Title: Luke R. Leonard and Integrated Circuit Clock Gapping

Introduction

Luke R. Leonard is an inventor associated with San Luis Obispo, California. His patent work addresses clock management in integrated circuits, with a method for adjusting clock signals differently across circuit blocks.

Latest Patents

Leonard is associated with 1 patent: “Integrated Circuit with Clock Gapping.” The method determines a clock gap for a first integrated-circuit block based on that block’s performance factor or an external factor, then adjusts the block’s clock signal accordingly. It determines a different clock gap for a second block based on the first gap and the second block’s performance factor or the external factor, and adjusts the second block’s clock signal to match its gap.

Career Highlights

Leonard is associated with Cisco Technology, Inc. His patent describes a way to tailor clock timing across circuit blocks, potentially accounting for differing performance requirements or external conditions.
