Abstract:
A DC-AC converter has two half-bridge circuits using an input feedback signal and an input clock signal together with time delay circuits, wherein one of the half-bridge circuits drives one pair of corresponding FETs and the other half-bridge circuit drives the other pair of corresponding FETs. The DC-AC converter includes: a Direct Current (DC) power source; a switching unit which includes a plurality of Field Effect Transistors (FETs) for changing paths of Direct Current (DC), so as to convert the DC to Alternating Current (AC); a transformer for transforming a voltage input from the switching unit; a load unit connected to the transformer; and a signal control unit for simultaneously parallel control of the FETs in the switching unit.
Abstract:
There is provided a bipolar transistor (with a respective fabrication method) that provides superior noise characteristics and gain diffusion. The fabricating method includes forming a first base region at a collector region, which in turn is formed on a substrate. A first silicon layer is formed on the base region, and a second silicon layer is formed on the first silicon layer using a forming method different from the method used in forming the first silicon layer. An emitter region is then formed from impurities at the base region by performing a thermal process.
Abstract:
A bias circuit for a smart power amplifier includes a high power mode bias circuit and a low power mode bias circuit, and operates only one of the bias circuits selectively using a switching circuit according to an input signal. Therefore, the bias circuit of high power mode and the bias circuit of the low power mode are divided and can be optimized according to characteristics of the power. Accordingly, a gain difference with respect to each power can be minimized and the low power mode can be controlled with a small amount of current in a state of initial current with a low power and in a middle power, such that an efficiency of the power amplifier can be improved at low power.
Abstract:
The prevent invention relates to a display apparatus having a display main body adapted to display a picture, a base part adapted to be mounted on an installation surface and supporting the display main body, and a stand part disposed between the base part and the display main body. A first hinge part is disposed between the display main body and the stand part to fold the stand part onto a rear of the display main body. A second hinge part is disposed between the stand part and the base part to rotate the base part between a supporting position where the base part is mounted in a substantially transverse direction with respect to the display main body and a folding position where the base part is mounted substantially parallel to a first end of the stand part. A locking assembly prevents and allows the base part from being and to be rotated between the supporting position and the folding position.

The switch is on during a test mode and is off during a normal mode. The switch controller is connected between at least two of the plurality of bonding pads and serves to control the switch in response to an external switching signal in the test mode. Because of this design, a number of DC voltage tests can be performed without increasing chip size since a general control pad also serves as a DC voltage test pad.
