Patents by Inventor Andrew D'Amico

Andrew D'Amico 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).

  • Power distribution architecture with series-connected bus converter
    Patent number: 11705820
    Abstract: Apparatus for power conversion are provided. One apparatus includes a power converter including an input circuit and an output circuit. The power converter is configured to receive power from a source for providing power at a DC source voltage VS. The power converter is adapted to convert power from the input circuit to the output circuit at a substantially fixed voltage transformation ratio KDC=VOUT/VIN at an output current, wherein VIN is an input voltage and VOUT is an output voltage. The input circuit and at least a portion of the output circuit are connected in series across the source, such that an absolute value of the input voltage VIN applied to the input circuit is approximately equal to the absolute value of the DC source voltage VS minus a number N times the absolute value of the output voltage VOUT, where N is at least 1.
