Abstract:
An inductor module comprising: a first inductor, comprising a first inductor area; and a second inductor, comprising a second inductor area. A first overlapped area of the first inductor area and a second overlapped area of the second inductor area are overlapped. The second overlapped area comprises at least one first magnetic direction area and at least one second magnetic direction area. A ratio between a size of the first magnetic direction area and a size of the second magnetic direction area is a predetermined ratio such that a coupling effect between the first inductor and the second inductor is lower or equals to a predetermined value.
Abstract:
A detecting circuit includes: a testing signal generator, arranged to selectively generate a testing signal having a first signal edge or a second signal edge to a connecting port; and a detector, arranged to detect a first detect signal on the connecting port after the testing signal having the first signal edge is coupled to the connecting port, and to detect a second detect signal on the connecting port after the testing signal having the second signal edge is coupled to the connecting port; wherein the detector is further arranged to determine if an external circuit element is coupled between the connecting port and a reference voltage according to the first detect signal and the second detect signal.
Abstract:
A driver circuit for receiving a data input and generating an output signal to a termination element according to at least the first data input is provided. The driver circuit includes a first output terminal, a current mode drive unit and a voltage mode drive unit. The current mode drive unit is arranged for selectively outputting a first reference current from the first output terminal to the termination element according to the first data input, and selectively receiving the first reference current through the first output terminal according to the first data input. The voltage mode drive unit is arranged for coupling one of a first reference voltage and a second reference voltage different from the second reference voltage to the first output terminal according to the first data input.
