ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 8 -- United States Patent no. 12,730,955, issued on Sept. 8, was assigned to TEXAS INSTRUMENTS Inc. (Dallas).
""Weak" undriven state modelling for power management verification" was invented by Lakshmanan Balasubramanian (Bengaluru, India) and Venkatraman Ramakrishnan (Bengaluru, India).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A "weak" undriven state is defined as a signal state, distinguished from conventional unknown and high impedance states, and methods of representing this "weak" undriven state in circuit modelling and power aware digital/mixed-signal simulations for comprehensive and complete RTL-level design verification. The conventional unknown state refers to a circuit e...
