  • Patent number: 11736005
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a switched capacitor converter (SCC) with gate driving circuits for limiting currents provided by switching field effect transistors. Embodiments disclosed include an SCC with gate driver curcuits providing gate voltage signals to power FETs, each gate driver circuit comprising first and second gate driver modules and configured to operate in: a first mode in which the first gate driver module provides a gate voltage signal to a power FET that switches between first and second voltage rails by operation of first and second switches connected between the pair of voltage rails; and a second mode in which, in reponse to enabling of a current limit switching signal, the first gate driver module disables switching of one of the first and second switches and the second gate driver module operates to limit a current provided to the power FET.

  • Publication number: 20220375923
    Abstract: An integrated circuit includes two N wells from two different devices in close proximity to each other with each N well biased by two different terminals. The N wells are at least partially surrounded by P type regions that are biased by a terminal. The integrated circuit includes conductivity reduction features that increase the resistivity of current paths to a P type regions of one device on a side closest the other device. The integrated circuit includes two conductive tie biasing structures each located directly over an N type region of the substrate and directly over a P type region of the substrate. The two conductive tie biasing structures are not electrically connected to each other and are not electrically coupled to each other by a conductive biasing structure.

  • Patent number: 11165364
    Abstract: A synchronous rectifier converts an AC input into a DC output. The synchronous rectifier has four switches controlled by four switch control modules. Each switch is connected between a different AC component and either the DC output or ground. Each switch control module has digitally assisted “switch on” circuitry that detects “on” bounces in the corresponding AC component to control when to turn on the corresponding switch and digitally assisted “switch off” circuitry that detects “off” bounces in the AC component to control when to turn off the corresponding switch. The “switch on” circuitry has a digitally assisted comparator to detect threshold crossings in the AC component, and the “switch off” circuitry has a digitally assisted programmable delay cell to turn off the switch for a predetermined duration following each detected threshold crossing.

  • Patent number: 11050417
    Abstract: Gate-protection circuitry protects a transistor, such as a MOSFET, from large gate-to-source voltage differentials that can permanently damage the transistor's gate-oxide layer. A source-voltage detector selectively enables the gate-protection circuitry based on a source voltage of the transistor. The gate-protection circuit is implemented without any Zener diodes. The transistor may be a load switch that is selectively controlled to apply a supply voltage to a load.

  • Publication number: 20190203301
    Abstract: Disclosed are biomarkers, methods and assay for the identification of cancer patients who are predicted to benefit from the therapeutic administration of Wnt antagonist. The biomarkers include detection of RNF43 and ZNRF3 gene deletion, reduced RNF43 and ZNRF3 mRNA expression, reduced RNF43 and ZNRF3 protein expression, RNF43 and ZNRF3 inactivation mutation, phosphorylated LRP6, phophorylated Dishevelleds, and the expression of Frizzleds. These biomarkers can be associated with the better outcome for cancer patients treated with Wnt pathway inhibitors.

  • Publication number: 20180066067
    Abstract: The transmembrane E3 ubiquitin ligases ZNRF3 and RNF43 are negative regulators of ?-catenin and the Wnt signaling pathway in eukaryotic cells. The activity of ZNRF3 can be modulated by antibody binding to its extracellular domain, thus causing an increase in Wnt signaling. The ZNRF3 antagonizing antibodies can be used to treat diseases with low Wnt signaling, such as short bowel syndrome, osteoporosis, diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases, and mucositis. In addition, the antagonizing antibodies of the invention can be used to enhance Wnt signaling for tissue repair and wound healing.
