Patents by Inventor Sean A. Golliher

Sean A. Golliher 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: 6870386
    Abstract: A resistance measurement circuit includes a plurality of current sources, a plurality of resistor strings and a comparator. Each resistor string is coupled in series with a respective one of the current sources and includes a plurality of nodes with different resistances relative to a reference node. Each node in each resistor string has a different resistance relative to the reference node than corresponding nodes in the other resistor strings. The comparator has a first comparison input coupled to a reference voltage and a second comparison input selectively coupled to the plurality of nodes in each resistor string.

  • Patent number: 6559704
    Abstract: An apparatus comprising a control circuit and a logic circuit. The control circuit may be configured to receive an input signal and an indication signal and present a complement of the input signal. The logic circuit may be configured to receive the complementary input signal and generate an output signal. The output signal may provide full scale voltages between a first supply (e.g., VSS) and a second supply (e.g., VDD2).
