ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 1 -- United States Patent no. 12,726,182, issued on Sept. 1, was assigned to Nordic Semiconductor ASA (Trondheim, Norway).
"Node voltage control" was invented by Jarmo Vaananen (Oulu, Finland), Jaakko Haapalahti (Oulu, Finland) and Lauri Linnansaari (Oulu, Finland).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A circuit portion has an analog voltage supply module, a clock and a digital control module clocked by the clock. A bias voltage is applied to an analog voltage supply module so that it supplies a voltage to a node. The voltage is sampled at the node, at a signal edge of the clock, to obtain a sampled voltage. The sampled voltage is stored, the bias voltage to the analog voltage ...
