Patent number: 8368324Abstract: A driving apparatus includes a voltage transforming unit and a detector. The driving apparatus is used for supplying a drive voltage to a load. The voltage transforming unit is used for transforming a direct current (DC) voltage to the drive voltage. The detector is connected to the load for detecting a forward voltage across the load to generate a detecting voltage; wherein the detector compares the detecting voltage with a first reference voltage. If the detecting voltage is smaller than the first reference voltage, the detector generates a first feedback signal; the voltage transforming unit increases the drive voltage according to the first feedback signal, the detecting voltage is defined by subtraction of the forward voltage from the drive voltage.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2010Date of Patent: February 5, 2013Assignee: Fitipower Integrated Technology, Inc.Inventors: Kai-Ping Lin, Chun-Hsin Yang, Wen-Cheng Shih

Patent number: 8237368Abstract: A driving device includes a dimmer, a rectifying-filtering unit, a rectifying-dividing unit, a control unit, and a voltage transforming unit. The dimmer is used for receiving an alternating current (AC) voltage from a power supply, and generating a primary voltage for controlling the brightness of a luminous element. The rectifying-filtering unit is used for rectifying and filtering the primary voltage to generate a secondary voltage. The rectifying-dividing unit is used for rectifying and dividing the primary voltage to generate a detecting voltage. The control unit is used for receiving the secondary voltage, and generating a pulse voltage whose duty cycle is variable with the detecting voltage. The voltage transforming unit is used for transforming the secondary voltage to a driving voltage for driving the luminous element to emit light according to the pulse voltage. A related electronic apparatus is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2010Date of Patent: August 7, 2012Assignee: Fitipower Integrated Technology, Inc.Inventors: Kai-Ping Lin, Chun-Hsin Yang, Wen-Cheng Shih

Patent number: 7746017Abstract: An exemplary fan driving system includes a driving device and a MOSFET group. The driving device includes a first adjustable resistor connected between its first voltage signal input terminal and ground, and a second adjustable resistor connected between its second voltage signal input terminal and ground. The MOSFET group includes two N-type MOSFETs and two P-type MOSFETs. The first terminal of the fan is connected to an anode of D1 and a cathode of D3. The second terminal of the fan is connected to an anode of D2 and a cathode of D4. Cathodes of the D1 and D2 are configured to connect a supply voltage. Anodes of the D3 and D4 both are grounded. The fan driving system can effectively discharge off the residual current in the coil of the fan at the moment of the MOSFET group being switched off.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2008Date of Patent: June 29, 2010Assignee: Fitipower Integrated Technology, Inc.Inventors: Kai-Ping Lin, Tsung-Jen Lin

Patent number: 7586340Abstract: An exemplary driving apparatus capable of generating a driving current, including: an analog input generating circuit, an analog input driving circuit, and an output circuit. The analog input generating circuit is electrically connected between a first voltage source and the ground and configured (i.e., structured and arranged) for supplying an adjustable analog signal. The analog input driving circuit is electrically connected between a second voltage source and the ground and configured for converting the analog signal into a pulsed signal. The output circuit is configured for converting the pulsed signal into a driving current as an output. The frequency of the pulsed signal can be adjusted via adjusting the analog signal and thereby varying the driving current. Thus the driving current can be adapted for the different target loads.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2007Date of Patent: September 8, 2009Assignee: Fitipower Integrated Technology, Inc.Inventors: Kai-Ping Lin, Kai-Chi Lin, Tsung-Jen Lin
