Publication number: 20120008241Abstract: An ESD protection circuit for reducing the regulator output capacitance includes a ground isolation circuit or a VCC isolation circuit to isolate regulator output from ground terminal or VCC terminal whenever ESD occurs, causing dropping of the differential voltage between regulator output and ground. The isolation circuits function to minimize the leakage current.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 6, 2010Publication date: January 12, 2012Applicants: PANASONIC SEMICONDUCTOR ASIA PTE., LTD., PANASONIC CORPORATIONInventors: Richard Hernandez GARCIA, Kian Teck TEO, Yoshinori ISHIKAWA, Wee Siong LOW, Terence Jin Min LIM

Patent number: 7800322Abstract: The electrical isolation circuit of the present disclosure includes a switch coupled between the DC power source and the electrical application and a comparator for controlling the switch by receiving inputs from the DC power source and the electrical application. The comparator causes the switch to switch ON when the DC power source has a higher voltage than the electrical application allowing the normal operation of the electrical application. However, when the electrical application has a higher voltage than the DC power source, the comparator causes the switch to switch OFF thereby preventing flow of current from the electrical application to the DC power source.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2006Date of Patent: September 21, 2010Assignee: STMicroelectronics Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd.Inventors: Yew-tat Chuah, Kian-teck Teo

Publication number: 20090102408Abstract: A backward pedaling detection circuit has a charging/discharging circuit for charging and discharging the external capacitor to meet the threshold voltage required by the hysteresis comparator, based on the input from the hall sensor. An internal pull-down circuit, based on the pedal speed, keeps the circuit from false triggering. A comparator with hysteresis (Schmitt trigger) sets the upper and lower threshold voltage and eliminates the effect of noise. AND gates act like switches to allow the selected signal to pass through.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2007Publication date: April 23, 2009Applicants: MATSUSHITA ELECTRIC INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD., PANASONIC SEMICONDUCTOR ASIA PTE., LTD.Inventors: Allan Candelaria DE JESUS, Yubin LIU, Tien Yew KANG, Kian Teck TEO

Patent number: 7411366Abstract: An electric power-assist system for a manually operated vehicle, such as a bicycle, has a pedal with Hall sensors for producing a signal representing a rotational speed of the pedal, and an electric motor for power assisting the driving force of the bicycle. A speed counter, speed decision block, up/down counter, and comparator are provided so that the power assist by the electric motor increases or degreases, as the speed of the manual controlling device increases or decreases, respectively.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2006Date of Patent: August 12, 2008Assignees: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd., Panasonic Semiconductor Asia Pte. Ltd.Inventors: Tien Yew Kang, Kian Teck Teo, Yubin Liu
