Gaurav Mital 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: 11817725
    Abstract: A charger device includes a Single-Input-Multiple-Output (SIMO) device and a controller. The SIMO device includes a first transistor connected to an input and a first end of an inductor, a second transistor connected to ground and the first end of the inductor, a third transistor connected to a second end of the inductor and a first output, and a fourth transistor connected to the second end of the inductor and a second output. The controller is connected to the SIMO device and is configured to cause the SIMO device to charge the inductor using a first power source coupled to the input during a first time period and discharge the inductor to charge a second power source coupled to the first output during a second time period.

  • Patent number: 11728730
    Abstract: A power converter is disclosed. The power converter includes a Single-Input-Multiple-Output (SIMO) device includes a first transistor connected to an input and a first end of an inductor, a second transistor connected to a second end of the inductor and a first output, and a third transistor connected to the second end of the inductor and a second output. The power converter also includes a controller connected to the SIMO device and is configured to maintain a minimum inductor current through the inductor between charging cycles and to cause the minimum inductor current to transition to a charging inductor current during a charging cycle. The charging inductor current is based on a difference between an output voltage signal and a target voltage signal.
