摘要:
An improved optically controlled power supply regulator in which an optoisolator transistor is controlled by an input light emitting diode replaces an optically controlled power supply regulator with a light emitting diode controlled with a light dependent resistor. The optically controlled power supply regulator utilizes a capacitor and a resistor to reduce loop response oscillation in order to prevent the optically controlled power supply regulator from being shut down on a system board.

An electronic circuit package in which several high voltage components are packaged along with low voltage components using standard circuit boards and minimizing the space needed for the entire assembly. A miniature circuit board, constructed of standard circuit board material, is used to mount several electronic components, some of which require high voltages. To meet isolation requirements, requiring a dielectric strength more than that provided by the board itself, between the high and low voltage nodes the circuit board incorporates slots or other cut out shapes in the board. The slots or other cut out shapes provide two functions. The first use for the slots or other cut out shapes is to prevent charge migration on the surface of the board between high and low voltage nodes. This is accomplished by placing the slots or other cut out shapes between high and low voltage nodes. The circuit board is then encapsulated within a potting material. The slots or other cut out shapes perform a second function of allowing the potting material to flow around and through the board to facilitate full encapsulation of the board and the electronic devices on the board. Several of the slots or other cut out shapes are placed in the board directly underneath the electronic devices mounted on the board to aid in allowing the potting material to completely surround and encapsulate the electronic devices.

A method in which several high voltage chips may be packaged within a single, typically low voltage plastic package. The high voltage chips are packaged to remain electrically isolated from each other to avoid undesirable side effects such as arcing between the chips but able to share electronic data and communicate with each other electronically through their input and ouput nodes. Due to the unique packaging method, the typically low voltage plastic packaging can be made to withstand operating voltages up to 35 times greater than previously attained by such low voltage plastic packaging.

Described are various compensation circuit designs to ensure proper shutoff of an unselected transducer in a transducer switching matrix. The switch of an unselected transducer is moved to a strong OFF state by injection of a compensation current. The compensation network is implemented as semiconductor integrated circuits which provide a high-voltage column switching diode, and a compensation switch. The compensation switch and column switching diode are configured such that they are isolated from each other.

A high power MOSFET semiconductor having a high breakdown voltage. The new power device concept that reaches an area of a lower specific on-resistance, higher breakdown voltage and reduced device silicon area. This device architecture is built on the concepts of charge compensation in the drift region of the device. Where, the doping of the vertical drift region is increased by one order of magnitude. To counterbalance the added charges, fine-structured wells of opposite doping type to the drift region are introduced as part of the device structure. The charge compensation wells do not contribute to the on-state current conduction, therefore, this novel new generation of high voltage device architecture breaks the limit line of silicon. This architecture may extend to higher material resistivity and larger geometry to increase the voltage to 1kv plus.

The ink in an ink jet is sensed by a capacitor, one plate of which is coupled to ground through the ink. The absence of ink will appear as a decreased amount of capacitance. In this case the charge of the capacitor will leak off faster, and a sample and hold circuit can sense this to output a signal indicating the absence of ink. The charging signal can either be generated on the chip, which is made from silicon, or can be supplied to the chip. The number of pins on the chip taken for this sensing function can be minimized by multplexing the states of signals supplied to the chip for other purposes to generate the necessary signals to control and operate this sensor.
