Patent number: 8502317Abstract: A level shifter circuit for integrated circuits has one or more inputs that operate in a first voltage domain, and a signal output that operates in a second voltage domain. In some embodiments, the level shifter circuit receives two complementary input signals. The level shifter uses cross-coupled PMOS transistors with drain-bulk breakdown voltage less than the gate-oxide breakdown voltage of high-voltage PMOS transistors to prevent gate-oxide breakdown caused by sub-threshold leakage of auxiliary high-voltage PMOS transistors in the off state. Permanent gate-oxide breakdown is prevented through non-permanent sub-nanoamp drain-bulk junction breakdown. The level shifter circuit has the advantages of small circuit size and low static power consumption.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2010Date of Patent: August 6, 2013Inventors: Leendert Jan van den Berg, Duncan George Elliott

Patent number: 8174208Abstract: The present invention relates to a driver for driving a gas discharge lamp. In use, the tips of a conventional lamp's electrodes are subject to tip growth and tip destruction, resulting in decreased or increased arc length, respectively. This has an undesirable effect on the light output of the lamp. The driver of the present invention includes a controller for controlling a current source to the electrodes of the lamp whereby parameters of the current are varied in such a way that tip growth and tip destruction are alternated. As a result, arc length variations stay within certain limits over the lifetime of the lamp.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2007Date of Patent: May 8, 2012Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventor: John-John Pieter Jan Van Den Berg

Patent number: 7936192Abstract: A frequency synthesis phase-locked loop architecture using a regenerative sampling latch is described. The frequency divider typically employed in the feedback path of a frequency synthesis phase-locked loop is replaced by a regenerative sampling latch with a binary output. The regenerative sampling latch subsamples the frequency synthesizer output to produce a low-frequency aliased signal that can be processed further or directly used to lock the phase-locked loop. This architecture is referred to as an alias-locked loop. The relaxed constraints on the regenerative sampling latch make it possible to create high-speed frequency synthesizer phase-locked loops without the suffering the limitations imposed by traditional dividers connected directly to the oscillator output.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2009Date of Patent: May 3, 2011Inventors: Leendert Jan van den Berg, Duncan George Elliott
