Title: Abdul M. J. Muthalif: Memory-Array Timing Innovation

Introduction

Abdul M. J. Muthalif is an inventor based in Bengaluru, India, associated with Texas Instruments Corporation. His patent work addresses the challenge of sensing memory-array outputs when their delays vary.

Latest Patents

Muthalif is credited with 1 patent, titled “Determining Optimal Time Instances to Sense the Output of a Memory Array Which Can Generate Data Outputs with Variable Delay.” The invention describes a tracking circuit that generates sense-enable signals at suitable times. Its scalable driver block uses dummy cells with drive strengths matching cells in the memory array, approximating the delay produced by a column of memory cells. For smaller arrays, inverse control logic emulates the delay. The circuit uses a pulse from either the scalable driver block or the inverse control logic to trigger a sensing operation.

Career Highlights

Muthalif’s listed patent reflects work on memory circuitry and timing control. The approach is designed to help coordinate sensing with variable output delays in a memory array.

Collaborations
