Title: Chih Jen Lin and System-on-Chip Innovation.

Introduction

Chih Jen Lin is an inventor based in Austin, Texas, whose patent work includes system-on-chip technology. His listed employer is Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. His record includes 2 patents.

Latest Patents

Lin’s latest listed patent is titled “System-on-chip, mobile terminal, and method for operating the system-on-chip.” The invention describes a system-on-chip designed to manage a processor that has entered a deadlock state. The chip includes a processor with multiple CPU cores, buses, a graphics processing unit, a memory controller, an isolation cell, and a deadlock controller.

When the processor becomes deadlocked, the controller applies an isolation signal to separate it from the first bus. It then uses the second bus to retrieve state information from the isolated processor. This approach is intended to support deadlock control while preserving access to diagnostic information.

Career Highlights

Lin’s listed patent work focuses on processor reliability and system-on-chip operation. The described design combines processor isolation with a separate path for extracting state information, addressing both containment and diagnosis of a deadlock.

Collaborations

Lin’s listed coworkers include Hyun-ki Koo and Jinook Song. The patent information provided does not specify their individual contributions to the described invention.

Conclusion

Chih Jen Lin’s patent work highlights a system-on-chip approach to isolating a deadlocked processor while retrieving information needed to examine its state.
