Patents by Inventor Pierre Daude

Pierre Daude 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).

  • Battery protection method and circuit therefor
    Patent number: 8179096
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a circuit is formed to couple a battery to a charging voltage at least a portion of a time when the charging voltage is greater than zero volts and is less than a first voltage value. The circuit is also formed to decouple the battery from the charging voltage approximately when the charging voltage is greater than the first voltage and also approximately when the charging voltage is no greater than zero volts.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 23, 2004
    Date of Patent: May 15, 2012
    Assignee: Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC
    Inventors: Patrick Bernard, Pierre Daude, Pascal Debaty, Christian Perrin

  • Method of forming a low quiescent current voltage regulator and structure therefor
    Patent number: 6979984
    Abstract: A voltage regulator (10) is formed to generate a compensation current to flow when an output voltage of the voltage regulator (10) exceeds a compensation value. The compensation current is at least equal to the leakage current of the output transistor (24).
