Publication number: 20240007099Abstract: A soft switching device (sw) for connecting a power supply to at least one large electronic unit of an electronic system (1), so as to be activated via the soft switching device to the power supply. The device comprises a switch component (M1) with a control terminal and a current source (13) connected to the control terminal to control the switch component closure when the current source is activated. The soft switching device also includes a soft transition element (C1) of capacitive type between the output terminal (12) and the control terminal of the switch component (M1) so as to gradually close the switch for connection to a power supply.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2023Publication date: January 4, 2024Applicant: EM Microelectronic-Marin SAInventors: Christoph KURATLI, Lubomir PLAVEC

Patent number: 8482386Abstract: The active transponder includes an input amplifier (26) arranged between an envelope detector (8) and a demodulation circuit (28). It further includes an activation unit (30) for the input amplifier and also for the demodulation circuit, which is formed by a frequency changer or mixer circuit (32), which decreases a significant modulation frequency of the modulated signal received by the antenna to a low frequency, the resulting low frequency signal then being amplified and filtered by low frequency elements. The activation unit thus consumes little electric power and sends a wake up signal to the elements operating at a high frequency when it detects said significant modulation frequency, in a very selective manner.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2010Date of Patent: July 9, 2013Assignee: EM Microelectronic-Marin S.A.Inventor: Christoph Kuratli

Patent number: 7307858Abstract: A battery powered headworn communication device and a method for conversion of a battery voltage in a battery powered headworn communication device, which includes providing a voltage reduction to a fixed part of the input voltage and providing a variable reduction that ensures that a minimum voltage is maintained. Preferably, the fixed part reduction and the variable reduction are performed in parallel and the fixed voltage conversion is a ? conversion of the input voltage. A fixed voltage conversion and the variable conversion can be balanced according to the actual battery voltage.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2003Date of Patent: December 11, 2007Assignee: Bernafon AGInventor: Christoph Kuratli

Publication number: 20060019721Abstract: The invention relates to a method for conversion of a battery voltage in a battery powered headworn communication device, the method comprising providing a voltage reduction to a fixed part of the input voltage and providing a variable reduction that ensures that a minimum voltage is maintained. Preferably the fixed part reduction and the variable reduction are performed in parallel and the fixed voltage conversion is a 2/3 conversion of the input voltage. Also advantageous is it when a fixed voltage conversion and the variable voltage conversion are balanced according to the actual battery voltage. The invention further relates to a battery powered headworn communication device.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 27, 2003Publication date: January 26, 2006Inventor: Christoph Kuratli
