US Patent Issued to STMicroelectronics on April 1 for "Trimming procedure and code reuse for highly precise DC-DC converters" (Italian Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., April 2 -- United States Patent no. 12,267,084, issued on April 1, was assigned to STMicroelectronics S.r.l. (Agrate Brianza, Italy).

"Trimming procedure and code reuse for highly precise DC-DC converters" was invented by Marco Attanasio (Olbia-Tempio, Italy) and Stefano Ramorini (Milan).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A converter system includes a reference buffer buffering a reference input to produce a DAC reference, operating from a reference feedback voltage generated by a reference divider. A tail buffer generates a tail voltage from an input voltage generated from the DAC reference by a tail divider. An R-2R type DAC utilizes an R-2R ladder to generate a DAC output from ...
