Publication number: 20120229108Abstract: A signal for controlling output voltage from the driver is modulated by the input signal to the driver, whereby the output voltage tracks the input signal, matching power to demand. The output storage capacitor can be reduced in size because the amount of energy that needs to be stored is reduced. In addition, feedback transistors are paired on the same substrate and cause opposite changes in response to changes in temperature, thereby automatically compensating for changes in temperature without the use of additional components.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 9, 2011Publication date: September 13, 2012Applicant: Rogers CorporationInventors: Karl Edward Sprentall, Douglas James Anderson
