  • Patent number: 10345157
    Abstract: An on-chip temperature sensing device is disclosed. The disclosed on-chip temperature sensing device is capable of sensing an environmental temperature of the chip. The device comprises a reference generating circuit, a first oscillator, a second oscillator, and an arithmetic logic unit. The reference generating circuit is configured to generate a first control voltage to control the first oscillator and the second oscillator. The bias current of the first oscillator and the bias current of the second oscillator are both controlled by the first control voltage so that the bias current of the first oscillator is directly proportional the bias current of the second oscillator regardless the environmental temperature. The first oscillator generates a first oscillation signal, while the second oscillator generates a second oscillation signal. The arithmetic logic unit may calculate the environmental temperature according to the first oscillation signal and the second oscillation signal.

  • Patent number: 8907905
    Abstract: A sensing device placed in a touch sensing system of a display device includes a selector, a sensing module, and a detection module for determining touch signals generated by the touch sensing system. The selector selects two of the touch signals according to at least one selection control signal. The sensing module comprises a first differential amplifier for comparing the selected touch signals and producing a first differential signal according to first control signals. According to second control signals, the detection module receives the first differential signal, generates an averaged sensing value and a reference value, and compares the averaged sensing value with the reference value to produce a second differential signal. Thereby, the touch sensing system uses the second differential signal to generate the first control signals and the second control signals to control the operation of the touch sensing system.

  • Patent number: 8698568
    Abstract: An automatic self-calibrated oscillation method and an apparatus using the same are provided. After a static time tuning (STT) table and a run time tuning (RTT) table have been established, the apparatus converts an output clock signal to generate a current RTT value at every predefined time and then compares the current RTT value with a reference RTT value generated in response to a STT value of the STT table, or with an interpolated result generated in response to the reference RTT value to generate a deviation value. Thus, through the deviation value, the output clock signal may be calibrated to address the target frequency without the assistance of external reference clock unit or locked loop unit after the STT table and the RTT table are established.
