Simone Verri 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).

  • Reference circuit arrangement and method for generating a reference voltage
    Patent number: 9811106
    Abstract: A reference circuit arrangement comprises a branched current path connecting a first and second terminal via an intermediate terminal. The intermediate terminal is connected to a reference terminal. A current path is coupled between the first and second terminal via the reference terminal. A feedback loop is connected to the first and second terminal and designed to control, at the first and second terminal, a virtual ground potential. A reference path is connected to the feedback loop having a reference input for receiving from the feedback loop a reference current and reference output to provide a reference voltage.
    Type: Grant

  • Reference circuit arrangement and method for generating a reference voltage using a branched current path
    Patent number: 9317057
    Abstract: Reference circuit arrangement according to this invention comprises a branched current path (BE) connecting a first and second terminal (T+, T?) via an intermediate terminal (TN). The intermediate terminal (TN) is connected to a reference terminal (GND). A current path (PTAT) is coupled between the first and second terminal (T+, T?) via the reference terminal (GND). A feedback loop (FB) is connected to the first and second terminal (T+, T?) and designed to control, at the first and second terminal (T+, T?), a virtual ground potential. A reference path (REF) is connected to the feedback loop (FB) having a reference input for receiving from the feedback loop a reference current (Iref) and reference output (Vref) to provide a reference voltage.
