Latest Patents
One of Cheng's latest patents is titled "Method to reduce wire-or glitch in high performance bus design to improve bus performance." This invention focuses on a system and method for reducing wire-or glitches to enhance bus speeds. In this system, the rise time of the wave created by the off-going driver is controlled to ensure optimal performance. The off-going wave is designed to climb gradually, allowing it to remain marginally above a high threshold voltage after a specific propagation delay. Additionally, the fall time of the wave from the on-going driver is minimized, which helps propagate a strong negative voltage down the bus. This negative voltage effectively drags the composite wave back below a low threshold voltage shortly after switching occurs.
Another notable patent by Cheng is the "Method and apparatus for configuring the pinout of an integrated circuit." This invention describes an integrated circuit that includes an input/output structure with an input/output port. The structure is capable of communicating a first signal in one configuration and a second signal in another configuration, both of which are parallel signals of a bus.
