ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 19 -- United States Patent no. 12,334,820, issued on June 17, was assigned to MURATA MANUFACTURING Co. LTD. (Kyoto, Japan).
"Fast-switching current mirror" was invented by Gary Chunshien Wu (San Diego).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A current mirror circuit that allows for fast ramp-up of current for an output, thereby enabling a fast-switched current source with limited current during startup. One embodiment includes first and second transistors coupled in a current mirror configuration; a third transistor including a gate configured to be coupled to an input node, and having a conduction channel coupled between a first voltage source and the gates of the first and secon...
