  • Method of forming a programmable voltage regulator and structure therefor
    Patent number: 7382676
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a programmable voltage regulator stores data representing a programmable configuration of the regulator. The regulator is configured to verify the validity of the stored data before using it to control the operation of the programmable voltage regulator.
    Type: Grant

  • Integrated frequency selectable resonant coupling network and method thereof
    Patent number: 6889036
    Abstract: An integrated center frequency selectable resonant coupling network suited for use in an integrated circuit is disclosed. The network includes an integrated coupling transformer having a secondary winding for coupling to a load and a primary winding for coupling to a source; a first integrated capacitive circuit controllably coupled across one of the primary and secondary windings and when so coupled operable to resonate with the integrated coupling transformer at a frequency in a first frequency band; and a second integrated capacitive circuit coupled across a second one of the primary and the secondary windings that is operable to resonate with the integrated coupling transformer at a frequency in a second frequency band.
