FAST POWER-UP SCHEME FOR CURRENT MIRRORS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17966253 titled 'FAST POWER-UP SCHEME FOR CURRENT MIRRORS
Simplified Explanation
Abstract: The patent application describes an automatic charge/discharge circuit that enables a current mirror circuit with a high capacitance to rapidly and automatically charge or discharge the capacitance, facilitating a quick start-up power supply. The circuit is designed to cease charging or discharging when the voltage on the capacitance reaches a desired steady state.
Patent/Innovation Explanation:
- The invention is an automatic charge/discharge circuit.
- It is specifically designed for a current mirror circuit with a high capacitance.
- The circuit allows for quick and automatic charging or discharging of the capacitance.
- It ensures that the charging or discharging process stops when the voltage on the capacitance reaches a desired steady state.
Potential Applications:
- Fast start-up power supplies
- High-capacitance current mirror circuits
Problems Solved:
- Slow charging or discharging of high-capacitance circuits
- Manual intervention required to stop the charging or discharging process
Benefits:
- Rapid charging or discharging of the capacitance
- Automatic control of the charging or discharging process
- Elimination of the need for manual intervention
Original Abstract Submitted
An automatic charge/discharge circuit is presented that allows a current mirror circuit with a high capacitance to quickly and automatically charge or discharge the capacitance in order to allow for a fast start-up power supply. The charge/discharge circuit automatically stops charging or discharging as the voltage on the capacitance approached a desired steady state.
