Patent number: 6636023Abstract: A voltage regulator having a regulator output operating at a predetermined output voltage level is disclosed. The voltage regulator includes a switching regulator that has a first regulated output providing a first output voltage level, where the first output voltage level is approximately equal to the predetermined output voltage. The first regulated output is coupled to the regulator output. The voltage regulator includes a linear regulator that has a second regulated output providing a second output voltage level, where the second output voltage level is less than the first output voltage level.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 1999Date of Patent: October 21, 2003Assignee: Juniper Networks, Inc.Inventor: Dilip A.

Patent number: 6552918Abstract: A space-efficient power supply powers a system and is housed in a small area of the system. The components of the power supply are designed to reduce heat generation and be aerodynamically efficient. Reduced heat generation reduces the need for air space around the power supply for cooling air, thus allowing the power supply to be housed in a small space. And because the components are aerodynamically efficient, space requirements are further reduced. In one embodiment the power supply is used in a system to power secondary power supplies. The secondary power supplies provide isolated power to components of a system, such as a communications system in an equipment box. In another embodiment, the power supply is used in an equipment box to power communications equipment distributed in the equipment box.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2000Date of Patent: April 22, 2003Assignee: Juniper Networks, Inc.Inventor: Dilip A.

Patent number: 6429706Abstract: A voltage sequencing circuit powers-up electrical systems by sequentially enabling a series of power supply lines to the electrical system. After each power supply line is enabled, the voltage sequencing circuit waits a pre-programmed delay time before enabling the next power supply line. The delay time allows the newly enabled power supply line to settle. Additionally, the voltage sequencing circuit constantly monitors previously enabled power supply lines while continuing to enable the remaining power supply lines. If any of the previously enabled lines fail, the voltage sequencing circuit disables the power supply line before reinitiating a complete power-up sequence.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2001Date of Patent: August 6, 2002Assignee: Juniper Networks, Inc.Inventors: Dilip A. Amin, Chang Hong Wu, Ross Heitkamp, Michael Armstrong

Patent number: 6044424Abstract: A system and method for minimizing disruption of operating power in a high-availability computer as new power supplies are hot-inserted. In the preferred embodiment, the high-availability computer includes a plurality hot-plug power supplies, a logic circuit system, and a power distribution system for distributing operating power from the power supplies to the logic circuit system. Preferably, the output capacitance of each power supply is significantly less than the total capacitance of the logic circuit system and the power distribution system, such that, as each power supply is hot-inserted into the computer, only a minute amount of electric charges will be transferred from the power distribution system and the logic circuit system to the power supply. As a small amount of charge transfer would generate only a small voltage drop, any glitch produced by hot-insertion would be significantly reduced.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 1997Date of Patent: March 28, 2000Assignee: Silicon Graphics, Inc.Inventor: Dilip Amin

Patent number: 5736843Abstract: An ultra low drop out power regulator is described. The power regulator may be used, for example, where a dynamically fast, and electrically clean power supply at the point of use is required. The power regulator is provided as a single part with two input voltages. The higher voltage input drive the output stage so that ultra low drop out is achieved. The disclosed regulator is therefore more efficient, resulting in less heat dissipation. The regulator is packaged in a stand up package thereby reducing board space. By use of a stand up package, air flow to other components is not blocked.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 1995Date of Patent: April 7, 1998Assignee: Silicon Graphics, Inc.Inventor: Dilip A. Amin

Patent number: 4122514Abstract: A direct current voltage power supply in which spaced pulses of current are made to flow through the primary winding of a power transformer. The anode-cathode path of an SCR device is connected from a point on a secondary winding to an output capacitor. A pulse width modulation circuit and a base drive circuit are connected between the output capacitor and the gate electrode of the SCR device so as to apply a pulse to the gate electrode that enables conduction between the source and drain electrodes whenever the voltage across the output capacitor drops below a given reference value.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 1976Date of Patent: October 24, 1978Assignee: Hewlett-Packard CompanyInventor: Dilip A.
