`Reverse Level Shift Part
`
`• Majumdar’s Teaching is Consistent with All Proffered Constructions
`
`Petition
`Plain and ordinary meaning
`(including a circuit, i.e., part
`of the device, that carries
`out a level shift in a reverse
`direction)
`
`District Court
`“a section of the
`semiconductor device
`comprising one or more
`components for reverse level
`shifting.”

`

`Reverse Level Shift Part
`
`• Patent Owner argues:
`o Reverse level shift part limited only to transistors (within circuit I1)
`responsible for reverse level shifting
`o Circuit I1 must be broken apart and only components not involved in the
`forward level shifting can be considered as the reverse level shift part.

`Limitation 7.3.1 - Voltage Detecting Device
`
`‘850 Patent, claim 7
`
`Limitation 7.3.1 recites a voltage detecting device:
`a) provided in said high potential part and
`b) Configured to detect a potential at an output line of said reverse level
`shift part
`
`DEMONSTRATIVE EXHIBIT – NOT EVIDENCE
`
`Petitioner, Slide 14

`

`Voltage Detecting Device Provided in Said High Potential Part
`
`High Potential Part = Variable Reference (bn
`0 and EE+PP)
`
`EE power
`(e.g., 15V)
`
`Low Potential Part = Fixed Reference (EE or NN)

`

`Voltage Detecting Device Provided in Said High Potential Part
`
`• Patent Owner’s Manufactured Diagram is Incorrect and unsupported
`
`• Only Two Sections Exist:
`1. One section of the circuit always referenced to ground (NN) or EE
`POR, 60-61
`2.
`The other section is not fixed and can be referenced to a higher potential
`(PP + NN/EE)
`• Both Patent Owner’s “MID_P” and “HI_P” will reach the same high
`voltage
`• Majumdar only discloses two power supplies (EE and PP)

`POSITA Would Have Been Motivated to
`Use Majumdar’s Buffer as a Voltage
`Detecting Device
`
`DEMONSTRATIVE EXHIBIT – NOT EVIDENCE
`
`Petitioner, Slide 19
`
`

`

`A POSITA Would Have Used Majumdar’s Buffer as a Voltage
`Detecting Device
`
`• Cowles explicitly teaches it was well-known to configure a buffer to
`detect a voltage and supply a corresponding logic value
`
`Cowles, 1:18-20
`
`• Several supported motivations to combine:
`1.
`Explicit teaching, suggestion, motivation
`2.
`To provide implementation details of a long-used function
`3. Combination of prior art elements according to known methods to yield
`predictable results
`4. Use of a known technique to improve similar device in the same way
`5.
`Reasonable expectation of success
`6.
`To ensure proper operation, as stated in Orita

`
`

`

`A POSITA Would Have Used Majumdar’s Buffer as a Voltage
`Detecting Device
`
`Examples of motivations and advantages to the Majumdar-Cowles
`combination:
`1. Driving other circuit components (ceasing/initiating system function)
`2. Optimizing voltage detection
`3. Determining whether a threshold has been reached
`4. Prohibiting operation if outside a specified voltage range
`5. Ensuring proper operation
`6. Promoting accuracy in turning on the high-side switching element
`7. Detecting an abnormal condition

`

`

`A POSITA Would Have Used Majumdar’s Buffer as a Voltage
`Detecting Device
`
`• Patent Owner attacks the references individually and ignores the
`combined teachings
`o The Majumdar-Cowles combination explicitly teaches the claimed voltage
`detecting device
`o Patent Owner ignores the numerous motivations and express reasons
`provided to use Majumdar’s buffer as a voltage detecting device
`o Patent Owner ignores 18+ pages of expert testimony and documentary
`evidence
`
`• Patent Owner’s purported design differences, even if accurate, are
`irrelevant to the present inquiry
`o See In re Fulton, 391 F.3d 1195, 1201 (Fed. Cir. 2004) (a reference does
`not teach away if it merely expresses a general preference for an
`alternative invention but does not “criticize, discredit, or otherwise
`discourage” the invention claimed)
