ALEXANDRIA, Va., March 31 -- United States Patent no. 12,591,263, issued on March 31, was assigned to Silicon Laboratories Inc. (Austin, Texas).

"Voltage and current reference circuits providing voltage and currents with near zero temperature coefficients" was invented by Abdulkerim Coban (Austin, Texas).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A voltage reference circuit can operate in a large supply voltage range, including a low supply voltage, and can operate with high PSRR. The voltage reference circuit supplies a voltage reference with a near zero temperature coefficient (TC) across a wide-temperature range. The voltage reference circuit develops a first current with a positive temperature coeffic...
