Patents by Inventor Hsiao-Ching Chuang

Hsiao-Ching Chuang 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: 9355693
    Abstract: Embodiments include systems, methods, and apparatuses for reading a data signal from a memory, such as a dynamic random access memory (DRAM). In one embodiment, a memory receiver may include a differential amplifier to receive a data signal from the memory and pass a differential output signal based on a voltage difference between the data signal and a reference voltage. The data signal may have a first direct current (DC) average voltage level, and the differential amplifier may shift the differential output signal to a second DC average voltage level that is substantially constant over a range of values of the first DC average voltage level. In another embodiment, a voltage offset compensation (VOC) circuit may apply a compensation voltage to the output signal that is based on an activated rank or an identity of the memory module. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 8144529
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention describe a memory device comprising a delay line and a feedback circuit coupled to the delay line. The feedback circuit has the capability to adjust a delay interval, which is then locked on the delay line. The feedback circuit is switched off after the delay interval is locked to reduce power consumption. The feedback circuit periodically switches on to adjust and lock the delay interval.
