Patents by Inventor Masashi Tamakoshi

Masashi Tamakoshi 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: 4835482
    Abstract: A switched-capacitor filter of the present invention constituted in the form of a semiconductor integrated circuit has an input circuit which consists of at least one noninversion-type switched-capacitor and at least two inversion-type switched-capacitors that are connected in parallel with each other. The two inversion-type switched-capacitors have different writing timings and reading timings relative to each other. With this setup, capacitances of the switched-capacitors need not be extremely increased even when it is desired to maintain a zero-point frequency of the filter at a very low value. Further, there is no need of providing a circuit such as sample holding circuit which requires extra area and consumes additional electric power.
    Type: Grant
