Abstract:
An optocoupler system includes a buffer, isolation, and a detector. The system includes a current transfer ratio (CTR) with a temperature coefficient. The buffer includes a light source that generates light that passes through the isolation. A detector receives light that passes through the isolation and generates an output signal based on the received light. A current transfer ratio (CTR) temperature coefficient compensation mechanism is provided that generates a base signal with a temperature coefficient that compensates the temperature coefficient of the CTR.
Abstract:
A computer enclosure includes a chassis (10), a resilient locking member (20), a cover (40), and a resilient member (30). The chassis comprises a bottom plate (12) and a side plate (16). The side plate defines a through opening (162) therein and has a flange (164) with slits (166) defined therein. The locking member is secured on the bottom plate and abuts on the side plate. A locking tab (244) with a slanted surface (246) extends from the locking member. The cover has a plurality of hooks (42) formed thereon. A blocking tab (442) is formed on the cover. The resilient member is secured between the side plate of the chassis and the cover, and resiliently deforms when the blocking tab of the cover is engaged with the locking tab of the locking member to block the cover sliding in a second direction parallel to the side plate.
Abstract:
A light sensor having first and second photodetectors and a current mirror is disclosed. The first photodetector receives a light signal and generates a light current proportional to the light intensity received by the first photodetector and a dark current that is independent of the light intensity. The second photodetector is connected in series with the first photodetector at a first node. The second photodetector has a covering that prevents light from reaching the second photodetector. The second photodetector generates a current equal to the dark current. The first photodetector is connected to a power source and the second photodetector is connected to an output node. The current mirror is connected to the first node and the output node and generates an output current that is proportional to the light current through the output node when the output node is connected to an external circuit.
