Application: Linear voltage regulator with isolated supply current (Patent ID: US20240210980A1)
The patent filed by Medtronic Plc discloses a linear voltage regulator designed to ensure that the output current matches the input current. The regulator includes components such as a series pass field-effect transistor, a voltage reference source, a buffer amplifier, and an error amplifier to control the output voltage. The regulator is powered by an independent voltage supply to maintain stability and efficiency. Additionally, the patent describes a test system for measuring electrical current consumption of a device under test (DUT). This system involves a power capacitor, a voltage regulator, and a switching circuit controlled by a controller to charge the capacitor, measure the current provided, and calculate the electrical current consumed by the DUT.
The linear voltage regulator further includes features such as a feedback divider network, a MOSFET as the series pass transistor, and current-isolating buffers to ensure accurate and efficient operation. The test system includes a calibration circuit for the power capacitor, diodes for controlling discharge, and a display device to show the calculated electrical current. The system is designed to accurately measure current consumption by recording the voltage changes in the power capacitor over time. Overall, the patent outlines innovative technologies for regulating voltage and measuring current consumption in electronic devices, enhancing efficiency and accuracy in power management systems.
