Title: Ray Woodward: Innovator in Circuitry and Memory Architecture
Introduction
Ray Woodward is a notable inventor based in Windsor, Colorado. He has made significant contributions to the field of electronics, particularly in the areas of circuitry and memory architecture. With a total of 3 patents to his name, Woodward's innovations have had a lasting impact on technology.
Latest Patents
One of Woodward's latest patents is focused on circuitry for hot-swappable circuit boards. This invention provides electronic circuits and methods designed for use in hot-swappable circuit board applications. The circuitry detects an electrical ground connection and signals the operation of a hot-swap controller. The detection of stable operating power initiates a hierarchical startup of multiple voltage regulators. Once stable output power is sensed from the last of the voltage regulators, it triggers the configuration of one or more programmable devices. This innovation also protects the circuitry and other resources of a hot-swappable circuit board against electrical transient-related damage.
Another significant patent by Woodward is related to buffered memory architecture. This architecture includes at least one unbuffered dual inline memory module (DIMM). An advanced memory buffer (AMB) serves as an interface between the DIMM and a host memory controller, enhancing the performance and reliability of memory systems.
