US Patent Issued to STMicroelectronics International on Oct. 6 for "Protection in asynchronous finite state machine" (Italian Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 6 -- United States Patent no. 12,754,795, issued on Oct. 6, was assigned to STMicroelectronics International N.V. (Geneva).

"Protection in asynchronous finite state machine" was invented by Enrico Papa (Arvier, Italy).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "According to an embodiment, a protection circuit for an asynchronous finite state machine (AFSM) circuit is proposed. The protection circuit includes a state decoder configured to generate a first state error signal in response to detecting a state fault condition associated with the AFSM circuit; a fault de-glitch subcircuit configured to receive the first state error signal and generate a second state error signal in response...
