Latest Patents
One of Barton's latest patents is titled "System and method for reducing leakage current in dynamic circuits with low threshold voltage transistors." This invention discloses a reduced-leakage current dynamic circuit that includes a logic circuit, a pre-charge transistor, and a standby transistor. The logic circuit is coupled to an internal output node and comprises a plurality of logic transistors with low threshold voltage. The pre-charge transistor is operable to provide a pre-charge voltage at the internal output node, while the standby transistor provides a standby voltage.
Another significant patent is the "Zig-zag SPS CCD memory." This invention consists of an array of serial-parallel-serial memory blocks. Each block includes an N-stage serial-parallel register, an M-stage stack, and an N-stage parallel-serial register. The design features a zig-zag shaped charge transfer path, which reduces the linear dimension and width of the stack, enhancing the efficiency of the memory blocks.
