ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 3 -- United States Patent no. 12,542,562, issued on Feb. 3, was assigned to IMEC VZW (Leuven, Belgium).

"Input buffer and a method for reducing a signal amplitude dependency of said input buffer" was invented by Nereo Markulic (Etterbeek, Belgium) and Jan Craninckx (Boutersem, Belgium).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "An input buffer for an analog-to-digital converter, ADC, is provided. The input buffer is configured for receiving an input signal (Vin) and for outputting an output signal (Vout), and comprises an nMOS transistor and pMOS transistor. The nMOS transistor and the pMOS transistor are arranged in a push-pull configuration such that the input signal is fed to gate...
