Patent number: 9665202Abstract: A touch panel circuit and an operation method thereof are disclosed herein. The touch panel circuit includes first scan lines, second scan lines, and a first scan sensing module. The first scan sensing module includes first scan-sensing units corresponding to the first scan lines, respectively. Each first scan sensing unit includes a first logic gate and a second logic gate. The first logic gate includes a first input terminal, a first output terminal, and a first control terminal. The second logic gate includes a second input terminal, a second output terminal, and a second control terminal. The first logic gate and second logic gate enable the first input terminal to connect to the first output terminal and one of the first scan lines, or enable the second input terminal and one of the first scan lines to connect to the second output terminal.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2014Date of Patent: May 30, 2017Assignees: CHUNGHWA PICTURE TUBES, LTD., TATUNG UNIVERSITYInventors: Fu-Chiung Cheng, Hsin-Chi Lai, Pin-Hung Chou

Patent number: 8872543Abstract: A configurable logic block (CLB) and an operation method of the CLB are provided. The CLB includes memory units and a selecting circuit. The memory unit includes a first resistive non-volatile memory (RNVM) element and a second RNVM element. Top electrodes (TEs) of the first and second RNVM elements are coupled to an output terminal of the memory unit. Bottom electrodes (BEs) of the first and second RNVM elements are respectively coupled to a first bias terminal and a second bias terminal of the memory unit. The selecting circuit selects one of the memory units according to an input logic value and determines an output logic value of the CLB according to an output logic value of the selected memory unit.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2013Date of Patent: October 28, 2014Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Wen-Pin Lin, Chih-He Lin, Shyh-Shyuan Sheu, Hsin-Chi Lai
