He is known for his contributions to the field of power systems, particularly through his innovative patent that enhances the efficiency of switch mode power converters. His work has significant implications for reducing costs in regulated power systems.
Latest Patents
Sherman's most notable patent is titled "Advanced monitoring algorithm for regulated power systems with single output flag." This invention presents an improved method of monitoring the output power provided by a switch mode power converter. The method initiates a soft-start procedure for the first output voltage when the first voltage channel is enabled. Once the first voltage level is within regulation, a delay counter counts a predetermined number of clock cycles. If a second output voltage channel is enabled during this time, a soft-start procedure is initiated for the second voltage, and the delay counter restarts when the second voltage is regulated. After the delay counter completes its count, both voltages are considered stable, and a single Power-Good signal is asserted. This innovation ensures that if one channel is disabled while the other remains enabled, the disabled channel is ignored, maintaining the PGOOD signal to indicate that the power provided by the converter is stable.
