ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 27 -- United States Patent no. 12,776,703, issued on Oct. 27, was assigned to TEXAS INSTRUMENTS Inc. (Dallas).

"Power factor correction converter system" was invented by Isaac Cohen (Dix Hills, N.Y.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "In a described example, a circuit can include a reference controller and a gain adjuster. The reference controller is configured to sample an input voltage from an input stage of the circuit and generate a modulation signal based on a square of the input voltage and an output current of an output stage of the circuit using an error amplifier. The modulation signal is configured to modulate conduction of a switch of a power factor correction (PFC...
