Title: William Aubrey Mayfield: Patent Inventor in Power-Supply Technology

Introduction

William Aubrey Mayfield is an inventor associated with Rockwall, Texas, and Texas Instruments Corporation. His patent work addresses inrush-current control in power-supply systems. He is credited with 1 patent.

Latest Patents

Mayfield’s patent, “Inrush Current Control,” describes a power-supply system designed to manage current as a pass-transistor turns on. A variable voltage source incrementally increases the control voltage associated with the transistor, while an inrush-current monitor tracks the current flowing through it. If the current exceeds a predetermined limit, a voltage-control circuit halts the increase. This approach is intended to limit excessive inrush current during operation.

Career Highlights

Mayfield’s listed company affiliation is Texas Instruments Corporation. His patent reflects work on power-management circuitry and controlled voltage ramping.

Collaborations

The patent lists H. Pooya Forghani-Zadeh and Kee-Chee Tiew among Mayfield’s coworkers, indicating collaboration in the development of the inrush-current-control technology.

Conclusion

William Aubrey Mayfield’s patent documents a power-supply technique that monitors pass-transistor current and adjusts voltage ramping to help keep inrush current within a defined limit.
