Latest Patents
David Fang holds a patent for "Self-timed thermally-aware circuits and methods of use thereof." This invention focuses on apparatus and methods for regulating gate delays in synchronous and asynchronous digital circuits. The thermally-sensitive circuits utilize temperature-sensitive voltage sources that output a voltage signal indicative of the circuit's temperature. This voltage signal reflects non-linear temperature sensitivity above a predetermined threshold temperature. The delay mechanisms receive these temperature-sensitive voltage signals as input and are configured to continuously modulate the speed of signal propagation through the circuit. This innovation allows circuit elements to switch less frequently, thereby generating less heat as the circuit temperature increases.
