US Patent Issued to STMicroelectronics (Grand Ouest) on Dec. 9 for "Device for power supplying a load and measuring the current consumption of the load" (French Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 9 -- United States Patent no. 12,493,060, issued on Dec. 9, was assigned to STMicroelectronics (Grand Ouest) SAS (Le Mans, France).

"Device for power supplying a load and measuring the current consumption of the load" was invented by Christophe Belet (Parigne l'eveque, France).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Load current consumption measured using a first resistor having a high resistive value and a second resistor having a low resistive value. Differential amplifiers, the outputs of which are coupled to analog-to-digital converters and to a processing circuit unit, are connected to each of the nodes of the resistors. Depending on the current level, the processing circuit ...
