ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 25 -- United States Patent no. 12,481,304, issued on Nov. 25, was assigned to MediaTek Inc. (Hsinchu, Taiwan).
"Bandgap circuit with adaptive start-up design" was invented by Chen-Ming Chen (Hsinchu, Taiwan).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A bandgap circuit with adaptive start-up design is shown, which includes a bandgap core and a start-up circuit. The bandgap core uses paired bipolar transistors (BJTs) to eliminate temperature-sensitive factors and thereby generate a bandgap voltage that is independent of temperature variations. The start-up circuit couples an emitter terminal of a first BJT of the paired BJTs to a power line to start up the bandgap core. The start-up ci...
