Title: Kanji Kitamura: Innovator in Isolator Circuits
Introduction
Kanji Kitamura is a prominent inventor based in Tokyo, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of electrical engineering, particularly in the development of isolator circuits. With a total of 2 patents to his name, Kitamura continues to push the boundaries of innovation in his field.
Latest Patents
One of Kitamura's latest patents is an isolator circuit that includes a first isolator, an AD converter, and a second isolator. The first isolator is designed to galvanically isolate a first terminal and a second terminal from each other. It receives an input pulse signal and outputs an output pulse signal to the second terminal. The AD converter then outputs a digital signal corresponding to the duty ratio of the output pulse signal. The second isolator also galvanically isolates the second terminal and a third terminal, receiving the digital signal and outputting a feedback pulse signal to the third terminal.
Another notable patent involves a comparator, AD converter, semiconductor integrated circuit, and rotation detector. This invention features a comparator that compares input voltages from a first and a second dynamic comparator with a reference voltage. Based on the comparison result, it selects either the output signal of the first dynamic comparator or the second dynamic comparator, controlling clock signals to stop the operation of the dynamic comparator whose output signal is not selected.
