Sam B Bhattarai

Title: Sam B. Bhattarai and Integrated Circuit Power-Up Innovation.

Introduction

Sam B. Bhattarai is an inventor associated with Shakopee, Minnesota, and Seagate Technology Incorporated. His patent work addresses a challenge in powering integrated circuits, where different circuit blocks may require separate voltage levels that become available at different times during startup.

Latest Patents

The provided information lists one patent for Bhattarai: “Method and Apparatus for Integrated Circuit Power Up.” The invention describes a power booster circuit that temporarily supplies voltage to a second circuit block while the integrated circuit’s power supplies are starting up.

In the described system, a first regulator provides a first supply voltage from the main supply, and a second regulator uses that first voltage to provide a second supply voltage. Because the second voltage may take longer to reach its required level, the booster supplies a temporary voltage to the second circuit block during the interval between the first and second supplies reaching their respective levels. This approach is intended to support the circuit block during power-up.
