ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 6 -- United States Patent no. 12,282,047, issued on April 22, was assigned to Analog Devices International UnLtd. Co. (Limerick, Ireland).
"Low power and high accuracy voltage monitor with built-in reference" was invented by Ricardo Pureza Coimbra (Paterna, Spain) and Mateus Ribeiro Vanzella (Valencia, Spain).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A voltage monitor circuit that signals if an input voltage is above or below an internally established reference level proportional to the bandgap voltage of silicon. The voltage monitor circuit mitigates main error sources generally associated with bandgap reference generation such that high accuracy and good performance may be achieve...
