LINEAR VOLTAGE REGULATOR CIRCUIT AND MULTIPLE OUTPUT VOLTAGES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18156317 titled 'LINEAR VOLTAGE REGULATOR CIRCUIT AND MULTIPLE OUTPUT VOLTAGES

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a device that includes a voltage regulator circuit and multiple transistors. The voltage regulator circuit pulls up the voltage at an output terminal to half of the supply voltage. The transistors are used to control the gate voltages and pull up the voltage at the output terminal to the supply voltage at a specific time.

  • The device includes a voltage regulator circuit that regulates the voltage at the output terminal.
  • Multiple transistors are used to control the gate voltages and pull up the voltage at the output terminal.
  • The voltage at the output terminal is pulled up to half of the supply voltage initially and then to the full supply voltage at a specific time.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Power management systems
  • Voltage regulation in electronic devices
  • Battery charging circuits

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Ensures a stable and regulated voltage output
  • Prevents voltage spikes or drops
  • Provides efficient power management

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved performance and reliability of electronic devices
  • Enhanced power efficiency
  • Protection against voltage fluctuations


Original Abstract Submitted

A device includes a voltage regulator circuit configured to pull up a voltage at an output terminal to equal to half of a supply voltage; multiple first transistors coupled between the output terminal and a voltage terminal providing the supply voltage; and a control circuit configured to pull down gate voltages of the first transistors from the supply voltage to a voltage level between the supply voltage and a ground voltage at a first time. The first transistors are configured to pull up the voltage at the output terminal to the supply voltage at a second time.
