ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 30 -- United States Patent no. 12,748,137, issued on Sept. 29.
"Method for measuring voltage droop in a circuit using a current controlled oscillator" was invented by Joseph Shor (Tel Mond, Israel), Amir Mizrahi (Kfar Yona, Israel), Gil Golan (Ramat Gan, Israel), Orel Dahaman (Ramla, Israel) and Omer Nechushtan (Rishon Lezion, Israel).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method for measuring voltage droop and temperature in a circuit include using capacitive coupling to couple a bias voltage of a current controlled oscillator (CCO) to a noisy digital Vcc (VCCD) supply, so that a frequency of the CCO is independent of a DC Vcc level of the noisy VCCD supply and the CCO measur...
