ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 25 -- United States Patent no. 12,719,454, issued on Aug. 25, was assigned to Rambus Inc. (San Jose, Calif.).
"Methods and circuits for slew-rate calibration" was invented by Cosmin Iorga (Beaverton, Ore.).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Described is an integrated circuit with a driving amplifier that transmits a signal over a link (e.g. a wire) by raising and lowering a voltage on the link. A reference oscillator provides an error measure for the rate at which the voltage transitions between voltages, the slew rate. Slew-rate calibration circuitry adjusts the driving amplifier responsive to the error measure."
