Patents by Inventor Wei-Hang CHIU

Wei-Hang CHIU has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Chip, heating circuit and heating control method for chip
    Patent number: 11967510
    Abstract: A heating circuit is provided. The heating circuit is disposed in a chip which has a normal operation temperature range. The heating circuit includes a comparison circuit and a thermal-energy generation circuit. The comparison circuit compares a temperature voltage with a first threshold voltage. The temperature voltage represents a temperature of the chip. The thermal-energy generation circuit is controlled by the comparison circuit. When the temperature voltage is less than the first threshold voltage, the comparison circuit enables the thermal-energy generation circuit to generate thermal energy to raise the temperature of the chip.
