This invention provides a power supply comprising a mother board, a first socket, and a DC-DC converter module. The mother board comprises a transformer operative for transforming an input power into a first AC output power and a filter operative for receiving the first AC output power and filtering the first AC output power into a first DC output power. The first socket is mounted on the mother board and electrically coupled to a circuitry of the mother board by way of at least one conductor terminal operative for providing the first DC output power. The DC-DC converter module mounted on a printed circuit board electrically coupled to the mother board comprises a DC-DC converter operative for receiving the first DC output power and converting the first DC output power into a second DC output power and a third DC output power and a second socket operative for providing the second DC output power and the third DC output power by means of a conductive path of the printed circuit board. There are several advantages including the reduction of the use of the conductive wires, the improvement of the efficiency of the power supply, the simplicity of the circuitry of the power supply, and the easy replacement of the broken component because the DC-DC converter module is mounted on an individual printed circuit board different from the mother board.

An insulated-gate field-effect transistor (100) provided along an upper surface of a semiconductor body contains a pair of source/drain zones (240 and 242) laterally separated by a channel zone (244). A gate electrode (262) overlies a gate dielectric layer (260) above the channel zone. Each source/drain zone includes a main portion (240M or 242M) and a more lightly doped lateral extension (240E or 242E) laterally continuous with the main portion and extending laterally under the gate electrode. The lateral extensions, which terminate the channel zone along the upper semiconductor surface, are respectively largely defined by a pair of semiconductor dopants of different atomic weights. With the transistor being an asymmetric device, the source/drain zones constitute a source and a drain. The lateral extension of the source is then more lightly doped than, and defined with dopant of higher atomic weight, than the lateral extension of the drain.

The speaker module of the present invention is capable of greatly increasing the fill rate of the sound-absorbing particles in the sound-absorbing cavity of the rear acoustic cavity of the speaker module, thus allowing the space of the rear acoustic cavity of the speaker module to be fully utilized and the sound-absorbing particles to fully exert the effects thereof in improving the acoustic properties of the speaker module, and greatly increasing the acoustic properties of the speaker module.

A technique, for drawing power from the external signal circuit to power on-chip elements for an integrated circuit diode (ICD), utilizes an integrated diode and capacitor. The capacitor is charged by the external applied voltage during the time the ICD blocks the external current flow. The charged capacitor then acts as a battery to power the on-chip circuits to provide active control for the ICD function. This ICD could be provided as a two terminal discrete diode, or integrated onto a larger IC. This same technique can be utilized for a “self powered” MOSFET IC (ICM), utilizing a low power logic signal to trigger an internal circuit which would provide a much larger gate drive than the logic signal could provide. This could also be provided as discrete three terminal components, or integrated into a larger IC.
