Abstract
Abstract A constant power voltage circuit includes a first transistor for generating a collector current, a second transistor for generating a collector current, a third transistor, the collector of which is connected to the collector of the first transistor, a fourth transistor, the collector of which is connected to the collector of the second transistor, an emitter-grounded amplifier circuit including a fifth transistor for providing a feedback loop, with a fifth transistor, the collector which is connected to a constant current circuit and the base current of the third and the fourth transistors, being outputted from the constant current circuit upon the application of a power source.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
159 words
A constant power voltage circuit comprising: a first transistor for developing a collector current; a second transistor for developing a second collector current; a third transistor the collector of which is connected to the collector of the first transistor; a fourth transistor the collector of which is connected to the collector of the second transistor where the emitter area of said third transistor is larger than the emitter area of said fourth transistor and the collector current of said third transistor approximately equals the collector current of the fourth transistor; an emitter-grounded amplifier circuit including a fifth transistor for providing a feedback loop along with a sixth transistor, the collector of which is connected to a constant current circuit and to the bases of the third and fourth transistor; and the base current of the third and fourth transistors resulting from an output of the constant current circuit upon the application of a power source and normal condition thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
159 words
A constant power voltage circuit comprising: a first transistor for developing a collector current; a second transistor for developing a second collector current; a third transistor the collector of which is connected to the collector of the first transistor; a fourth transistor the collector of which is connected to the collector of the second transistor where the emitter area of said third transistor is larger than the emitter area of said fourth transistor and the collector current of said third transistor approximately equals the collector current of the fourth transistor; an emitter-grounded amplifier circuit including a fifth transistor for providing a feedback loop along with a sixth transistor, the collector of which is connected to a constant current circuit and to the bases of the third and fourth transistor; and the base current of the third and fourth transistors resulting from an output of the constant current circuit upon the application of a power source and normal condition thereof.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
