  • Patent number: 8004264
    Abstract: A voltage converter to convert a high voltage to a low voltage is provided. The voltage converter comprises: a current mirror, a current bias, a plurality of loads and a low voltage output. The current mirror comprises a first PMOS and a second PMOS, wherein the source of the first PMOS and the second PMOS receive a high voltage input which is a supply voltage of the current mirror, and the gate of the first PMOS is connected to the drain of the first PMOS. The current bias is connected between the drain of the first PMOS and a ground potential. The plurality of loads are parallel connected between the drain of the second PMOS and the ground potential. And the low voltage output connected to the drain of the second PMOS.

  • Patent number: 7982412
    Abstract: A LED circuit comprises: an inductor, a group of LEDs, a capacitor, a power MOS and a switching circuit. The inductor is connected to a voltage supply and a first node; the group of LEDs is connected to the first node and a ground potential; the capacitor is connected to the first node and a ground potential; the power MOS is connected to the first node and a ground potential, wherein the gate of the power MOS receives a switching signal such that the capacitor is charged when the power MOS is turn on to further turn on the LEDs and the capacitor is discharged when the power MOS is turn off to turn off the LEDs. The switching circuit is to generate the switching signal.

  • Patent number: 7642805
    Abstract: A short detection circuit to detect a short condition in a backlight module, wherein the backlight module comprises a WLED circuit having a first terminal connected to an output voltage and second terminal connected to a driver IC. The short detection circuit comprises: a PMOS, a NMOS, a load and a detection module. The gate of the PMOS receives a first voltage and the source of the PMOS connects to the second terminal; the gate of the NMOS receives a reference voltage, the drain of the NMOS connects to the drain of the PMOS and the source of the NMOS connects to a detection terminal. The voltage of the detection terminal becomes a high state when the WLEDs have a short condition; and the detection module is connected to the detection terminal, when the voltage of the detection terminal becomes a high state, the detection module detects a short condition.

  • Patent number: 7332962
    Abstract: A double reference wave modulation scheme for filterless power amplifiers is disclosed for reducing EMI and common mode voltages. In the filterless power amplifier, differential outputs for driving load impedance are feedback and corrected based on input audio signals. Reference wave generators generate reference waves. A control logic results pulses in the pair of differential outputs in response to a clock signal or a reference voltage and a cross relationship between the input audio signal and the first and second reference waves. Pulses of one of the differential outputs are not overlapped with pulses of the other of the differential outputs for eliminating common mode noises of the power amplifier.
