Patent number: 10291116Abstract: An output control method for a controller includes the following steps. At each of detection time points, the controller detects a detection voltage value and a detection current value of a load. In a voltage control mode, the controller generates a setting parameter to control the power amplifier according to part of the detection voltage values. In a current control mode, the controller generates the setting parameter to control the power amplifier according to part of the detection current values. When the controller switches to the voltage control mode or the current control mode, the controller determines a ratio between the detection current value and the detection voltage value at one of the detection time points and the setting parameter is generated according to the ratio. Therefore, the bandwidth is substantially the same no matter if the controller operates in the voltage control mode or the current control mode.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2017Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: CHROMA ATE INC.Inventors: Tsz-Lang Chen, Ming-Chieh Lin, Wen-Min Yang

Patent number: 9128536Abstract: One of the advantages of direct frequency synthesis technique (e.g., flying-adder architecture) is its capability of generating arbitrary frequency by utilizing the time-average-frequency concept. In the clock output of the direct frequency synthesizer, instead of one type of cycle, there are two types of cycles. Unlike the conventional one-type-cycle clock wherein clock energy is concentrated at its designed frequency, Time-Average-Frequency based clock spreads some of its energy into spurious tones, which could be harmful to certain applications. The spurious tones are caused by the periodic carry sequence generated from a fractional part accumulator inside the frequency synthesizer. The invention suggests a method and an apparatus to break this periodicity and convert the spurious tones into broadband noise.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2012Date of Patent: September 8, 2015Assignee: NOVATEK MICROELECTRONICS CORP.Inventors: Liming Xiu, Ming-Chieh Lin
