Abstract:
An ADC includes an analog signal input port for receiving analog signals, a reference voltage generation circuit for producing a reference voltage, a controllable switch, a control unit including a counter, an integral circuit, and a comparison circuit. The control unit outputs an on or off signal to turn on or turn off the controllable switch, the counter starts to count when the control unit outputs the off signal. The integral circuit executes an integral action to integrate the reference voltage and output a voltage enhanced gradually when the controllable switch is turned off. The comparison circuit outputs an interrupt signal to cause the counter to stop counting when comparing the voltage output by the integral circuit is higher than the voltage of the analog signals. The control unit determines a digital value corresponding to the analog signals according to a count value of counted by the counter.
Abstract:
A handheld electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes an electrode unit, a storage unit, and a processing unit. The electrode unit includes a main body defining an annular cavity, a plurality of electrode groups, and a conductive element arranged within the annular cavity, wherein each of the plurality of the electrode groups includes a pair of conductive sheets, which are partially received in the annular cavity and are spaced apart from each other. When the electronic device is rotated to be in different orientation, the conductive element connects different electrode groups and the conductive sheets of the one of the electrode groups are connected to each other via the conductive element. The processing unit determines the connected electrode groups and executes a function corresponding to the determined electrode group. A function control method of the handheld electronic device is also provided.
Abstract:
A lighting system, a dimming control apparatus, and a dimming control method are provided. The dimming control apparatus includes a control unit and a dimming driving unit. In response to a dimming command and a number, the control unit decodes the dimming command into a plurality of sub-dimming commands. The dimming driving unit has a plurality of output terminals for coupling to a plurality of lamp modules. According to the sub-dimming commands, the control unit controls the dimming driving unit to output a plurality of dimming driving signals corresponding to the lamp modules to adjust the brightness of each lamp module individually.
