Niranjan SHANKAR 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: 11237581
    Abstract: A low-dropout voltage system comprising a current supply with a transistor circuitry, a mode switch capacitor, and a decoupling capacitor, wherein the mode switch capacitor facilitates the low-drop voltage system to swiftly transition from a low mode with a minimal to no transient current output to a high mode with a transient current of about 6 mA by dynamically biasing the transistor circuitry while limiting a voltage or current draw from an external power source.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10978135
    Abstract: An encoding and transmitting system for a digital isolator system includes a transmitter for transmitting combined edge indicator signals through an isolation barrier, an encoder for generating the combined edge indicator signals based on first and second signals, a refresh clock generator for generating a refresh clock signal based on the first signal, and a refresh edge generator for masking at least a portion of the refresh clock signal, such that the portion of the refresh clock signal is not reflected in the second signal. The isolation barrier of the digital isolator system may be a capacitive isolation barrier for galvanically isolating a receiver from the transmitter. If desired, the refresh edge generator may include a refresh mask generator, one or more logic gates, and a glitch filter. A method of operating a digital isolator system is also described.

  • Publication number: 20200333815
    Abstract: A low-dropout voltage system comprising a current supply (320) with a transistor circuitry (MP1˜MP5, MN1˜MN5), a mode switch capacitor (340), and a decoupling capacitor (350), wherein the mode switch capacitor (340) facilitates the low-drop voltage system to swiftly transition from a low mode with a minimal to no transient current output to a high mode with a transient current of about 6 mA by dynamically biasing the transistor circuitry (MP3˜MP5, MN1˜MN5) while limiting a voltage or current draw from an external power source.

  • Patent number: 10057174
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for dynamic and adaptive load balancing. An example method includes receiving, at a network device, a data packet to be sent via one or more aggregation groups, where the aggregation groups each comprise a plurality of aggregate members. The example method further includes determining, based on the data packet, a flow identifier of a flow to which the data packet belongs and determining a state of the flow. The example method also includes determining, based on the flow identifier and the state of the flow, an assigned member of the plurality of aggregate members for the flow and communicating the packet via the assigned member.
