Latest Patents

“Method of Driving a Power Converter by Using a Power Pulse and a Sense Pulse” describes a method for regulating a switching converter’s output voltage. The method senses an output-voltage feedback signal and compares it with a reference at a selected point in the switch’s operating cycle. Based on that comparison, the system controls whether a drive-signal cycle switches the converter on, regulating the voltage delivered to the load.

“Power Converter Driven by Power Pulse and Sense Pulse” describes a converter with a switch, pulse-generation circuitry, a comparator, and a controller. The comparator evaluates a feedback signal representing the load’s output voltage against a reference. The controller uses the comparator’s output to determine which, if any, drive-signal cycle will operate the switch.

Career Highlights

Geber’s listed patent work focuses on power-conversion control, particularly the coordination of power pulses and sensing pulses. These approaches use feedback and timed switching decisions to regulate converter output.

Collaborations

Geber is associated with Iwatt Inc. His listed coworkers include Mark D. Telefus and Dickson T. Wong.

Conclusion

Charles R. Geber’s patent work at Iwatt Inc. centers on feedback-based switching methods for power converters, with the goal of controlling output voltage and power delivery.
