ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 10 -- United States Patent no. 12,413,219, issued on Sept. 9, was assigned to STMicroelectronics (Grenoble 2) SAS (Grenoble, France).
"Differential comparator circuit" was invented by Laurent Simony (Grenoble, France).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A differential comparator circuit includes a voltage amplifier of negative gain receiving an analog input signal and generating an inverted analog input signal. The analog input signal and the inverted analog input signal form differential analog input signals. A comparator input circuit includes a first capacitive divider to generate a first signal as an average of the analog input signal and a first ramp signal, and a second...
