To accurately determine the patent term adjustments (PTA), patent term extensions (PTE), continuation/divisional applications, related family members, and the projected expiration date for US patent 9318609, a direct search of the USPTO database (specifically Patent Center or PAIR) for the patent is required. Information regarding PTA is calculated by the USPTO at the time of patent issuance and is included in the Issue Notification Letter. PTE is typically granted for patents on certain human drugs, food or color additives, medical devices, animal drugs, and veterinary biological products to compensate for time lost during premarket regulatory review.

Based on the information available from the patent text provided:

Patent Term Adjustment (PTA):
The patent document itself (US9318609B2) does not explicitly state the Patent Term Adjustment. This information is typically provided in the Issue Notification Letter by the USPTO. To get the precise PTA, one would need to access the official patent prosecution history via USPTO's Patent Center. PTA is an addition to the 20-year lifespan of a utility or plant patent and is intended to compensate for delays caused by the USPTO during the prosecution of the application.

Patent Term Extension (PTE):
There is no indication in the patent document (US9318609B2) that a Patent Term Extension (PTE) was applied for or granted. PTEs are generally reserved for patents covering products that undergo pre-market regulatory review, such as pharmaceuticals and medical devices, to restore patent term lost during that review period. Given the nature of this patent (semiconductor device), it is highly unlikely to be eligible for a PTE.

Continuation Applications:
US9318609B2 is listed as a divisional of U.S. application Ser. No. 13/913,511, filed on Jun. 9, 2013. This means that 13/913,511 is a parent application.

Divisional Applications:
The patent US9318609B2 itself is a divisional application of U.S. application Ser. No. 13/913,511.

Related Family Members:
The patent text explicitly states that US9318609B2 is a "division of U.S. application Ser. No. 13/913,511, filed on Jun. 9, 2013". U.S. application Ser. No. 13/913,511 eventually issued as US8993384B2. Therefore, US8993384B2 is a related family member (the parent patent). The "Priority date" for US9318609B2 is 2013-06-09, which aligns with the filing date of the parent application, US13/913,511.

Projected Expiration Date:
The anticipated expiration date stated in the patent information is 2033-06-09. This date is calculated as 20 years from the earliest effective filing date, which in this case is the priority date of 2013-06-09 (the filing date of its parent application US13/913,511), plus any Patent Term Adjustment (PTA). However, the patent explicitly notes "Anticipated expiration 2033-06-09" and states that this is an "assumption and is not a legal conclusion. Google has not performed a legal analysis and makes no representation as to the accuracy of the date listed." To confirm the exact expiration date, including any PTA, one would need to consult the official USPTO records for the patent, as PTA can adjust the term.
