Title: The Innovations of Ted Dibene
Introduction
Ted Dibene is an accomplished inventor based in Olympia, WA (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of electrical engineering, particularly in the area of voltage regulation. With a total of 2 patents to his name, Dibene's work has had a notable impact on power management technologies.
Latest Patents
Dibene's latest patents include a voltage regulator with drive override. This invention presents techniques that enable voltage regulators to adjust for upcoming load changes. In some embodiments, a functional block, such as a microprocessor core with an associated clock signal, is powered by at least one switching-type voltage regulator. When the functional block is about to require an increased level of power, the associated clock drives the regulator switches, overriding their normal drive signal, which operates at a lower frequency. This allows the switches to be driven at a higher frequency just ahead of the load change, reducing the amount of droop that would otherwise occur.
Another significant patent is focused on methods and arrangements for generating a control signal for a power converter. In this invention, a digital data stream or binary sequence can be generated by a logic circuit, such as a processor. The sequence is converted into a series of pulses, allowing the content to accurately control a plurality of power transistors. This innovation enables a standard processor to provide a low-level logic signal as a serial digital transmission, controlling a power supply without significant modifications.
