Title: Innovations of Shengming Huang
Introduction
Shengming Huang is a notable inventor based in Gourock, GB. He has made significant contributions to the field of voltage regulation, holding a total of 8 patents. His work focuses on enhancing the efficiency and reliability of voltage regulators, which are crucial components in various electronic devices.
Latest Patents
Among his latest patents is the "Regulator short-circuit protection circuit and method." This invention involves a signal source that generates a reference voltage, which a voltage regulator uses to produce an output voltage and current. During normal operation, a pass element generates the output voltage, while a sense element generates a sense voltage. A first voltage detector identifies a short-circuit condition using the sense voltage, and a second voltage detector deactivates the pass element in response to this detection. The second voltage detector also detects the removal of the short-circuit condition and automatically reactivates the pass element. Notably, both voltage sensors do not consume any direct current power during normal operation.
Another significant patent is the "Oscillation sensor for linear regulation circuit." This invention provides dynamic control over the connection and disconnection of a compensation capacitance. The compensation capacitor is disconnected during normal operation and is automatically connected if oscillation is detected in the output and the regulator's error amplifier. This rapid response helps to stop oscillations almost immediately, ensuring the stability of the regulator's performance.
