ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 18 -- United States Patent no. 12,326,748, issued on June 10, was assigned to NXP B.V. (Eindhoven, Netherlands).
"Linear voltage regulator using serial bit stream for voltage regulation" was invented by Jaume Tornila Oliver (Eindhoven, Netherlands) and Marco Lammers (Neerkant, Netherlands).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A linear voltage regulator includes a converter circuit that provides a serial bitstream having a pulse density that is indicative of a difference between a regulated voltage of the linear voltage regulator and a reference voltage. The linear voltage regulator also includes a digital to analog converter circuit that includes an input to receive the serial ...
