Abstract: A single-wire multi-device cascade addressing system is provided. In the multi-device cascade addressing system, a plurality of devices are arranged sequentially and connected in series with each other, and a first device and a final device among the plurality of devices are connected to a controller. The first device addresses itself according to an addressing command packet having an individual device identification address from the controller and outputs the adjusted addressing command packet to the next device. Each of the plurality of devices except for the first device addresses itself according to the addressing command packet from the previous device. Each of the plurality of devices except for the first and final devices adjusts the addressing command packet from the previous device, and outputs the adjusted addressing command packet to the next device. The final device transmits the addressing command packet from the previous device to the controller.

Abstract: A dimming control system having an asynchronous pulse width modulation mechanism is provided. When a transition in a level of a synchronous signal meets a specified transition, a width of a pulse wave that is currently generated in a pulse width modulation signal may not reach a preset pulse width. Under this condition, the dimming control system delays generating subsequent pulse waves of the pulse width modulation signal until the width of the pulse wave that is currently generated reaches the preset pulse width. Alternatively, the dimming control system forcibly transits the pulse wave that is currently generated from a high level to a low level to stop increasing the width of the pulse wave, maintains the pulse wave as an incomplete pulse wave, and increases widths of one or more of the subsequent pulse waves of the pulse width modulation signal.

Abstract: A method of adjusting brightness of a display device is provided. The method includes steps of: generating a synchronization signal having a plurality of periods each of which is a frame time; determining bit values of dithering data according to target brightness data; and determining how many pulse waves in the pulse wave width modulation signal need to be modulated within the frame time according to the bit values of the dithering data, and accordingly modulating widths of the pulse waves of the pulse wave width modulation signal.

Abstract: A system of driving and controlling a motor is provided. A main controller adjusts frequencies of all or some of pulse waves of an initial pulse width modulation signal to output a pulse width modulation signal according to instruction information. The adjusted frequency of each of the pulse waves is equal to a first preset frequency or a second preset frequency. When a motor driver drives the motor to stably rotate, the motor driver decodes each of the pulse waves having the first preset frequency into a first message and decodes each of the pulse waves having the second preset frequency into a second message. The motor driver arranges and combines all of the first messages and the second messages that are decoded from the pulse waves to obtain the instruction information. The motor driver executes an operation instructed by the instruction information.

Abstract: A system and a method of demodulating a frequency shift keying signal are provided.
