  • Publication number: 20120086656
    Abstract: A touch sensing circuit and method is provided. The touch sensing circuit discriminates a common voltage change of a display panel couple to the touch sensor in a touch panel display apparatus. The touch sensor comprises a plurality of sensor electrodes. The touch sensing circuit includes a plurality of channel circuits, each of which includes a reset switch and a sensing switch for alternately conducting an associated sensor electrode to a reset voltage and a charge collecting circuit. The channel circuits are divided to different groups that operate according to interleaving timings for encompassing possible common voltage changes.

  • Publication number: 20120062132
    Abstract: A regulated voltage protection circuit includes a bias-voltage generating circuit and a clamping circuit. The bias-voltage generating circuit provides a bias-voltage. The clamping circuit is coupled to a plurality of light-emitting diode (LED) strings and a driving circuit, and generates a plurality of clamped voltages that are respectively transmitted to a plurality of input pads of the driving circuit according to the bias-voltage. The regulation voltage protection circuit protects against electrical overstress (EOS) by protecting the driving circuit during low-voltage fabrication process chip manufacturing.

  • Publication number: 20050057234
    Abstract: A method and apparatus to dynamically modify the internal compensation of a low drop-out (LDO) voltage regulator is presented. The process involves creating an additional equivalent series resistance (ESR) from an internal circuit. The additional ESR of the internal circuit is sufficient to ensure the DC output stability. This allows the ESR of the output capacitance to be reduced to zero if desired, for improved transient response.

  • Patent number: 6765374
    Abstract: A method an apparatus to dynamically modify the internal compensation of a low drop-out (LDO) linear voltage regulator is presented. The process involves creating an additional equivalent series resistance (ESR) from an internal circuit. The additional ESR of the internal circuit is sufficient to ensure DC output stability. This allows the ESR of the output capacitance to be reduced to zero if desired, for improved transient response. The zero induced by the ESR of the internal circuit is frequency compensated, so that it tracks the position of the output pole as the load varies.
