Stepping motors are extensively adopted in electronic
consumer products such as DVDs, digital cameras and cellular phones
owing to their high-resolution position capability and miniaturized size.
However, a controller with external driving devices
increases not only the complexity of PCB layout, but also overhead
costs. Additionally, the conventionally adopted driving method incurs
an intolerable amount of vibration and generates much noise while
operating under the pulse-shaped driving signal. (NOTE : Add 2 more
sentences that describe characteristics of the problem or statistics that
reflect its severity) For instance, a 480 g-cm torque,
0.15W, 4.5V stepping motor under a no-load condition generates 50
dBA at 30 cm from motor housing. Such vibration
from a noisy stepping motor falls below consumer expectations and
decreases operational efficiency, ultimately lowering the market
competitiveness of new generation products. Therefore,
a control method with micro-stepping capabilities must be developed to
drive stepping motors smoothly by removing the vibration and noise
originating from a non-uniform force of motors.

A control method with micro-stepping capabilities can be
developed to drive stepping motors smoothly by removing the vibration
and noise originating from a non-uniform force of motors.
To do so, mathematic models of stepping motor and driving
waveform can be analyzed. The level of quasi-sinusoidal waveform
can then be easily calculated for a pre-given level of numbers. Next, a
driving circuit with a quasi-sinusoidal output current can be designed
with a DAC and a current drive circuit. As anticipated, the
proposed micro-stepping control method can locate precisely and
decrease vibration and noise originating from pulsed-waveform driving
by 10%. The proposed method can locate and minimize
vibration and noise during motor operation more than other
commercially available ones. (NOTE : Add 2-3 more sentences that
describe more thoroughly how the proposed method contributes to a
particular field or sector)

Small-format TFT LCDs require an analog video
decoder, while large-format TFT LCDs require a digital one. An analog
video decoder can convert composite video signals to RGB color
signals for delivery to panel data lines. Whereas small-
format TFT LCDs have two specific systems, NTSC and PAL,
conventional analog video decoders can only decode NTSC and PAL,
thus minimizing system flexibility. (NOTE : Add 3-4 more sentences
that describe characteristics of the problem or statistics that reflect its
severity). An analog video decoder must be
developed that can automatically sense and switch between NTSC and
PAL systems. An analog video decoder reduces the number of
peripheral components by around 20% owing to its ability to convert
NTSC and PAL signals in order to drive TFT LCDs simultaneously.
The analog video decoder eliminates the need to create different
designs for various video systems, e.g., NTSC and PAL. The user can
also switch between different systems without manually doing so.
Consequently, inadequate functions of an analog
video decoder limit product applications. Therefore, an
analog video decoder must be developed that can automatically sense
and switch between NTSC and PAL systems.

An analog video decoder can be developed that can
automatically sense and switch between NTSC and PAL systems.
To do so, a circuit for a video composite video signal
decoder can be developed, which contains a VCOM amplifier. Sensing
and switching functions can then be incorporated for differentiating
between specific systems, NTSC and PAL. Next, a PLL circuit can be
added since the demand frequency of PAL is 4.43 MHz. Additionally,
various system circuits, e.g., trap filters, can select various frequencies
for the signal process. Moreover, output stages can be equipped with
sufficient driving capability to deliver RGB signals to panel data lines.
As anticipated, the proposed analog video decoder can be
used to satisfy video functions requested and attain a high performance.
Capable of reducing the cost of system peripheral
components, owing to its integration of NTSC and PAL systems, the
analog video decoder is the first chip in video application in Taiwan
owing to its ability to decode both NTSC and PAL color signals.
Moreover, the proposed chip can enhance flexibility in system
applications and enhance user convenience.
