Patents by Inventor Chai-Wei Fu

Chai-Wei Fu 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).

  • Publication number: 20180292848
    Abstract: A voltage regulating circuit provides a feedback voltage and an output voltage based on a power voltage. The voltage regulating circuit includes a reference voltage generator and a compensating circuit. The reference voltage generator receives the power voltage, produces the feedback voltage, and includes an impedance having first and second terminals. The second terminal is coupled to a ground voltage and a first current flows through the impedance at the first terminal to produce the feedback voltage. The compensating circuit includes a negative threshold voltage (NVT) transistor having a source terminal, a drain terminal and a gate terminal. The source terminal receives a power voltage, the drain terminal is connected to the gate terminal and coupled to the first terminal of the impedance through a path to add a second current to the first current when the NVT transistor is turned on under an operational condition at the FF corner.
