Vijay Kanagala 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: 11689095
    Abstract: A gate drive control circuit is provided that charges a gate voltage of a power switch transistor during a power switch transistor on-time period. During a first portion of the on-time period, the gate drive control circuit charges the gate voltage through a relatively-low resistance. During a second portion of the on-time period, the gate drive control circuit charges the gate voltage through a relatively-high resistance. Finally, during a third portion of the on-time period, the gate drive control circuit charges the gate voltage through another relatively-low resistance.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20190199336
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a circuit structure including: a first transistor having a gate, a drain connected to a first node, a FDSOI channel region positioned between a source and the drain, a back-gate, separated from the FDSOI channel with a buried insulator layer positioned beneath the FDSOI channel, wherein the back-gate of the first transistor and a first input signal voltage are connected to the gate of the first transistor, and the source is connected to a first shared node; and a second transistor having a gate, a source connected to the first shared node, a drain connected to a second node, a FDSOI channel positioned between the source and drain, and a buried insulator positioned beneath the FDSOI channel and a back-gate, wherein the back-gate of the second transistor and a second input signal voltage are connected to the gate of the second transistor.
