Title: Rinze Meijer: Innovator in Power-Switch Technology
Introduction
Rinze Meijer is a notable inventor based in Herkenbosch, Netherlands. He has made significant contributions to the field of power-switch technology, holding two patents that showcase his innovative approach to electrical engineering.
Latest Patents
One of Rinze Meijer's latest patents is the "Power-switch test apparatus and method." This invention facilitates power switching by incorporating a plurality of switches that are coupled between a voltage supply and a switched voltage output. A test control circuit operates these switches to test a subset, indicating the condition of that subset independently from the overall condition of the power-switch apparatus. In some implementations, on-chip current loads are applied to emulate off-chip loads for testing individual switches or subsets of switches.
Another significant patent is the "Adjustable body bias circuit." This invention involves methods and circuits for body biasing in various instances. It includes controlling switches of a body bias switch circuit to place a first well of a first body bias island and a second well of a second body bias island in a first bias mode. The biasing can be a reverse body bias, a nominal body bias, or a forward body bias. The invention allows for changing the bias of both wells in response to bias-mode input.
