Abstract: Supply voltage level detectors are disclosed. The supply voltage level detector comprises a voltage source divider dividing a voltage source to generate a detection voltage, a bandgap reference voltage generator, a comparator comparing the detection voltage with a bandgap reference voltage generated by the bandgap reference voltage generator to determine if the voltage source is ready, a control circuit, and a forcing circuit. To ensure reliability of the comparison result, the control circuit disables the comparing device until the bandgap reference voltage is available. The forcing circuit is coupled to the output terminal of the comparing device and is controlled by the control circuit. When the comparing device is disabled, the forcing circuit forces the voltage level of the output terminal of the comparing device to a specific value indicating the voltage source is unready.

The switch circuit can have two inductors. When the two complementary MOS pairs are conducting current to drive signal transition at output nodes, the inductors open to make the load transistors stop draining current. Also, the switch circuit can have switch transistor controlled by an edge detector for detecting raising and falling edges of the input signals, such that the switch circuit can make the load transistors stop draining current accordingly. In this way, raising and falling edges of the output signals are emphasized to improve signal propagation.

Abstract: A linear battery chargers is disclosed which comprises a current generator, a current detector, an operational amplifier, and a multiplexing device. The current generator provides current to charge a battery module, and the current is detected and transformed to a detected voltage by the current detector. The operational amplifier has an output terminal coupled to a control terminal of the current generator. In a constant current charge mode, the multiplexing device couples a first reference voltage and the detected voltage to first and second input terminals of the operational amplifier, respectively. The current generated by the current generator is maintained at a constant current level. In a constant voltage charge mode, the multiplexing device couples a second reference voltage and the voltage level of the battery module to the first and second input terminals of the operational amplifier, respectively. The voltage level of the battery module gradually approaches a constant voltage level.

Abstract: A sample-and-hold interface circuit of a pickup head uses a circuit switch to control a voltage divider.

Abstract: A transmission circuit and related method are disclosed. A transmitter in the transmission circuit has CMOS transistors as driving units for responding an input signal to drive an output signal at an output node, and each driving unit has a corresponding charge unit formed by a capacitor-connected MOS of a same type as that of the corresponding driving unit. Each charge unit is controlled by an auxiliary signal inverse to the input signal. When a level transition occurs in the input signal, the charge unit can compensate charge injection and clock feed-through caused by the driving unit at the output node, and form peaks for pre-emphasis. In this way, a better transmission property can be realized by using a simpler and low-power circuit design.
