Patents by Inventor Cobus Van Eeden

Cobus Van Eeden 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).

  • Patent number: 10515036
    Abstract: A memory management circuit includes a direct memory access (DMA) channel. The DMA channel includes logic configured to receive a buffer of data to be written using DMA. The DMA channel further includes logic to perform bit manipulation in real-time during a DMA write cycle of the first buffer of data.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 24, 2018
    Date of Patent: December 24, 2019
    Assignee: MICROCHIP TECHNOLOGY INCORPORATED

  • Patent number: 10048089
    Abstract: A system may have a digital period divider generating an output signal that is proportional to an angle defined by a rotational input signal and an interval measurement unit determining an interval time of an interval defined by succeeding pulses of the input output signal. In an enhancement, the system may also have a missing pulse detector which is operable to compare a current interval with a parameter to determine whether a pulse is missing in the input signal.

  • Patent number: 8908823
    Abstract: A digital period divider has a first counter with R least significant bits (LSB) and P most significant bits (MSB) having a count input and a reset input, wherein the count input receives a first clock signal and the reset input receives a second clock signal; a latch having P bits and being coupled with the P bits of the first counter; a second counter having P bits and a count input and a reset input, wherein the count input receives the first clock signal; and a first comparator operable to compare the P bits of the latch with the P bits of the second counter and generating an output signal, wherein the output signal is also fed to the reset input of the second counter.
