  • Patent number: 8344802
    Abstract: An operational amplifier device includes an operational amplifier, a first transmission gate, and a first switch module. The operational amplifier includes an output stage, which has a first signal input terminal and a signal output terminal, and outputs an output voltage at the signal output terminal. The first transmission gate is coupled between the signal output terminal and a transmission output terminal, having a first transmission control terminal. The first switch module is utilized for controlling electrical connection between the first signal input terminal and the first transmission control terminal. During a first transmission period, the first switch module controls the first transmission control terminal to be coupled to the first signal input terminal, thereby conducting the first transmission gate to not only transmit the output voltage but also act as a Miller capacitor.

  • Patent number: 8289505
    Abstract: An operation method to operate a tilt sensor with power-saving mechanism is provided. The operation method comprises the steps as follows. An accommodating space is provided such that a blocking object is displaceable in the accommodating space according to the gravity. A working mode is performed such that a light-emitting element emits light according to a first current and at least two first light sensors sense a light amount to determine a tilt angle of the tilt sensor. When the light amount doesn't change or when a light amount variation sensed by a second light sensor is smaller than the threshold value within a predetermined time period, a power-saving mode is performed such that the light-emitting element emits light according to a second current smaller than the first current. When the light amount variation is larger than the specific value during the power-saving mode, the working mode is performed.

    Abstract: A tilt sensor with power-saving mechanism is provided. The tilt sensor includes a light-emitting element, a blocking object displaceable in an accommodating space on a baseboard, at least two first light sensors, a second light sensor and a control module. The first and the second light sensors respectively sense a light amount and a light amount variation according to the relative position of the light-emitting element and the blocking object.
