Title: Yong Guo Li and Voltage Regulating Module Design

Introduction

Yong Guo Li is an inventor associated with Gilroy, California, and Tesla, Inc. His patent work includes a voltage regulating module design that addresses component arrangement and clearance around a fastener.

Latest Patents

Li is credited with 1 patent, titled “Voltage Regulating Module Design for the Use of Underfill.” The invention describes a voltage regulating module with two stacked layers. The first layer outputs a regulated voltage based on a stepped-down voltage, while active components in the second layer provide that stepped-down voltage. Contacts, such as a ball grid array, are positioned on the first layer.

The design also features overlapping recesses in the two layers, with the first layer’s recess having a larger footprint. Multiple modules can be arranged to create an opening with a counterbore for a fastener, such as a bolt. The first layer provides greater clearance from the fastener than the second layer.

Career Highlights

Li’s listed company affiliation is Tesla, Inc. His patent describes a layered voltage-regulation architecture and a module arrangement designed to accommodate fastening hardware.
