  • Patent number: 11948881
    Abstract: A semiconductor structure includes a die, a molding surrounding the die, a first dielectric layer disposed over the die and the molding, and a second dielectric layer disposed between the first dielectric layer and the die, and between the first dielectric layer and the molding. A material content ratio in the first dielectric layer is substantially greater than that in the second dielectric layer. In some embodiments, the material content ratio substantially inversely affects a mechanical strength of the first dielectric layer and the second dielectric layer.

  • Patent number: 10014779
    Abstract: A power supply device includes a power supply module, a voltage regulator module and an over-voltage protection (OVP) module. The power supply module is utilized to provide a standby voltage signal. The voltage regulator module includes a phase modulator circuit. The phase modulator circuit includes a high-side power transistor, a low-side power transistor and a phase inductor. The OVP module is utilized to transmit the standby voltage signal to the phase modulator circuit and detect a detection potential on the phase modulator circuit. The OVP module selectively conducts the low-side power transistor of the phase modulator circuit according to the detection potential.

  • Patent number: 7602156
    Abstract: A boost converter includes a first boost conversion unit and a second boost conversion unit. Coils of the first boost conversion unit and the second boost conversion unit are coupled with each other. Due to coupling of the coils, the second boost conversion unit releases energy while the first boost conversion unit stores energy in a period of time. Furthermore, due to coupling of the coils, the first boost conversion unit releases energy while the second boost conversion unit stores energy in another period of time. The two boost conversion units operate alternately, thereby adjusting switching loss and averaging output power of components. Furthermore, as switching frequency increases, the coil inductance, as well as the capacitance required in the two boost conversion units can be reduced correspondingly, thus substantially enhancing responses of the two boost conversion units as a whole.

  • Publication number: 20070273346
    Abstract: A voltage regulator circuit with over-current protection, which includes a linear regulator, a voltage controller, and an over-current protection circuit. The linear regulator includes a converter and a driver. The converter is connected to a voltage input terminal and a voltage output terminal. An output terminal of the driver is connected to the converter for controlling the operation of the converter. The voltage controller is connected to the voltage output terminal, the output terminal and a first input terminal of the driver, respectively, for providing a feedback voltage. The over-current protection circuit is connected to the output terminal of the driver and the linear regulator. The over-current protection circuit detects the output voltage of the driver for comparing with a comparison voltage. When the output voltage is larger than the comparison voltage, the over-current protection circuit controls the driver to turn off the converter.
