Patents by Inventor Gerald Mündel

Gerald Mündel 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).

  • Semiconductor component
    Patent number: 6936866
    Abstract: A vertical or lateral semiconductor component derives a signal from a high load voltage. This signal can be used directly for driving the semiconductor component or, alternatively, a control device.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 22, 2001
    Date of Patent: August 30, 2005
    Assignee: Infineon Technologies AG
    Inventors: Gerald Deboy, Gerald Mündel
  • Semiconductor circuit and switch-mode power supply
    Patent number: 6577509
    Abstract: The invention relates to a semiconductor circuit having a drive circuit, a load that is disposed between a supply voltage, and a controllable, clocked semiconductor switching element for clocked switching of the load. The invention furthermore relates to a switch-mode power supply having such a semiconductor circuit.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 21, 2002
    Date of Patent: June 10, 2003
    Assignee: Infineon Technologies AG
    Inventors: Gerald Deboy, Gerald Mündel, Harald Zöllinger
  • Schottky transistor with low residual voltage
    Patent number: 4178603
    Abstract: A planar transistor has its base-collector-pn-junction bridged with a Schottky diode, wherein the degree of coupling of the Schottky diode is modified by means of a semiconducting layer with non-homogenous doping.
