ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 6 -- United States Patent no. 12,379,400, issued on Aug. 5, was assigned to CIRRUS LOGIC INC. (Austin, Texas).

"Segmented-width thin-film sense resistors with width-distributed terminal land connections" was invented by Aleksey Khenkin (Lago Vista, Texas) and Michael J. Murphy (Statesville, N.C.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A thin-film resistor circuit for an integrated circuit provides low resistance by segmenting a thin-film resistor to provide a wider effective thin-film resistor in a smaller die. The die includes a substrate, multiple electronic devices integrated on the substrate and interconnected to form at least a portion of an electronic circuit, a plurality o...
