Matthew Ryan Parnell 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: 11777415
    Abstract: An amplifier system may include at least one input source, a converter configured to provide voltage rails to an amplifier, the voltage rails including a first voltage rail and a second voltage rail, a MOSFET arranged at a secondary side of the system at the first voltage rail, a second MOSFET arranged at the first voltage rail, a third MOSFET arranged at the second voltage rail, a fourth MOSFET arranged at the second voltage rail; and, a first capacitor arranged at the first voltage rail and a second capacitor arranged at the second voltage rail, the first and forth MOSFETS are configured to operate simultaneously with one another and the second and third MOSFETs are configured to operate simultaneously with one another and opposite of the first and fourth MOSFETs so as to allow synchronous rectification so that the first and second capacitors reciprocally and mutually exclusively charge and discharge.

  • Patent number: 11750164
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for controlling rail-voltages for amplifier output stages. In some examples, a method may include receiving sets of data values (e.g., at a power-supply control circuitry) for control of a rail voltage of an amplifier output stage. The method may also include determining that the receipt of a pending set of data values has been interrupted. Then, upon the determination that the receipt of the pending plurality of data values has been interrupted, the method may include decreasing the rail voltage to a non-boosted rail-voltage level.
