  • Publication number: 20060139019
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a DC-to-DC step-up converter to which a logic control unit is added in order to reduce the ripples of a DC output voltage and improve the power quality. The converter of the present invention comprises a step-up circuit, a ring oscillator, a divider circuit, a PFM (pulse frequency modulation) comparator and a logic control unit. The step-up circuit is used to step up a source voltage to generate a DC output voltage. The ring oscillator is used to generate an oscillator output signal. The divider circuit receives the DC output voltage to generate a feedback voltage. The PFM comparator compares the feedback voltage with a reference voltage to generate a comparator output signal to control outputting of the oscillator output signal.

  • Patent number: 6809130
    Abstract: A halogen-free, phosphorus-free poly-cyclic compound is used a flame retardant. This compound has amide and hydroxy groups, and thus it is able to react with an epoxy resin to form a reactive type flame-retardant advanced epoxy resin. The advanced epoxy resin together with an inorganic additive are mixed with an epoxy resin to form a halogen-free, phosphorus-free flame-retardant epoxy composition, which can be used in the manufacture of a printed circuit board and as an encapsulation material for a semi-conductor device.

  • Patent number: 6642674
    Abstract: A twin dimming controller for backlight system is disclosed. In the present invention, the output of pulse width modulation modulator is used as a reference voltage of error-feedback amplifier and frequency compensation loop in backlight controller having pulse dimming control, and meanwhile, the output of pulse width modulation modulator is sent to the output terminal of error-feedback amplifier and frequency compensation loop. Therefore, by utilizing the present invention, the peaked lamp current and the working period of lamp current are adjusted at the same time for adjusting the output power of lamp, and with the same working period of lamp current, the dimming range is broader, and the minimum power consumption of lamp is decreased substantially.
