US Patent Issued to STMicroelectronics International on Oct. 6 for "Architecture for piezoresistive pressure sensor drivers and power management" (Italian Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 6 -- United States Patent no. 12,754,082, issued on Oct. 6, was assigned to STMicroelectronics International N.V. (Geneva).

"Architecture for piezoresistive pressure sensor drivers and power management" was invented by Pasquale Franco (Catania, Italy), Tiziano Chiarillo (Mascalucia, Italy) and Giovanni Cali' (Catania, Italy).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A MEMS pressure sensor includes a multiplexer passing a first-voltage or a second-voltage as output, an analog front-end (AFE) conditioning the output of the multiplexer to produce an ADC input, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) digitizing the ADC input to produce an ADC output, a first Wheatstone-bridge sensitive to ...
