Patents by Inventor Greg Vansickle

Greg Vansickle 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).

  • Reduced component digital to analog decoder and method
    Patent number: 8031093
    Abstract: An n bit D/A decoder is formed using P-type and N-type transistor switches, instead of convention CMOS switches. Each P-type and N-type switch may be formed of fewer transistors than those used to form a CMOS switch, thereby reducing the overall transistor count. The decoder may be used to decode digital values to non-linear GAMMA corrected analog output voltages.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 31, 2007
    Date of Patent: October 4, 2011
    Assignee: ATI Technologies ULC
    Inventors: Kongning Li, Charles Leung, Grigori Temkine, Milivoje Aleksic, Steven Turner, Greg Vansickle, Kevin O'Neil
