Yun-Chen Chuang 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: 10826429
    Abstract: A compensation module, an oscillation circuit and associated compensation method for reducing an oscillation frequency variation in an output oscillation signal of a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) core are provided. The compensation module includes a compensation circuit and a polarity selection circuit. The compensation circuit has a capacitance value related to voltages of a first and a second receiving terminals. The oscillation frequency variation is changed with the capacitance value. The polarity selection circuit conducts a periodic regulated signal to one of the first receiving terminal and the second receiving terminal. The polarity selection circuit conducts a filtered bias signal to the other of the first receiving terminal and the second receiving terminal. The periodic regulated signal is sensitive to a regulated voltage variation, and the filtered bias signal is insensitive to the regulated voltage variation.

  • Patent number: 10018970
    Abstract: A time-to-digital system and associated frequency synthesizer are provided. The time-to-digital system receives a reference clock and a variable clock. The time-to-digital system includes a supplement circuit and a time-to-digital converter (TDC). The supplement circuit generates a delayed reference clock signal and at least one pulse of a variable clock ahead of a transition of the delayed reference clock signal. The delayed reference clock signal is generated according to a delay control signal and the reference clock signal. The delay control signal is determined in response to transitions of the variable clock, and frequency of the variable clock is significantly higher than frequency of the reference clock signal. Being coupled to the supplement circuit, the TDC receives the delayed reference clock signal and the at least one pulse of the variable clock and accordingly produces a TDC signal.

  • Publication number: 20150042238
    Abstract: A driving method of multi-common electrodes and a display device are provided. The driving method includes following steps: providing a plurality of common voltages, in which the common voltages include a first common voltage and a second common voltage, and the first common voltage is different from the second common voltage. During a first period, the first common voltage is set to a first voltage level to drive a first common electrode of a first pixel region in the display panel, and the second common voltage is set to a third voltage level to drive a second common electrode of a second pixel region in the display panel. During a second period, the first common voltage is set to a second voltage level to drive the first common electrode, and the second common voltage is set to a fourth voltage level to drive the second common electrode.
