Abstract:
A USB interface controller chip comprises a pair of signal ports for being connecting with a pair of USB signals and a power node for being connecting with a supply voltage characterized in that the controller chip is built-in with a pull-up resistor connected between the power node and one of the pair of signal ports, and the pull-up resistor has a resistance consistent to USB standard but has a tolerance larger than that defined by USB specification.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a mouse scroll input apparatus for controlling scrolling motions in a computer window, including a signal input device for generating an input signal in response to an operation of a mouse user, wherein a scrolling speed of the window is determined by a level of the input signal. According to the present invention, convenient operation can be achieved at low cost.
Abstract:
An automatic interface identification technique for an apparatus capable of supporting both USB and PS/2 interfaces comprises connecting a detector to first and second ports provided for the apparatus connected to a host computer through a USB or PS/2 interface. The detector has an interface detect function including a logic confirming mechanism and an interface identifying algorithm and a mode select function receiving first and second control signals such that the logic confirming mechanism is connected to the first and second ports by the interface detect function to detect the logic states of the first and second ports in association with the interface identifying algorithm to thereby correctly identify a USB or PS/2 interface is connected and to further determine USB or PS/2 mechanism in response to signal transmissions.
Abstract:
A current controlled complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor transconductive amplifier arrangement includes a first transconductive amplifier and a control circuit to control the transconductance of the first transconductive amplifier. The control circuit contains a second transconductive amplifier and an error amplifier formed in a feedback circuit, a current source to provide a current flowing through a resistor so as to supply an input voltage for the second transconductive amplifier, and a second current source and the output of the second transconductive amplifier coupled to the positive input of the error amplifier such that the transconductance of the second transconductive amplifier is in a linear relation with its bias current. The bias current of the first transconductive amplifier is mirrored from the bias current of the second transconductive amplifier by a current mirror, thus the transconductance of the first transconductive amplifier is linearly current controlled.
