ALEXANDRIA, Va., Jan. 20 -- United States Patent no. 12,531,557, issued on Jan. 20, was assigned to Analog Devices Inc. (Wilmington, Mass.).

"High-efficiency high-swing Voltage Mode Logic driver systems and methods" was invented by Rajasekhar Nagulapalli (Wilmington, Mass.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "High-swing push-pull assisted Voltage Mode Logic (VML) driver circuits can enhance output voltage amplitude to improve efficiency and performance in electronic applications. For example, this is accomplished by utilizing a primary current generator circuit that is powered by a supply voltage to generate a primary current. The primary current is provided, through a switching circuit, to an outp...
