Florian NEVEU 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: 11870448
    Abstract: In described examples, a phase locked loop (PLL) includes a compensation circuit, a transconductance circuit, and an oscillator. The compensation circuit includes a capacitor circuit and a resistive element having a resistance responsive to a center frequency of the PLL's bandwidth. The transconductance circuit includes a current source and an error amplifier. The current source generates a current responsive to the center frequency. The error amplifier has a transconductance responsive to the center frequency, and receives a signal responsive to the resistance and a difference between an input clock signal and a feedback signal. The oscillator input is coupled to the error amplifier output. The oscillator provides a signal at its output for generating the feedback signal.

  • Patent number: 10447161
    Abstract: In an example, a dual-phase inverting buck-boost power converter for use with at least first and second energy storage elements includes an inverting buck-boost power converter and an inverting boost converter. In an example, the inverting buck-boost power converter is coupled between an input node and an output node of the dual-phase inverting buck-boost power converter and includes a first plurality of switches operable to couple to the first energy storage element, wherein the inverting buck-boost power converter is operable to supply a first load current. In an example, the inverting boost converter is coupled in parallel with the inverting buck-boost power converter between the input node and the output node of the dual-phase inverting buck-boost power converter and includes a second plurality of switches operable to couple to the first and the second energy storage elements, wherein the inverting boost converter is operable to supply a second load current.
