Michael Verbeck 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).

  • Method for operating memory devices for storing data
    Patent number: 6907544
    Abstract: A storage device is disclosed and is characterized in that the data to be stored therein can be automatically and repeatedly stored in the device and/or in that additional information dependent on the data to be stored therein can be generated and stored in addition to the data to be stored and/or in that the data to be stored can be consecutively read under different conditions. Thus, the data originally stored in the storage device can be rapidly and easily reconstructed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 30, 2001
    Date of Patent: June 14, 2005
    Assignee: Infineon Technologies AG
    Inventors: Peter Kliegelhöfer, Gerhard Pöppel, Björn Steurich, Rudolf Ullmann, Michael Verbeck
  • Current generating device with reduced switching time from an energy saving mode
    Patent number: 6667609
    Abstract: A current generating device is characterized in that it is configured for, in response to a predetermined event, temporarily impresses a current, which is modified in comparison to the usual current, onto a device connected to the current generating device. In addition, a voltage generating device is configured for, in response to the predetermined event, temporarily applying a voltage, which is modified in comparison to the usual voltage, to the device connected to the voltage generating device.

  • Sense amplifier
    Patent number: 6442091
    Abstract: The sense amplifier compares an input signal characterizing the content of the memory device which is to be read with a threshold value which can be changed or selected on the basis of the output signal from the sense amplifier. The use of such a sense amplifier makes it possible to reduce the risk of the content of a memory device which is to be read being determined incorrectly to a minimum.
