US Patent Issued to Microchip Technology on Oct. 21 for "High voltage input low dropout regulator circuit" (Romanian Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 28 -- United States Patent no. 12,449,830, issued on Oct. 21, was assigned to Microchip Technology Inc. (Chandler, Ariz.).

"High voltage input low dropout regulator circuit" was invented by Alexandru-Valentin Craescu (Buchare, Romania).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A low dropout (LDO) regulator circuit is provided. The LDO regulator circuit may include a pre-regulator circuit to receive a high voltage input voltage and provide a low voltage supply voltage, and an LDO regulator to receive the low voltage supply voltage and provide a low voltage output voltage. The pre-regulator circuit may include an input stage, an output stage coupled to the input stage, and a first MOS...
