Patents by Inventor Joseph Peter John Manca

Joseph Peter John Manca 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: 9354411
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein include receiver optical assemblies (ROAs) having a photo-detector remotely located from a differential transimpedance amplifier (TIA). Related components, circuits, and methods are also disclosed. By providing the photo-detector remotely located from a TIA, additional costs associated with design constraints of providing the photo-detector intimate with a TIA may be avoided, thereby reducing cost of the ROA. In this regard as a non-limiting example, the ROAs according to the embodiments disclosed herein allow shorter haul active optical cable applications for use in consumer applications from a cost standpoint with the added benefits of increased bandwidth and low noise performance of optical fiber.

  • Publication number: 20160005363
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for providing an output voltage to be used in a display device. In one aspect, a circuit may include switches and a digital-to-analog converter (DAC). A charge recycling circuit may include a capacitive voltage divider providing voltage supplies for the switches to select from and provide to the DAC. A storage capacitor may be configured to be coupled one at a time and in parallel with individual capacitors of the capacitive voltage divider. The storage capacitor may store charge that may be reused. Additionally, a data control circuit may provide control signals for the switches and the DAC.
