ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 9 -- United States Patent no. 12,652,037, issued on June 9, was assigned to KeyTek Semiconductor HongKong Ltd. (WanChai, Hong Kong).
"Battery management system equipped with parking to prevent parasitic leakage" was invented by David Maes (Cupertino, Calif.).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Systems and methods for reducing parasitic current leakage. A switch includes a source resistor, a first transistor, a second transistor, and a midpoint transistor. The midpoint transistor is located in between the first transistor and the second transistor. The midpoint transistor is maintained at a low voltage in response to the switch being in a non-conductive state, and the low volta...
