Patents by Inventor Yoon-Woong CHUNG

Yoon-Woong CHUNG 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: 10548201
    Abstract: The power supply device includes a power switch including one terminal to which an input voltage is transferred; an inductor including one terminal connected to another terminal of the power switch; a diode connected between a ground and a floating ground; a sensing resistor connected between the floating ground and the one terminal of the inductor. A switch controller compares a modulation sensing voltage depending on a sensing voltage generated from the sensing resistor with a high peak reference and a low peak reference when a LED string is connected between an inductor and the ground. The switch controller controls a switching operation of a power switch according to the comparison result. The high peak reference and the low peak reference are references for controlling an upper limit and a lower limit of an LED current flowing through the LED string, respectively.
