A timed resistance increase speeds power-supply start-up while keeping output voltage stable under varying or negative input voltage.
MOS transistors and op-amp feedback replace inductive DC/DC conversion to deliver compact, higher-frequency current pulses for laser sources.
SPAD-based digital counting replaces analog TDI accumulation to cut readout noise and preserve high imaging quality at lower cost.
A shared-path clock divider keeps common and reduced frequency outputs at nearly the same delay, avoiding extra matching circuitry and power.
A movable stylus end cap uses electrical coupling and switch actuation to detect two pressure thresholds for distinct input commands.
A movable end cap uses capacitive coupling and switch actuation to add two stylus pressure commands without extra circuitry.
An intermediate conductive layer prevents ITO re-crystallization, enabling selective etching and avoiding short or open circuits in touch sensors.
A counting over signal stops further input at a set maximum code, preventing overcounting and improving semiconductor counting accuracy.
Visual, acoustic, or haptic feedback shows press duration thresholds, helping users trigger the right touch input quickly with less distraction.
Independent oscillators synchronize by matching periodic flags and resetting counters together, avoiding discontinuous timer values.
