Abstract: A heating apparatus includes: first and second heaters, first and second switches, first and second ramp signal generation circuits, a signal processor circuit, first and second comparison circuits, and a switch control circuit. The first and second ramp signal generation circuits generate first and second ramp signals according to first and second output currents, respectively. The signal processor circuit senses a temperature to generate a temperature-related signal. The first and second comparison circuits compare the first and second ramp signals with the temperature-related signal, to generate a first PWM signal and a second PWM signal for controlling the first and second switches respectively, to determine the first and second output currents so that there is a predetermined ratio between average powers of the first heater and the second heater.

Abstract: A charger circuit with temperature compensation function includes: a power converter, an input voltage sense circuit, an output adjustment circuit and a charging control circuit. The power converter converts an input voltage supplied from a photovoltaic power module to an output voltage. The input voltage sense circuit generates a signal related to the input voltage according to the input voltage. The output adjustment circuit generates an output adjustment signal according to the signal related to the input voltage. The charging control circuit generates a control signal according to the output adjustment signal, thereby adjusting a level of an output current supplied from the power converter. When a level of the input voltage is smaller than a predetermined voltage threshold, the power converter decreases the output current.
