  • Patent number: 11804840
    Abstract: An integrated circuit with self-reference impedance includes an input/output pin provided for connection to an external impedance, a local impedance, a reference power circuit, a switching circuit, and a control circuit. The switching circuit is configured to conduct a connection between the input/output pin and the reference power circuit in a first state and to conduct a connection between the local impedance and the reference power circuit in a second state. The control circuit is configured to detect whether the external impedance is connected to the input/output pin or not and to generate a detection signal. The control circuit controls the switching circuit into the first state or the second state according to the detection signal. In the first state, the reference power circuit generates a reference signal according to the external impedance. In the second state, the reference power circuit generates the reference signal according to the local impedance.

  • Patent number: 11774993
    Abstract: A power supply management device includes an internal power supply circuit, switches, a comparator circuit, and a control circuit. The internal power supply circuit is configured to output a first supply voltage to a node. The switches are coupled between the node and a plurality of first circuits. The comparator circuit is configured to compare a voltage on the node with a reference voltage when the node does not receive the first supply voltage to generate a flag signal. The control circuit is configured to determine whether the node receives a second supply voltage from an external power supply circuit according to the flag signal. If the node receives the second supply voltage, the control circuit is further configured to turn off the internal power supply circuit and gradually turn on the switches, in order to provide the second supply voltage to the first circuits via the switches.
