Embodiments of the invention include a method of forming a nonvolatile memory device that contains a resistive switching memory element that has improved device switching performance and lifetime, due to the addition of a current limiting component disposed therein. The electrical properties of the current limiting component are configured to lower the current flow through the variable resistance layer during the logic state programming steps by adding a fixed series resistance in the resistive switching memory element of the nonvolatile memory device. In some embodiments, the current limiting component comprises a varistor that is a current limiting material disposed within a resistive switching memory element in a nonvolatile resistive switching memory device. Typically, resistive switching memory elements may be formed as part of a high-capacity nonvolatile memory integrated circuit, which can be used in various electronic devices, such as digital cameras, mobile telephones, handheld computers, and music players.

An electronic paper display device, a manufacturing method and a driving method thereof are disclosed. Micro protrusion members are formed at electrodes or at insulating layers. Consequently, the electrophoretic particles are prevented from being securely attached to an upper or the lower structure, and therefore, the quality of pictures is improved, and the contrast ratio of the pictures is increased. The relative sizes and the injection amounts of two kinds of electrophoretic particles are changed such that the relative sizes and the injection amounts of the electrophoretic particles are different from each other. Consequently, the driving voltage is lowered by excessively electrifying the electrophoretic particles of one kind. Protrusions are formed at the corresponding electrode such that a relatively large electric field is distributed around the electrode at which electrophoretic particles are located in the initial stage of voltage application. Consequently, the electrophoretic particles are easily separated from the electrode and moved even at low driving voltage. As such, the voltage level of the driving voltage pulse is lowered. Consequently, it is possible to further increase the response speed of the driving devices and to lower the internal voltage of the devices, thereby reducing the costs related to the driving devices.

A method for preventing an excess voltage from appearing at an output of a power over Ethernet controller, the method comprising: sensing that a powered device has been disconnected from a port; enabling a bypass path around a means for unidirectional current flow operatively connected to the port; and disconnecting power to the port responsive to the sensed disconnect, whereby the bypass path enables a discharge path for an output capacitor present across the port. The invention also provides for a circuit having a bypass path around a means for unidirectional current flow, the bypass path being enabled by a control circuit to prevent an excess voltage from appearing at a sensing input of the control circuit. In an exemplary embodiment the bypass path is enabled approximately simultaneously with disconnecting power from the output port.

A snubber circuit and corresponding power converter topology for controlling the voltage across the resonant capacitor at turn on of a control switch so as to suppress a spike at the switch caused by the large current pulse and parasitic inductance of the power converter. The suppression of the spike reduces conduction losses and increases efficiency.

A resonant capacitor and the second diode are connected in a series combination which is in parallel with the main boost diode. The second winding is connected in series with the first diode and the second diode between the output terminals of the converter. Alternatively, the snubber circuit is used in flyback, buck, and forward converter topologies.
