US Patent Issued to STMicroelectronics International on April 14 for "Conduction mode (CRM) control in digital power supply using mosfet drain-to-source edge detection" (Chinese Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., April 15 -- United States Patent no. 12,603,572, issued on April 14, was assigned to STMicroelectronics International N.V. (Geneva).

"Conduction mode (CRM) control in digital power supply using mosfet drain-to-source edge detection" was invented by Xun Gong (Shenzhen, China) and Bin Huang (Beijing).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method of operating a DC-DC converter includes generating a high-side control signal for a high-side transistor and generating a low-side control signal for a low-side transistor to thereby cause conversion of an input voltage to an output voltage. A time shift is measured between a falling edge of the low-side control signal and a time at which a dr...
