"This patent eliminates the system requirement for direct current sensing when starting up integrated power supplies with a pre-charged output, it reduces circuit complexity and avoids sensitivity to noise typical in conventional designs. The patent covers implementations by either analog or digital circuits, and can be used for digital power management. Sipex uses this technology in its PWM controller family (6132, 6133, 6134, 6136, 6137, 6138) and its PowerBlox family (7650, 7651, 7652, 7655)," said Lee Cleveland, Sipex's Senior Vice President of Engineering.
