Patents by Inventor Ching-Ji Huang

Ching-Ji Huang 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: 7830203
    Abstract: A system-on-a-chip and a power gating circuit thereof are provided. The power gating circuit includes a first transistor, a charge pump circuit, and a hold circuit. A gate terminal of the first transistor is controlled by a first input signal. A first source/drain terminal of the first transistor is coupled to a first voltage. A second source/drain terminal of the first transistor outputs an output voltage. The charge pump circuit is coupled to a bulk terminal of the first transistor for changing a bulk voltage of the first transistor according to a second input signal. The hold circuit is coupled to the bulk terminal of the first transistor for holding the bulk voltage of the first transistor.
