    Abstract: A smart card is provided. The smart card includes a peripheral circuit configured to control a fingerprint sensing array and generate a raw image, an authentication information processing module configured to process the raw image into fingerprint information for verification, a security module configured to determine whether the fingerprint information for verification matches registered fingerprint information to determine usage approval or disapproval for a payment request, and an active shield overlapping the security module. The peripheral circuit, the authentication information processing module, and the security module are integrated into one chip.

    Abstract: A dual-mode switching D.C.-to-D.C. converter includes a power conversion unit and a switch driver. The power conversion unit generates a D.C. output voltage based on a switch driving signal and a D.C. input voltage. The switch driver performs frequency compensation on the D.C. output voltage to generate a feedback voltage, and compares the feedback voltage with a comparison input signal to generate a pulse-width-modulated signal. The switch driver compares the D.C. output voltage with a first reference voltage to generate a comparison output signal. The switch driver generates the switch driving signal based on the pulse-width-modulated signal in a normal operation mode, and generates the switch driving signal based on the comparison output signal in an abnormal operation mode. The normal operation mode and the abnormal operation mode are based on a load current flowing through a load connected to the switching D.C.-to-D.C. converter.
