US Patent Issued to Halo Microelectronics International on Sept. 15 for "PFM mode operation of switched capacitor converters" (California Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 15 -- United States Patent no. 12,738,842, issued on Sept. 15, was assigned to Halo Microelectronics International (Campbell, Calif.).

"PFM mode operation of switched capacitor converters" was invented by Rui Liu (Fremont, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A control circuit is configured to control a switched capacitor converter to operate in a pulse frequency modulation (PFM) mode. The control circuit includes a one-shot circuitry configured to generate a one-shot pulse to drive the switched capacitor converter to operate in the PFM mode. A PFM mode comparator is coupled to the one-shot circuitry, and is configured to trigger, based on an output voltage of the swit...
