  • Publication number: 20240069090
    Abstract: A switch short-circuited diagnosis method includes steps of: determining an initial voltage interval of multiple voltage intervals according to voltage relationships between voltages of a first phase wire, a second phase wire, and a third phase wire; performing a switch short-circuited diagnosis of a first bidirectional switch module in the three consecutive voltage intervals from the initial voltage interval, and including steps of: turning on a first switch branch, a second switch branch, or a third switch branch of the first bidirectional switch module according to the voltage relationships between the voltages of the first, second and third phase wires, determining whether an overcurrent occurs to diagnose whether the first switch branch, the second switch branch, or the third switch branch of the first bidirectional switch module is in a short-circuited state, and performing the switch short-circuited diagnosis for the next voltage interval.

  • Patent number: 11178752
    Abstract: A circuit board with an electrostatic discharge protection mechanism and an electronic apparatus having the same are provided. The circuit board includes a substrate, at least one signal trace, and a conductive element. The at least one signal trace is disposed on the substrate. The conductive element is electrically connected to a ground plane of the substrate and crosses over the at least one signal trace. The conductive element has at least one discharging portion. The position of the at least one discharging portion corresponds to the at least one signal trace. A gap exists between the at least one discharging portion and the at least one signal trace. A static electricity of the at least one signal trace is discharged to the at least one discharging portion.

  • Publication number: 20190281721
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a circuit board and a conductive piece. The circuit board includes a hole and a grounding pad close to the hole. The conductive piece includes an insertion component and an enlarged grounding portion connected to the insertion component. The insertion component of the conductive piece is inserted into the hole of the circuit board and is electrically connected to the grounding pad, and a size of the enlarged grounding portion is larger than that of the hole.
