  • Adaptive gate driver strength control
    Patent number: 8985850
    Abstract: An adaptive algorithm running on a processing device receives a temperature value that represents a temperature at a gate terminal of a transistor. The adaptive algorithm, determines a drive strength value that represents a drive strength for a signal based on the temperature value. A signal with the determined drive strength is applied to the gate terminal of the transistor.

  • Bi-directional architecture for a high-voltage cross-coupled charge pump
    Patent number: 6418040
    Abstract: An apparatus comprising a circuit configured to generate an output voltage having a magnitude greater than a supply voltage, where the output voltage is (i) a positive high voltage when a first input is in a first state and a second input is in a second state and (ii) a negative high voltage when the first input is in the second state and the second input is in the first state.
