Title: Kishna Weaver: Innovator in Voltage Recovery Circuits
Introduction
Kishna Weaver is a notable inventor based in Austin, Texas. He has made significant contributions to the field of integrated circuits, particularly with his innovative approach to voltage recovery.
Latest Patents
Kishna Weaver holds a patent for a "Voltage recovery circuit and method therefor." This invention provides a method and apparatus for performing a reset operation in an integrated circuit. The technology allows for the recovery of a memory programming voltage, enabling the use of memory during the reset process. The voltage recovery unit consists of a high voltage conversion portion that is active during a first recovery period and a low voltage conversion portion that becomes active in a subsequent second recovery period. This design ensures that the low voltage conversion portion is inactive during the first recovery period. Both recovery portions respond to the assertion of a reset signal and an intermediate reset signal generated before the end of the reset period. The recovery of the programming voltage facilitates uncorrupted retrieval and use of a configuration word during reset. The high voltage conversion portion features p-channel devices with robust breakdown resistance, while the low voltage conversion portion includes n-channel devices that enhance the speed of operation.
