Akshay Godbole has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10566989
    Abstract: A system may comprise a high-pass filter having an input for receiving an input signal, an output for generating an output signal, a capacitor coupled between the input and the output, a switched-capacitor resistor coupled between the output and a reference voltage, and control circuitry configured to control the reference voltage to cancel current leakage into a circuit coupled to the output. The input, the output, the capacitor, and the switched-capacitor resistor may be arranged to generate the output signal as a high-pass filtered version of the input signal and the high-pass filter may be configured to operate in a plurality of modes comprising at least a high-impedance mode and a low-impedance mode in which the resistance of the switched-capacitor resistor is significantly smaller than the resistance when in the high-impedance mode.

  • Patent number: 10141946
    Abstract: A system may include an input for receiving an input signal, an output for generating an output signal, a capacitor coupled between the input and the output, a variable resistor coupled to the output and having a plurality of modes including a first mode in which the variable resistor has a first resistance and a second mode in which the variable resistor has a second resistance, and control circuitry configured to determine a difference between the input signal and the output signal and switch between modes of the plurality of modes when the difference is less than a predetermined threshold.
