Integrated circuit for setting conditions based on impedance element characteristics
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11888475B2) discloses an integrated circuit designed to efficiently determine and store setting conditions for its operation. The circuit includes a terminal connected to an impedance element and a power supply, with a control unit that can change the potential of the impedance element's electrode connected to the terminal. By detecting changes in electrical characteristics based on the impedance element, the circuit can select from multiple setting conditions and store them for future use. The control unit also controls signal output to determine setting conditions based on transition states of the terminal's electrical characteristics, enhancing the circuit's operational efficiency.
Furthermore, the patent details variations in the impedance element, such as pull-up and pull-down resistors with different resistance values, connected to the terminal. The control unit can determine setting conditions based on the resistance values of these resistors, optimizing the circuit's performance. Additionally, the integrated circuit can be incorporated into circuit boards with multiple impedance element mounting positions, allowing for flexibility in selecting setting conditions based on the characteristics of the impedance elements mounted. Overall, the patented technology offers a sophisticated approach to setting condition determination in integrated circuits, potentially improving the functionality and performance of electronic devices utilizing this technology.
