Patents by Inventor Jeff Sieber

Jeff Sieber 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).

  • Analog-to-digital converter control using signal objects
    Patent number: 8711023
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting an event and sampling first value from a pin in response to the event. For example, the event is identified by a signal object of a plurality of signal objects stored in a memory. Each signal object of the plurality of signal objects identifies a single analog input pin and a trigger.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: April 29, 2014
    Assignee: Renesas Electronics America, Inc.
    Inventors: Samuel J. Guido, Jeremy Brodt, Jeff Sieber
  • Dedicated sample and hold modules
    Patent number: 8022848
    Abstract: A method and system for sampling values. Multiple values are sampled concurrently. One of the values is stored while another one of the values is converted to a corresponding digital value by an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). Subsequently, the stored value is made available to the ADC.

  • Transparent multiplexing of analog-to-digital converters
    Patent number: 8022853
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for sampling and converting analog input values. In response to an event, a value is transmitted from an input of a multiplexer to the output of the multiplexer. The output of the multiplexer is coupled to an input of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). In response to a second event, a value is transmitted from the input of the multiplexer to a second ADC.
