Patent number: 8476876Abstract: A voltage-modulated circuit device uses a power source of a modulation circuit to acquire a predetermined trigger voltage through a voltage acquisition circuit and a step-down circuit to step down a voltage, and then a voltage amplification circuit amplifies the voltage by several times, such that the trigger voltage amplified by several times still falling within the range of predetermined voltage values triggers and conducts a switch circuit, and the power source of the modulation circuit can flow from an anode to a cathode in order to supply an electric power with a step-down voltage. With the design of triggering the conduction, the voltage of the modulation circuit can be modulated automatically to maintain the electric power supplied to the circuit device within the range of required voltage values, only if the trigger voltage has the predetermined voltage value.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2010Date of Patent: July 2, 2013Inventor: Ta-I Liu

Publication number: 20120026634Abstract: A voltage detection circuit device acquires a predetermined compare voltage through a voltage acquisition circuit by a power source of a power supply circuit. After a voltage step-down circuit steps down a voltage, the compare voltage acts as a voltage reference, and high and low potential comparators of the compare circuit compare the voltage of a power source of the power supply circuit. If the voltage of the power source of the power supply circuit falls within a normal range, the high potential comparator will output a high potential signal, while the low potential comparator will output a low potential signal. After an electronic circuit supplied with electric power receives the electric potential signals, the electronic circuit starts its operation. By determining whether or not the voltage of the power supply falls within the normal range, damages to the electronic circuit by abnormal power supply can be prevented.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2010Publication date: February 2, 2012Inventor: Ta-I LIU

Patent number: 8058932Abstract: A digital pulse width modulation device includes a counter, a first comparator and a second comparator, wherein the first and second comparators are connected in parallel with each other and in series with the counter. The counter is capable of sending a count signal to the first and second comparators simultaneously, starting a count when the counter receives a clock signal, and transmitting the count signal to the first and second comparators. If the first comparator receives a pulse duty width signal, the count of the count signal will generate a pulse output of the corresponding duty cycle. If the second comparator receives a total pulse duty length signal and the count of the count signal reaches a number of the total length, a clear signal will be outputted to the counter to reset the counter to zero, so as to achieve the effect of correcting the output pulse.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2010Date of Patent: November 15, 2011Inventors: Ta-I Liu, Chung-Chih Tung
