US Patent Issued to Efficient Power Conversion on Sept. 30 for "Integrated GaN-based logic level translator" (California Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 30 -- United States Patent no. 12,431,874, issued on Sept. 30, was assigned to Efficient Power Conversion Corp. (El Segundo, Calif.).

"Integrated GaN-based logic level translator" was invented by Ravi Ananth (Laguna Niguel, Calif.), Edward Lee (Fullerton, Calif.) and Michael Chapman (Long Beach, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A single-ended or differential level-shifting interface for GaN ICs that allows GaN ICs to be controlled with standard low-voltage CMOS level inputs. The logic level shift circuit is based on a resistive network is therefore insensitive to process and temperature variations, making it particularly well suited for implementation in a GaN IC. ...
