Patents by Inventor Andrew McCraith

Andrew McCraith has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Precision, temperature stable clock using a frequency-control circuit and a single oscillator
    Patent number: 8138846
    Abstract: A frequency-control circuit, which is configured to receive a first signal having a first untuned frequency from a first oscillator, and to alter one or more pulses of the first signal to tune an output frequency of an output clock signal to have an average frequency at the desired target frequency. In some embodiments, the frequency-control circuit receives a signal from a single oscillator to generate a calibrated, precise, and temperature-stable clock.
    Type: Grant

  • Precision, temperature stable clock using a frequency-control circuit and dual oscillators
    Patent number: 7764131
    Abstract: A frequency-control circuit, which is configured to receive a first signal having a first untuned frequency from a first oscillator, and to alter one or more pulses of the first signal to tune an output frequency of an output clock signal to have an average frequency at the desired target frequency. In some embodiments, the two oscillators of intentionally different frequencies are periodically switched at a duty factor, which is dependent on an absolute temperature, to generate a calibrated, precise, and temperature-stable clock.
