Title: Chih-Ping Tan: Innovator in Headphone Driver Circuits and Power System Protection
Introduction
Chih-Ping Tan is a notable inventor based in Chiunglin, Taiwan. He has made significant contributions to the field of electronics, particularly in the development of headphone driver circuits and power system protection technologies. With a total of 6 patents to his name, Tan continues to push the boundaries of innovation.
Latest Patents
One of his latest inventions is the "Half-voltage headphone driver circuit." This invention discloses a circuit that includes at least one operational amplifier providing an output to a headphone speaker. It features a charge pump that receives a supply voltage (VDD) and generates both a positive half-voltage and a negative half-voltage (VDD/2 and -VDD/2) based on the supply voltage. This design supplies the positive and negative half-voltage as high and low operation levels to the operational amplifier, enhancing the performance of headphone audio output.
Another significant patent is the "Arrangement and method for an integrated protection for a power system." This invention integrates two or three protection circuits—over current, thermal, and under voltage—into one protection circuit that operates independently. The protection points are dynamically adjusted in response to the detected conditions of the power system. By utilizing voltage and current conditions, this invention maximizes the performance of the power system while addressing process bias in the circuits.
