    摘要: A signal is caused to have a small amplitude without increasing a voltage source, and power consumption is reduced. A semiconductor circuit includes a driver, and a pulse control circuit that controls the driver. The driver has a configuration in which first and second transistors are connected. The pulse control circuit supplies a first control signal to the first transistor, and supplies a second control signal to the second transistor. The first and second control signals to be supplied from the pulse control circuit are different in a pulse width from each other. Therefore, the pulse control circuit reduces an output amplitude of the driver.

    摘要: A port controller device includes a pull-up resistor, a switching circuit, an enabling circuitry, and a protection circuitry. The pull-up resistor is configured to be coupled to a port, in which the port is configured to be coupled to a channel configuration pin of an electronic device. The switching circuit is configured to selectively transmit a supply voltage to the port via the pull-up resistor according to a first control signal, and turn off a signal path between the pull-up resistor and the port according to a second control signal. The enabling circuitry is configured to generate the first control signal according to an enable signal and the supply voltage. The protection circuitry is configured to generate the second control signal in response to a voltage from the port when the supply voltage is not powered, in order to limit a current from the port.
