Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a digital design component with scan clock generation. This invention features a master and a slave stage of a flip-flop that are each separately clocked with non-overlapping clock signals during scan mode. This innovative approach eliminates a data input scan mode multiplexer and reduces hold violations in scan mode for flip-flop chains. As a result, application circuits benefit from reduced circuit area, power consumption, and noise generation. Additionally, a clock generator for scan mode clocking is provided to obtain the separate, non-overlapping scan mode clocks. These clocks can be generated using a toggle flip-flop, a pulse generator, or a clock gating circuit.
Another notable patent is a method and system for correcting signal integrity crosstalk violations. This system and method address crosstalk delays by modeling the change in effective capacitance. By determining the delay attributable to crosstalk, the system can upsize cells in the failing net according to a mathematical formula to counter the delay.
