Latest Patents

Berkol is associated with 1 patent: “Floating High-Voltage Switch with Open-Loop Impedance Control.” The invention addresses changes in a switch’s on-resistance caused by process, voltage, and temperature variations. It calibrates the gate-to-source voltage using a low-temperature-coefficient resistor, current references, and feedback. A replica transistor is matched to a reference resistor, and the resulting calibration is applied to the floating high-voltage switch through control of the replica gate driver’s bias current. The patent describes simulation results showing a significant improvement in on-resistance variation.
