Title: Yat Tung Lai: Innovator in Automatic Gain Control and Low-Voltage Detection

Introduction

Yat Tung Lai is a prominent inventor based in Hong Kong, CN. He has made significant contributions to the field of electronics, particularly in the areas of Automatic Gain Control (AGC) and low-voltage detection technologies. With a total of 7 patents to his name, Lai continues to push the boundaries of innovation.

Latest Patents

One of Lai's latest patents is the "Automatic Gain Control (AGC) for On-Off Shift-Keying (OOK) receiver." This invention features a non-continuous AGC that sets gain at the beginning of each frame, locking the gain setting for the remainder of the frame. This design prevents OOK data from causing AGC loop instability. The AGC controller initializes the gain settings for a Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA), Low-Pass Filter (LPF), and a Programmable Gain Amplifier (PGA) in series, which powers a rectifier generating a voltage output to a 1/0 data decision circuit. A level detector compares the voltage output to two thresholds, adjusting the gain settings accordingly.

Another notable patent is the "Low-power voltage detector for low-voltage CMOS processes." This invention utilizes a diode ladder with one or more diodes connected in series between a battery voltage input and an upper measuring node. The design includes a measuring diode and a resistor connected in series to generate a battery voltage measurement, showcasing Lai's innovative approach to low-voltage detection.
