1Reliability

If a bias generation circuit is used to convert working voltage to bias voltage, then the bias voltage can be generated, but the bias voltage becomes unstable when other voltages in the circuit change

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the voltage stabilizing circuit continuously monitors the regulating node voltage and adjusts the bias circuit output accordingly. When voltage changes occur in the circuit, the feedback loop detects these changes and compensates by adjusting the bias voltage to maintain stability, directly resolving the contradiction between generating bias voltage and maintaining stability under voltage variations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a voltage stabilizing circuit as an intermediary between the bias circuit and the load. This intermediary component isolates the bias voltage from direct influence by other voltage changes in the circuit, acting as a buffer that maintains stable bias voltage output even when input voltages or load conditions vary.
