Patents by Inventor Minh Watson

Minh Watson 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: 6445322
    Abstract: A digital-to-analog converter includes a number of current steering cells. In each current steering cell, a current source is biased by a differential amplifier to provide a high output impedance. The high output impedance in the current steering cell allows the digital-to-analog converter to operate under low supply voltage conditions.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6191622
    Abstract: A time-multiplexed common mode feedback circuit provides a common mode feedback signal during active phases of a clock signal. The common mode feed back circuit includes capacitors which are charged during the inactive phases of the clock signals. In one embodiment, the common mode feedback signal is provided by two generator circuits each driven by a respective one of two non-overlapping clock signals. In that embodiment, the generator circuits provide the common mode feedback signal during the active phases of their respective clock signals.
