ALEXANDRIA, Va., April 21 -- United States Patent no. 12,607,656, issued on April 21, was assigned to Intel Corp. (Santa Clara, Calif.).
"Voltage droop detection and frequency recovery" was invented by Praveen Mosalikanti (Portland, Ore.), Vaughn J. Grossnickle (Hillsboro, Ore.) and Nasser A. Kurd (Portland, Ore.).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A single droop detector and an asynchronous frequency recovery circuit may be used to slow down a frequency asynchronously when a voltage droop is detected and exit the droop event synchronously by gradually changing an electronic oscillator buffer capacitance until the frequency has been fully restored. This combination of a single droop detector and a...
