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.
