Abstract:
Disclosed is a caster control apparatus for a suspension of a vehicle. When the vehicle travels on a road which causes a vehicle body to lean to one side, the caster of a lowered wheel is increased, and the caster of a raised wheel is decreased, such that the casters of the wheels on both sides are offset with each other. Therefore, the vehicle is inhibited from leaning due to the lateral slope of the road, and the straight-line stability of the vehicle can be reliably maintained.
Abstract:
A differential amplifier and a method for generating a computer simulation model thereof are disclosed. The device is thermally stable through adoption of a ballast resistor to a differential structure of a unit transistor pair, such that the differential amplifier prevents heat effect phenomena, such as performance deterioration and device destruction by heating, and, at the same time, improves or maintains other performances, thereby achieving high gain, high efficiency, high linearity, and wide bandwidth characteristics. Therefore, the differential amplifier can be easily designed as undesired effects of parasitic resistor of emitter or via or bonding wire, etc. for the differential amplifier are reduced in a differential mode.

The via-electrodes may have upper parts (heads) protruding from the upper surface and lower parts (ends) protruding from the lower surface. The stacked semiconductor devices may be electrically connected to each other through the via-electrodes. A first adhesive film (e.g., patternable material) and a second adhesive film (e.g. puncturable material) may be formed between the stacked semiconductor devices. The stacked structure of semiconductor devices may be mounted on the upper surface of a printed circuit board (PCB) having a mount-specific adhesive film to form a semiconductor device package. The mounted stacked structure and the upper surface of the PCB may be further covered with a molding material.
Abstract:
Multi-chip package includes first through Nth semiconductor chips, each of which includes an input/output pad, an input/output driver coupled to the input/output pad, and an internal circuit. Each of the first through Nth semiconductor chips includes an internal pad for coupling the internal input/output driver and the internal circuit. The internal pads of the first through Nth semiconductor chips are coupled to each other such as via a common pad installed at a substrate. The input/output pad of the first semiconductor chip directly receives an input/output signal transmitted via a corresponding pin of the multi-chip package. The second through Nth semiconductor chips indirectly receive the input/output signal via the internal pads coupled to each other. The multi-chip package can improve signal compatibility by maintaining a parasitic load of a pin to at least the level of a single chip, when a signal is transmitted to the pin at high speed. Also, when a signal that is not necessarily transmitted at high speed is applied to a pin, semiconductor chips can be packaged according to the preexisting methods.

Input signals input through the external connection terminals are input to the internal circuits of the first chip or the second chip via the chip pads and the input/output buffers of the first chip, and the connection pads of the first chip and the second chip.
