Latest Patents
One of Allman's latest patents is a voltage regulator with a high gain cascode current mirror. This invention provides a voltage regulator that is especially adaptable for use with field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). The voltage regulator rapidly generates an operating voltage for the core logic elements upon the application of external power while preventing degradation of the fuses. The core voltage of an FPGA can be set to maximize performance with minimal power consumption or adjust propagation delays and switching rates to compensate for die-to-die variation. The voltage regulator is configurable as either a true voltage regulator or a pseudo-voltage regulator, addressing variations in electrical parameters from different wafer fabrication facilities. The design includes an operational transconductance amplifier with a single gain stage followed by an NMOS source follower, along with circuitry to enhance performance during the power-up sequence.
Another significant patent by Allman is a voltage regulator with a high gain cascode mirror. This invention features a bandgap generator that includes an MOS current mirror, first and second bipolar transistors, and an MOS transistor pair operating in saturation. The cascode transistors interconnect the saturation transistor pair and the MOS transistor pair, with a bias resistor linking one of the cascode transistors to one transistor of the MOS current mirror.
