  • Switched capacitors with inverted break-before-make without external filtering load capacitor
    Patent number: 9768682
    Abstract: A charge pump circuit using more than one parallel source is described. A flying capacitor of the charge pump maintains a break-before-make time with respect to the switches within a side of the charge pump. A flying capacitor of the charge pump takes advantage of a make-before-break time with respect to the switches between the sides of the charge pump. This results in the shared load of the charge pump always receiving current from a flying capacitor. This slight change of control of the flying capacitor switching phases removes the need for a filtering capacitor within the charge pump.

  • Apparatus and method for a voltage regulator with improved output voltage regulated loop biasing
    Patent number: 9389620
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for a linear voltage regulator with improved voltage regulation is disclosed. A linear voltage regulator device with improved voltage regulation that combines good resiliency to noisy ground reference, high Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR), good current load regulation with changes in the current load and good feedback loop stability. The linear voltage regulator comprises of an amplifier, a current source, a pass gate, a current load, a first feedback loop, a second feedback loop, a second amplifier and second pass gate. A second feedback loop is formed to control the bias of the first feedback loop.
