ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 12 -- United States Patent no. 12,706,571, issued on Aug. 11, was assigned to pSemi Corp. (San Diego).
"Constant VDS1 bias control for stacked transistor configuration" was invented by Tero Tapio Ranta (San Diego), Christopher C. Murphy (Lake Zurich, Ill.) and Jeffrey A. Dykstra (Woodstock, Ill.).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Various methods and circuital arrangements for biasing one or more gates of stacked transistors of an amplifier are presented, where the amplifier can have a varying supply voltage. According to one aspect, the gate of the input transistor of the amplifier is biased with a fixed voltage whereas the gates of the other transistors of the amplifier are...
