Latest Patents
One of Brinkley's latest patents is titled "Variable maximum die temperature based on performance state." This invention addresses the dynamic adjustment of a processor's maximum performance state based on thermal criteria. As the temperature of the processor increases beyond a predetermined threshold, the maximum performance state is reduced to prevent overheating. This gradual reduction allows for higher average system performance under varying temperature conditions. The invention ensures that high processor performance is maintained during normal operating conditions while slightly reducing performance during abnormal conditions.
Another significant patent by Brinkley is the "Integrated test apparatus and method therefor." This invention provides an integrated solution for testing very large scale integration (VLSI) devices. It features an interface between automatic test equipment (ATE) and a device under test (DUT), which includes a switch and control logic for efficient data transfer. The configuration of the switch is programmable, allowing for flexibility in testing various DUTs.
