  • Publication number: 20160373007
    Abstract: A power supplier for generating a supply voltage is provided. The power supplier includes a PWM signal generator, a power conversion circuit, and first and second error amplifiers. The PWM signal generator generates at least one switching signal according to a voltage error signal. The power conversion circuit generates a switching voltage to an inductor according to the at least one switching signal so as to generate the supply voltage. The first error amplifier detects the difference between a positive voltage signal and a reference voltage. The second error amplifier detects the difference between a negative voltage signal and a ground voltage. Output terminals of the first and second error amplifiers are coupled to a first node. The voltage error signal is generated at the first node. The PWM signal generator modulates a duty cycle of the switching signal according to the variation of the voltage error signal.

  • Patent number: 9425150
    Abstract: An interconnect structure and a method of forming the interconnect structure are provided. Two wafers (and/or dies) are bonded together. A multi-via interconnect structure is formed extending from a backside of a first substrate to interconnect structures in the metallization layers on the first integrated circuit and the second integrated circuit. The multi-via interconnect structure may be formed by thinning a first substrate of a first wafer and forming a first opening through the first substrate. A second opening extends from the first opening to a first interconnect structure on the first wafer, and a third opening extends from the first interconnect structure on the first wafer to a second interconnect structure on the second wafer. The first, second, and third openings are filled with a conductive material, thereby forming a multi-via interconnect structure.

  • Publication number: 20160221821
    Abstract: A MEMS device for use in some embodiments in a microphone or pressure sensor and method of making the same wherein a portion of the package surrounding the acoustic port is deformed either away from, towards, or both away from and towards the interior of the package. By providing this raised area proximate the acoustic port, external debris is less likely to enter the acoustic port and damage the fragile MEMS die. Further, internal attachment material holding the MEMS die to the inside of the package is prevented by flowing into and obscuring the acoustic port. The advantages of this design include longer operation lifetimes for the MEMS device, greater design freedom, and increases in production yield.

  • Patent number: 8803799
    Abstract: In a screen protection system and method, a first operation temperature of an electronic device is detected from each of one or more first temperature sensors, and a first ambient temperature is detected from a second temperature sensor, when a display screen is activated. Once there is no operation on the electronic device, a timer is started timing. Once the electronic device is being operated, a duration is temporarily stored and the timer is reset. If the duration is equal to a screensaver time, a second operation temperature of the electronic device is detected from each of the first temperature sensors, and a second ambient temperature is detected from a second temperature sensor. The method further determines whether the electronic device is currently being held by a hand of a user, according to the above-mentioned temperatures. If the electronic device is not being held by a hand of the user, the display screen is controlled to be in an inactive state.

  • Patent number: 8751182
    Abstract: In a system and method for testing a serial port of a computing device, the serial port electronically connects to a test fixture. Test data is sent to a receive data (RXD) pin by a transmit data (TXD) pin. A test result is received from the serial port by the RXD pin. The TXD pin and the RXD pin work normally if the test data is identical to the test result. When voltages of a request to send (RTS) pin and a data terminal ready (DTR) pin are set at high level, the RTS pin, a data carrier detect (DCD) pin, the DTR pin, a ring indicator (RI) pin, a data send ready (DSR) pin and a clear to send (CTS) pin work normally, upon the condition that status values of the serial port indicate the voltages of the above six pins are at high level.
