ECE Assistant Professor Aatmesh Shrivastava Awarded Patent

ECE Assistant Professor Aatmesh Shrivastava has been awarded a patent for “Methods and apparatus for a single inductor multiple output (SIMO) DC-DC converter circuit.”


Abstract Source: USPTO

In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a single-inductor multiple-output (SIMO) direct current (DC-DC) converter circuit, with the SIMO DC-DC converter circuit having a set of output nodes. The apparatus also includes a panoptic dynamic voltage scaling (PDVS) circuit operatively coupled to the SIMO DC-DC converter circuit, where the PDVS circuit has a set of operational blocks with each operational block from the set of operational blocks drawing power from one supply voltage rail from a set of supply voltage rails. Additionally, each output node from the set of output nodes is uniquely associated with a supply voltage rail from the set of supply voltage rails.
