US Patent Issued to Movellus Circuits on June 23 for "Metastability-tolerant droop response apparatus and method" (Michigan Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 15 -- United States Patent no. 12,665,584, issued on June 23, was assigned to Movellus Circuits Inc. (Ann Arbor, Mich.).

"Metastability-tolerant droop response apparatus and method" was invented by Xiao Wu (Ann Arbor, Mich.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "An integrated circuit (IC) chip includes a voltage supply circuit to provide a supply voltage. A droop detection circuit couples to the voltage supply circuit to detect a reduction in the supply voltage and to generate a droop detection signal based on the reduction in the supply voltage. Asynchronous response circuitry couples to the droop detection circuit. The asynchronous response circuitry is responsive to the droop...
