  • Patent number: 8120267
    Abstract: A LED driving circuit includes a bridge rectifier, a high-bias-voltage diode, a balancing capacitor, a driving chip, and a switch. The bridge rectifier receives external AC power and outputs a full-wave or half-wave AC power. One terminal of the high-bias-voltage diode and one terminal of the balancing capacitor are electrically coupled to a balancing node. The other terminals of the high-bias-voltage diode and the balancing capacitor are electrically coupled to the bridge rectifier and grounded respectively. The driving chip receives operating power from the balancing node, and outputs driving signals to operate the switch, so as to drive an LED. Through the arrangement of the forward bias voltage direction of the high-bias-voltage diode, the balancing capacitor is only discharged to the driving chip. Therefore, the capacitance value and the volume of the balancing capacitor, the space occupied by the driving circuit, and the cost of the driving circuit are reduced.

    Abstract: A surge protection device is coupled between a car power source and an output voltage end of a car charger. The surge protection device includes a diode, a current-limiting resistor, and a first transient voltage suppressor (TVS). The diode has an anode coupled to the car power source and a cathode coupled to the car charger. The current-limiting resistor has one end coupled to the anode of the diode. The first TVS is connected to the current-limiting resistor in series, and is connected in parallel with the current-limiting resistor between the car power source and the car charger. A reverse breakdown voltage of the first TVS should be smaller than a reverse breakdown voltage of the diode.

  • Publication number: 20060109239
    Abstract: A peripheral device for computers or similar electronic devices includes a combination of a cursor controller, such as computer mouse, including a displaceable casing and a numeric keypad having at least one functional key and a plurality of numeric keys formed on a surface of the casing. A displacement detection mechanism is arranged inside the casing to detect the displacement of the casing. A control circuit converts the detected displacement into displacement signals transmitted through a cable or a wireless communication device to a computer, which in turn controls the movement of a screen cursor. The control circuit is reversibly switchable from the cursor control mode into a keypad mode in which the control circuit receives actuation of the keys and applies corresponding signals to the computer device.
