Patents by Inventor Jaro Stimma

Jaro Stimma 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).

  • Patent number: 6667660
    Abstract: A temperature sensor has a first FET transistor circuit, whose operating point is located at the temperature-independent point, and a second FET transistor circuit whose operating point is above this point. The voltage difference in this case depends essentially linearly on the temperature. In addition, a circuit for controlling the gain of an amplifier circuit is provided, in which the current through the amplifier circuit at low temperatures is reduced by an appropriate control of the gate voltage of a transistor serving as a current source, so that an amplification which is substantially independent of temperature is carried out.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6642790
    Abstract: A differential amplifier has two amplifier paths. The second amplifier path is operated in the opposite direction relative to the first amplifier path. The outputs of the two amplifier paths form a differential output and are in each case connected to one another via a respective load resistor at a node. The operating point of the two amplifier paths is set by the voltage that is present at the node. The differential load is divided into two individual resistors and the voltage present between the individual resistors serves for setting the operating point of the amplifier paths. The bandwidth and the gain can be influenced by varying the resistances of the load resistors.
