ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 2 -- United States Patent no. 12,647,025, issued on June 2, was assigned to Apple Inc..

"Soft switching voltage divider circuit" was invented by Francesco Dalena (Leghorn, Italy).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A switched-capacitor circuit for use in a high-efficiency power subsystem is disclosed. The switched-capacitor circuit includes a resonant circuit and multiple switches that couple the resonant circuit between an input power supply node and an output node to generate a voltage on the output node that is less than the voltage of the input power supply node. A sense circuit measures the current flowing through the resonant circuit and a control circuit opens and close...
