Abstract:
An electronic device includes a motion sensitive power switching integrated circuit, which, in turn, includes a power switch connected between an input and an output, and a MEMS inertial sensing switch movable from a first position to a second position based upon motion thereof. The motion sensitive power switching integrated circuit also includes a detector operating the power switch to supply power to the output from the input based upon the MEMS inertial sensing switch moving from the first position to the second position. The first and second positions may be, respectively, a normally open position and a closed position. The device may be unpowered until the MEMS inertial sensing switch moves from the open to the closed position. The detector may generate a power on reset (POR) signal based upon the MEMS inertial sensing switch moving from the open to the closed position.
Abstract:
A noise compensating device in a discrete time control system, for a R/W system for hard disks, including: a control loop (21-24) generating a first timing signal (T 1 ), a signal indicative of a quantity to be controlled (S POS ), and a control signal (S CONTR ), which have a first frequency (F 1 ) ; and an open loop control line (27) which generates a compensation signal (S COMP ) synchronous with the control signal (S CONTR ) and includes a sensor (17). The sensor includes a sensing element (30), generating an analog signal (V M ), an acquisition stage (31), connected to the sensing element (30) and generating a disturbance measure signal (S ACC ) correlated to the analog signal (V M ) and synchronous with the control signal (S CONTR ), and a synchronization stage (32). The synchronization stage (32) includes a frequency generator (42) having an input receiving the first timing signal (T 1 ) and a first and a second output (42b, 42c) connected to the acquisition stage (31) and generating, respectively, a second timing signal (T 2 ) and a third timing signal (T 3 ).
