  • Publication number: 20160301352
    Abstract: An example method for controlling an electric motor in an electric tool includes detecting travel of the trigger, selecting a smoothing coefficient N according to travel of the trigger in a predetermined time, driving the electric motor with an output duty ratio which is figured out by a formula in which the smoothing coefficient N is a denominator so as to cause the output duty ratio to be lesser than a preset duty ratio. The methods described will decrease the current impact on electric motors when users pull the trigger.

    Abstract: A touch display device and a method for driving the same are provided. The touch display device includes a display panel and a touch panel. In the method, the touch display device provides a source output signal and outputs a plurality of pixel voltages during an enable period of the source output signal to drive the display panel. The touch display device periodically reduces the enable period of the source output signal according to a horizontal synchronization signal corresponding to a turned-on sequence of each row of pixels, so as to establish a touch sensing period. Based thereon, the touch sensing circuit scans the touch panel during the touch sensing period that does not overlap with the enable period of the source output signal, so as to obtain sensing signals for accurately indicating electrical variations of the touch panel.
