Patents by Inventor Amer Hani Atrash

Amer Hani Atrash 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: 7814450
    Abstract: Systems and methods for transmitting a signal having a desired phase at the device are disclosed. The systems and methods further include determining a signal path length to a device over a transmission line and adding a delay to a signal to be transmitted over the transmission line. The determination is made in response to determining the path length to the device.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 29, 2007
    Date of Patent: October 12, 2010
    Assignee: Texas Instruments Incorporated
    Inventors: Roland Sperlich, Amer Hani Atrash
  • Patent number: 7439796
    Abstract: A current mirror circuit that allows for over voltage stress testing includes: a first transistor; a second transistor having a gate coupled to a gate of the first transistor; a switch coupled between the gate of the first transistor and the drain of the first transistor; a bias source coupled to a control node of the switch such that the switch is ON during normal current mirror operation, and the switch is OFF during over voltage stress testing; and a clamp coupled between the control node of the switch and a source node.

  • Patent number: 7109697
    Abstract: An operational amplifier having temperature-compensated offset correction. The amplifier includes an operational amplifier circuit, that has a first input field effect transistor (FET) having a gate connected to receive a first input signal, and a second input FET having a gate connected to receive a second input signal, the first and the second input FETs being connected together to receive a first bias current, and also being connected to respective sides of a first current mirror. A correction amplifier circuit is also provided, that has a first correction FET having a gate, and a second correction FET having a gate, the first and the second correction FETs being connected together to receive a second bias current, and also being connected to respective sides of a second current mirror.
