ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 23 -- United States Patent no. 12,422,872, issued on Sept. 23, was assigned to Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (Santa Clara, Calif.).
"Fast settling voltage regulator" was invented by Luca Ravezzi (Santa Clara, Calif.).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "The disclosed voltage regulator circuit includes an NMOS as the main power device that is coupled to a regulated voltage output. A sensing circuit senses the regulated voltage output, and a reference voltage circuit supplies a correct bias to the flipped-source follower, which amplifies the sensed voltage output. A voltage inversion circuit such as a current mirror provides an inverting gain stage for the sensed voltage output, f...
