Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a die including a first contact with a first shape (e.g., a ring-shape contact) and second contact with a second shape different from the first shape (e.g., a cylindrical-shape contact). The first contact has an opening that extends through a central region of a surface of the first contact. A first solder portion is coupled to the surface of the first contact and the first solder portion has the first shape. A second solder portion is coupled to a surface of the second contact and the second solder portion has the second shape. The first solder portion and the second solder portion both have respective points furthest away from a substrate of the die. These respective points of the first solder portion and the second solder portion are co-planar with each other such that a standoff height of the die remains consistent when coupled to a PCB or an electronic component.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an ambient light sensor formed by a substrate, and an inner central area defined on the substrate, and a concentric polygonal shape defined on the substrate about the inner central area. The concentric polygonal shape is defined by concentric polygonal isolation regions and spoke shaped isolation regions extending through respective corners of the concentric polygonal isolation regions to the inner central area to thereby divide the concentric polygonal shape into a plurality of concentric polygonal regions, with each of the plurality of concentric polygonal regions divided into a plurality of trapezoidal sections. A plurality of photodiodes ae formed on the substrate such that each of the plurality of trapezoidal sections contains at least one photodiode. A color filter is applied to the plurality of trapezoidal sections and their respective photodiodes to thereby form a plurality of color channels.

Abstract: An AC capacitor is coupled to a totem-pole type PFC circuit. In response to detection of a power input disconnection, the PFC circuit is controlled to discharge the AC capacitor. The PFC circuit includes a resistor and a first MOSFET and a second MOSFET coupled in series between DC output nodes with a common node coupled to the AC capacitor. When the disconnection event is detected, one of the first and second MOSFETs is turned on to discharge the AC capacitor with a current flowing through the resistor and the turned on MOSFET. Furthermore, a thyristor may be simultaneously turned on, with the discharge current flowing through a series coupling of the MOSFET, resistor and thyristor. Disconnection is detected by detecting a zero-crossing failure of an AC power input voltage or lack of input voltage decrease or input current increase in response to MOSFET turn on for a DC input.

Abstract: Described herein is a device including mirror control circuitry for controlling a movable mirror. The mirror control circuitry includes drive circuitry for providing a drive signal to the movable mirror, and a processor. The processor cause the drive circuitry to generate the drive signal so as to have pulses with leading edges occurring an offset period of time after a maximum opening angle of the movable mirror and trailing edges occurring an offset period of time before a zero crossing of the movable mirror. The processor may sample a mirror sense signal from the movable mirror at times at which a derivative of capacitance of the movable mirror with respect to time is zero, and then perform an action based upon the samples.

Abstract: A projector includes a mirror quasi-statically driven by a drive signal to scan a laser beam in a pattern. A drive circuit generates the drive signal so the mirror moves in a non-linear fashion, yielding unwanted resonances. The non-linearity results in movement of the mirror through a first projection area, into a dead zone, and into a second projection area. The laser beam is emitted as the mirror moves through the first and second projection areas, but not the dead zone. A controller samples a feedback signal of the mirror as it moves through the first and second projection areas, producing first and second projection area sample which are processed to produce first and second ripple measurements. First and second correction signals are generated as a function of the ripple measurements. The drive circuit applies the correction signals to the drive signal so that the unwanted resonances are attenuated.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a control circuit for a movable mirror. The control circuit includes driving circuitry configured to drive the movable mirror with a drive signal to effectuate oscillating of the movable mirror, opening angle determination circuitry configured to determine an opening angle of the movable mirror, and amplitude control circuitry. The amplitude control circuitry is configured to a) first cause the driving circuitry to generate the drive signal as having an upper threshold drive amplitude, and b) then later cause the driving circuitry to generate the drive signal as having a nominal drive amplitude, as a function of the opening angle of the movable mirror being equal to a desired opening angle.

Abstract: A device described herein includes a movable MEMS mirror, with a driver configured to drive the movable MEMS mirror with a periodic signal such that the MEMS mirror oscillates at its resonance frequency. A feedback measuring circuit is configured to measure a signal flowing through the movable MEMS mirror. A processor is configured to sample the signal at first and second instants, generate an error signal as a function of a difference between the signal at the first instant in time and the signal at the second instant in time, and determine the opening angle of the movable MEMS mirror as a function of the error signal.
