US Patent Issued to Intel on June 23 for "Input/output capacitance reduction with negative impedance" (Oregon, Washington, California Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 15 -- United States Patent no. 12,663,886, issued on June 23, was assigned to Intel Corp. (Santa Clara, Calif.).

"Input/output capacitance reduction with negative impedance" was invented by Isaac Abraham (Tacoma, Wash.), Michael W. Altmann (Folsom, Calif.), Jonathan Kolet Gamble (McMinnville, Ore.) and Rodolfo Kiyama Armendariz (Portland, Ore.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Data transfer rates input to and output from electronic devices are a function of I/O pad circuit structure. The load capacitance of an I/O pad may reduce the bandwidth of an I/O circuit. A reduced pad capacitance circuit may be used to reduce or eliminate the positive and physical pad capacitance ass...
