Jean-Philippe Robert Adiel Cornil 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: 6215356
    Abstract: An amplifier arrangement includes a class-G amplifier, biased by a first and a second pair of bias voltages, a drive control circuit and a second amplifier (C) biased by the second pair of supply voltages, the drive control circuit (DCD) thereby being adapted to turn on said second amplifier (C) at a higher input signal amplitude than the input signal amplitude at which the current in the class-G amplifier is internally switched over from the first pair to the second pair of bias voltages.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6157333
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for selecting a sequence of cells of current sources inside a cell matrix structure of a digital-analog converter and also to the corresponding converter. Symmetries are used with regard to the centre (C) of a rectangular or preferably square matrix structure, with regard to a symmetry point (S) located at a quarter of the length of a diagonal (D1) from the centre and with regard to one of the two mean perpendiculars (M1) of the structure for selecting the mapping areas (1, 2, . . . ) for the consecutive cells.

  • Patent number: 6097245
    Abstract: A differential output amplifier arrangement (DOA) including two operational amplifiers (OA1,OA2), each having a feedback resistor (R2,R20), and which are coupled by a first resistor (R1) between similar polarity type input terminals, further includes a pair of output resistors (R3,R30), coupled between respective output terminals (OUT1,OUT2), of each respective operational amplifier, and corresponding respective output terminals (ZOUT1,ZOUT2) of said arrangement, and a pair of resistors (R4,R40), each of which is cross-coupled between a respective output terminal of said arrangement (ZOUT1,ZOUT2) and one of the two similar polarity type, by the first resistor coupled, input terminals (INN2,INN1) of the respective cross-coupled operational amplifier. A method for adapting the output impedance of a differential output amplifier arrangement is described as well.
