  • Publication number: 20200350777
    Abstract: A controller for managing a battery pack includes: a detection terminal, for transmitting an enable signal when values of battery parameters for the battery pack satisfy a sleep condition, where the enable signal enables the detection circuit to detect whether the battery pack is connected to a load and whether the battery pack is connected to the charger; and a receiving terminal, for receiving a detection result transmitted by the detection circuit. The detection result indicates whether the battery pack is connected to at least one of the load and charger. The controller controls the battery pack to enter a sleep mode of the sleep modes based on the detection result. The controller also includes a control terminal, for transmitting a control signal to control an on/off state of a charging switch and/or a discharging switch. The control signal is generated by the controller based on the detection result.

  • Patent number: 10826493
    Abstract: A gate driving circuit for providing a high driving voltage includes a first N-type high-voltage transistor and a second N-type high-voltage transistor connected in series between a driving voltage output node and a system low-voltage source. A voltage difference between a system high-voltage source and the system low-voltage source is greater than a withstand voltage of the first or second N-type high-voltage transistor. When the driving voltage output node is to output a system high voltage, the first N-type high-voltage transistor and the second N-type high-voltage transistor are turned off. Deep N-type well regions of the first N-type high-voltage transistor and the second N-type high-voltage transistor are applied with a first bias voltage. A voltage difference between the first bias voltage and the system low-voltage source is smaller than an interface breakdown voltage between the deep N-type well region and a P-type well region of the second N-type high-voltage transistor.

  • Publication number: 20200282506
    Abstract: A method is provided to minimize travel distance and time between correction locations on a substrate when polishing a local area of a substrate, such as a semiconductor wafer, using a location specific polishing module. A correction profile is determined and a recipe based on the correction profile is used to polish a substrate. A polishing pad assembly traverses between a first correction location and a second correction location using the combined motion of a substrate support chuck and a support arm coupled at a first end thereof to the polishing pad assembly. The chuck rotates about a center axis thereof. The positioning arm may sweep about a vertical axis disposed through a second end of the support arm. The combined motion of the chuck and the positioning arm causes the polishing pad assembly to form a spiral shaped polishing path on the substrate.

  • Publication number: 20200222799
    Abstract: An external control device for a game controller is provided, including a casing, a second adapter, a mode selector, a memory, and a conversion circuit. The second adapter is provided for being connected to the first adapter of the game controller. The mode selector is provided for outputting one of selection signals. The memory stores different encode data. The conversion circuit selects encode data according to the selection signals output from the mode selector, and encodes and converts the button signal into a pre-formatted wireless signal according to the selected encode data, and then sends the pre-formatted wireless signal through a wireless signal transmitting circuit. Thus, the button signal of the game controller is converted into a wireless signal corresponding to another game console providing another game control device integrating the game controller with the external control device, which has the same effect.
