Latest Patents

One of his latest patents involves validating manufacturing test rules pertaining to an electronic component. This invention is directed towards validating a specified manufacturing test rule, which pertains to an electronic component. The method includes generating a file of test data sets, wherein each test data set in the file is valid for the rule. Each test data set includes a stimulus comprising one or more single input vectors, and further includes a set of expected results. The method also comprises constructing a testbench to prepare test cases for simulation, wherein each test case corresponds to the stimulus and the expected output results of one of the test data sets. Each test case is designed to be simulated separately from every other test case. The method further includes selectively preparing each of the test cases for simulation to provide simulated results for the stimulus corresponding to each test case. The expected results and the simulated results are compared for each test case.

Another significant patent by Muhlada is related to indeterminate state logic insertion. This method provides a computer-implemented approach for resolving indeterminate states by inserting logic into a design. The method receives an original design input from a requester to form a received input and determines whether the received input contains an indeterminate output. If an indeterminate output is detected, the method generates a temporary design from the received input, which contains 'unique' output and all inputs. The temporary design is updated, and both the original and temporary designs are synthesized individually to form a synthesized original design and a set of synthesized temporary designs. The final design is created by merging the synthesized original design with the set of synthesized temporary designs.
