20080260387 | OUTPUT CURRENT PUMPING CIRCUIT AND REMOTE CONTROLLER USING THE SAME - The present invention relates to a remote control IC having a circuit for pumping up current of an output port and a remote controller implemented to be capable of operating with one battery of about 1.5V using the IC. In the remote controller, an infrared LED emits light through the remote control IC, so that signals are transmitted to devices to be controlled such as a television set. In order to perform all functions normally even at low voltage and particularly to secure a sufficient transmission distance by driving the infrared LED, the present invention implements a remote controller comprising a remote control IC having a circuit for pumping up output current of an output port, which needs high output current, even at low voltage, and a battery of about 1.5V for driving the remote controller, wherein the infrared LED is driven by the pumped up output current of the output port of the remote control IC, whereby the remote controller can maintain a sufficient transmission distance with only one battery of about 1.5V. | 10-23-2008 |
