US Patent Issued to Alpha and Omega Semiconductor International on Oct. 20 for "Multi-stage adaptive gate drive control" (California Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 21 -- United States Patent no. 12,771,339, issued on Oct. 20, was assigned to Alpha and Omega Semiconductor International LP (Toronto).

"Multi-stage adaptive gate drive control" was invented by Ziwei Yu (Cupertino, Calif.), Lin Chen (San Jose, Calif.) and Jian Yin (San Ramon, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Apparatus and associated methods relate to a gate drive timing controller (GDTC). In an illustrative example, the GDTC may generate a power stage activation signal (PSAS) to control an output current of a MOSFET(s) of the power stage. Three pullup transistors, for example, may be electrically connected to the control output in parallel, configured to generate th...
