Patents by Inventor Xiao-Ming Duan

Xiao-Ming Duan 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).

  • Patent number: 9042068
    Abstract: The present invention provides a protection circuit. The protection circuit includes an output stage circuit and a feedback unit that generates a first current. Under a first condition that the first current is one of currents larger than and equal to a rated current and the first condition remains for a first period, the feedback unit controls the output stage circuit to restrict the first current. Under a second condition that the first current is one of currents larger than and equal to a restriction current and the second condition remains for a second period, the feedback unit controls the output stage circuit to terminate the first current.

  • Publication number: 20120161836
    Abstract: A charge pump device is provided. The charge pump device includes a clamping unit providing a first pulse and a second pulse having a phase identical to that of the first pulse, wherein each of the first and the second pulses has an amplitude; a charge pump unit outputting a first voltage in response to the first pulse and the second pulse; and a feedback unit outputting a second voltage in response to the first voltage, wherein the clamping unit adjusts the amplitude of one of the first pulse and the second pulse in response to the second voltage to regulate the first voltage.

  • Patent number: 7109692
    Abstract: A high-speed PWM control apparatus with adaptive voltage position and a driving signal generating method thereof is provided. The present invention automatically detects a change in the loading and adjusts the voltage position instantaneously for stabilizing the voltage and reducing the loading output power consumption. The present invention does not require a clock signal to generate a driving signal and does not require an error amplifier to control the modulation. Therefore, the present invention has a fast transient response that responds to the change of the loading instantaneously and has a stabilizing effect. When the apparatus is on a continuous conduction mode (CCM), the switching frequency of the controller is still fixed even though the input voltage Vin and the output voltage Vout are changed. The electrical-magnetic noise disturbance is improved.
