摘要:
A protection circuit for use with a charger and a chargeable element, such as a rechargeable lithium ion battery, comprises a shunt regulator having a threshold ON voltage coupled in parallel across the chargeable element, and a temperature-dependent resistor, e.g., a positive temperature coefficient device, coupled in series between the charger and the chargeable element. The temperature dependent resistor is thermally and electrically coupled to the shunt regulator, wherein the first variable resistor limits current flowing through the shunt regulator if the current reaches a predetermined level less than that which would cause failure of the regulator, due to ohmic heating of the regulator.

A micronozzle device can include at least two layers stacked together to form a nozzle array. Each layer can include a plurality of microchannels that have inlet ports and exit ports. The exit ports can be oriented substantially perpendicular, parallel, or in the general direction of a central fluid flow pathway.

A MOSFET device for RF applications that uses a trench gate in place of the lateral gate used in lateral MOSFET devices is described. The trench gate in the devices of the invention is provided with a single, short channel for high frequency gain. The device of the invention is also provided with an asymmetric oxide in the trench gate, as well as LDD regions that lower the gate-drain capacitance for improved RF performance. Such features allow these devices to maintain the advantages of the LDMOS structure (better linearity), thereby increasing the RF power gain. The trench gate LDMOS of the invention also reduces the hot carrier effects when compared to regular LDMOS devices by reducing the peak electric field and impact ionization. Thus, the devices of the invention will have a better breakdown capability.
摘要:
The invention provides a semiconductor device that is thermally isolated from the printed circuit board such that the device operates at a higher temperature and radiates heat away from the printed circuit board. In another embodiment, the semiconductor is stacked onto a second device and optionally thermally isolated from the second device.
