhong Song, Shang-Yu Hsu, Meng-Ting Lin, Shih-Wei Hung, Yu-Huai Liao, Mao-Kuo Hsu, Hsueh-Ju Lu, Ching-Chieh Huang, Chih-Wen Chiang, Yu-Chiao Lo, Ying-Jen Wang, Shu-Shan Chen, Che-Hsiang Chiu

Patent number: 11476699Abstract: A power backup circuit provides a plurality of input power sources to back up a load. The power backup circuit includes a first switch, a second switch, and a control unit. The input power sources at least includes a first input power source and a second input power source. If the input power source of the load needs to be changed from the first input power source to the second input power source, the control unit controls the first switch to be coupled to the second input power source and controls the second switch to be coupled to the second input power source after the control unit effects a supply current flowing through a first power supply path and a second power supply path both coupled to the first input power source and the load to be reduced below a current threshold.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2020Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: DELTA ELECTRONICS, INC.Inventors: Te-Chih Peng, Ming-Hsiang Lo, Chih-Hong Wu, Yu-Ren Weng

Publication number: 20210320519Abstract: A power supply system includes a plurality of power supply units and a plurality of battery units. Each power supply unit is coupled to a common bus through a first switch. Each battery unit is corresponding to each power supply unit, and is coupled to the common bus through a second switch. Any one of the power supply units turns on the corresponding first switch and turns on the second switches of other battery units so that the power supply unit acquires power electricity from other battery units through the common bus.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2021Publication date: October 14, 2021Inventors: Shih-Chang CHUANG, Te-Chih PENG, Ming-Hsiang LO, Chih-Hong WU, Min-Cheng CHIANG

Patent number: 10651728Abstract: A power supply device includes a PF correction circuit, a power switching circuit and a control circuit. The PF correction circuit converts an input voltage to a bus voltage according to a control signal to supply a later stage circuit. The power switching circuit selectively switches to conduct a first source or a second source to the PF correction circuit to provide the input voltage to the PF correction circuit. The control circuit outputs the control signal to the PF correction circuit. When the control circuit detects a first voltage of the first source connecting to the PF correction circuit is abnormal, the control circuit determines whether a second voltage of the second source is smaller than the bus voltage and controls the power switching circuit to switch when the second voltage is smaller than the bus voltage to conduct the second source to the PF correction circuit.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2017Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: DELTA ELECTRONICS, INC.Inventors: Hsin-Chung Niu, Chih-Hong Wu, Chia-Hao Chang, Ming-Hsiang Lo

Patent number: 9536922Abstract: A fabricating method of a recess with asymmetric walls includes the steps of providing a substrate comprising a top surface. A recess is formed in the substrate, wherein the recess comprises a first wall, a second wall and a bottom. A patterned mask is formed to cover the substrate. Part of the top surface adjacent to the second wall is exposed through the patterned mask. Finally, the substrate is removed to form a sloping wall, wherein the sloping wall, the first wall and the bottom form a recess with asymmetric walls.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2014Date of Patent: January 3, 2017Assignee: UNITED MICROELECTRONICS CORP.Inventors: Ming-Te Lai, Chih-Hong Wu, Feng-Ying Hsu
