US Patent Issued to Silicon Laboratories on Aug. 4 for "Baudrate tracking with a cost function engine for pattern detection" (Texas Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 5 -- United States Patent no. 12,700,986, issued on Aug. 4, was assigned to Silicon Laboratories Inc. (Austin, Texas).

"Baudrate tracking with a cost function engine for pattern detection" was invented by Guner Arslan (Austin, Texas).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A synchronization pattern detector is disclosed. The synchronization pattern detector includes a plurality of cost function engines which each calculate a partial cost of a subset of the incoming data bits. The cost function engines are arranged in a two dimensional array where each row processes data samples associated with a particular phase of the incoming data bits. These partial costs are summed together to...
