ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 2 -- United States Patent no. 12,647,027, issued on June 2, was assigned to Cirrus Logic Inc. (Austin, Texas).

"Switching drivers with capacitive voltage generation operable in different capacitor biasing regimes" was invented by Ross C. Morgan (Bathgate, Great Britain).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "This application relates to switching drivers which receive a supply voltage that can vary in use. An output stage switches a driver output node between switching voltages with a controlled duty-cycle and is operable in different driver modes in which the switching voltages are different in the different driver modes. A capacitive voltage generator is operable to generate a s...
