MASSIMILIANO BELLONI 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: 9374000
    Abstract: A system includes a pulse width modulator and a shift generator. The pulse width modulator receives a saw-tooth signal and generates pulse width modulated pulses based on the saw-tooth signal to regulate an output voltage of a DC-to-DC converter. The shift generator generates a DC voltage in response to a change in an input voltage of the DC-to-DC converter and shifts the saw-tooth signal by the DC voltage to regulate the output voltage of the DC-to-DC converter.

  • Patent number: 8872487
    Abstract: A DC-DC converter is disclosed having an input configured to receive an input signal and an output configured to present an output signal at a different voltage than the input signal. The converter also includes at least one inductor and at least one capacitor. Two or more transistors fingers are provided such that at least one of the two or more transistor fingers comprises two or more switching transistors, each of which has an input, an output, a control input. An activation controller connect to at least one of the two or more switching transistors, the activation controller configured to control whether the at least one of the two or more switching transistors is active or non-active. Also disclosed is a buck-boost converter with numerous controlled switches that establish the converter in either buck-boost mode, buck mode or boost mode.
