  • Publication number: 20230327568
    Abstract: A detector compares a drain voltage with a first threshold voltage and outputs a first detection signal. An ON counter detects a period of time during which a current flows in a switching, counts the period of time based on a predetermined clock cycle. An OFF counter detects a period of time during which a current flow through the body diode in a state where no current flows in the switching circuit, counts the period of time. An off-time setting circuit sets the time to turn off the switching circuit. A first comparison circuit compares the cycle count value with turn off time. A second comparison circuit compares a cycle count value output by the ON counter with a comparison result output by the first comparison circuit and outputs a signal to stop transmitting a PWM signal.

  • Patent number: 10334218
    Abstract: A video reproduction device (100) reproduces expanded video data (DV1) whose brightness dynamic range is wider than a standard video. The video reproduction device (100) includes a brightness information adjustment unit (150). The brightness information adjustment unit (150) changes first output brightness levels of the expanded video data (DV1) to second output brightness levels. When the expanded video data (DV1) is reproduced at a second reproduction speed faster than a first reproduction speed which is a normal speed, the brightness information adjustment unit (150) reduces the first output brightness levels to the second output brightness levels.

  • Patent number: 10298135
    Abstract: A device and method for controlling a power supply. The method includes: monitoring a feedback signal of a feedback terminal; determining whether the feedback signal of the feedback terminal is not a pulse signal; and terminating an on/off operation of a switching element when the feedback signal of the feedback terminal is not a pulse signal. Therefore, an abnormal status of the device can be correctly detected with a simple structure when the feedback terminal is open or is shorted with other terminals, while an error operation and a damage of the device can be avoided.
