Kensuke NAKASHIMA 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: 10790683
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a control unit which controls charging/discharging of a secondary battery, a bidirectional coupling unit which is electrically coupled to the control unit and through which a charging/discharging current flows, and a protection diode coupled between the control unit and the bidirectional coupling unit. The bidirectional coupling unit includes a discharging power transistor, a charging power transistor reversely coupled in series with the discharging power transistor, and a common drain pad which functions as a drain of the discharging power transistor and further functions as a drain of the charging power transistor. An anode of the protection diode is electrically coupled to the common drain pad. A cathode of the protection diode is electrically coupled to a power supply terminal of the control unit.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10164447
    Abstract: To provide a semiconductor product high in versatility. A common drain pad is formed over the surface of a semiconductor chip together with source pads and gate pads of discharging and charging power transistors. Thus, when the semiconductor chip is face-down mounted over a wiring board, not only the source pads and gate pads of the discharging and charging power transistors, but also the common drain pad is electrically coupled to wirings of the wiring board.
