Patent number: 11650615Abstract: A voltage generator circuitry includes first to third bipolar transistors having commonly-connected base electrodes, first and second current mirror circuitries, first and second differential amplifiers; a first resistor; and a current-voltage conversion circuitry. The first current mirror circuitry supplies currents to the first to third bipolar transistors and to the current-voltage conversion circuitry. The second current mirror circuitry supplies currents to the first to third bipolar transistors, and s to the current-voltage conversion circuitry. The first and second differential amplifiers control the first and second current mirror. The current-voltage conversion circuitry converts a sum current of the first and second currents into an output voltage.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2021Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: Synaptics Japan GKInventor: Yasuhiko Sone

Patent number: 10079514Abstract: In a non-contact power supply system, an electric power receiving device with suppressed heat generation is provided. The electric power receiving device is configured with a resonance circuit which includes a resonance capacity and a resonance coil acting as a receiving antenna, and receives electric power in a non-contact manner using resonant coupling of the resonance circuit. When receiving electric power, the electric power receiving device monitors the reception electric power received by the resonance circuit and controls the resonance frequency of the resonance circuit so as to keep the reception electric power from exceeding a target electric power level (PTGT). Accordingly, even when an electric power larger than the electric power required by the electric power receiving device is transmitted from the transmitting side, the electric power receiving device operates not to receive the electric power greater than the target electric power level.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2017Date of Patent: September 18, 2018Assignee: Renesas Electronics CorporationInventor: Yasuhiko Sone

Publication number: 20070159540Abstract: By flexibly coping with both image sensors of a CCD sensor and a CMOS sensor without providing any external circuit, a signal processing is performed. In a sensor selecting switch provided in an image-sensor signal-processing circuit, first and fourth switches are turned on when the CMOS sensor is connected, and second and third switches are turned on when the CCD sensor is connected. The sensor selecting switch is controlled by a control signal generated in a control circuit, based on sensor selection data which is stored in a register and which is data for selecting the CCD or CMOS sensor. By so doing, even if polarity of an output signal of the image sensor is reversed, a normal signal is inputted to both inputs of the CDS amplifier, whereby it is possible to flexibly cope with both of the CCD and CMOS sensors.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2007Publication date: July 12, 2007Inventors: Eiki Imaizumi, Takanobu Anbo, Yasuhiko Sone, Tatsuji Matsuura, Teruaki Odaka
