Patent number: 11658570Abstract: A digital control scheme controls an integrator of a PID filter to implement non-linear control of saturating the duty cycle during which the proportional and derivative terms of the PID filter are set to 0 while the integrator and its internal states (previous values or memory) is set to a duty cycle that is the sum of the current nominal duty cycle plus a deltaD. The deltaD is the maximum duty cycle increment that is used to regulate a voltage regulator from ICCmin to ICCmax and is a configuration register that can be set post silicon. An FSM moves from a non-linear all ON state to an open loop duty cycle which maintains the output voltage slightly higher than the required Vref. After a certain period in this open loop, the FSM then ramps down the open loop duty cycle value until the output voltage is close to the Vref.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2020Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Harish Krishnamurthy, Sheldon Weng, Nachiket Desai, Suhwan Kim, Fabrice Paillet

Patent number: 11658572Abstract: For a buck-boost DC-DC converter with n-type high-side field effect transistor (HSFET), a supply is derived from input and output rails, and this supply maintains a constant differential voltage independent of input supply voltage.

A wide range ultra-low IQ (Quiescent current), edge triggered level-shifter provides support to a bootstrapped power stage of the inverting buck-boost DC-DC converter. When p-type HSFET is used, a supply is derived from the input and output supply rails, and this derived supply maintains a constant differential voltage independent to the input supply voltage. The derived supply is used as the low supply (LS) or ‘ground’ of the HSFET Driver. As such, the p-type HSFET resistance becomes independent of supply variation.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2020Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Nikunj Gandhi, Gaurav Garg, Apratim Chatterjee, Shobhit Tyagi, Sudhir Polarouthu, Guruvara Nanda Kishore Mutchakarla

Patent number: 11658217Abstract: Disclosed herein are IC structures, packages, and devices assemblies that use ions or fixed charge to create field plate structures which are embedded in a dielectric material between gate and drain electrodes of a transistor. Ion- or fixed charge-based field plate structures may provide viable approaches to changing the distribution of electric field at a transistor drain to increase the breakdown voltage of a transistor without incurring the large parasitic capacitances associated with the use of metal field plates. In one aspect, an IC structure includes a transistor, a dielectric material between gate and drain electrodes of the transistor, and an ion- or fixed charge-based region within the dielectric material, between the gate and the drain electrodes. Such an ion- or fixed charge-based region realizes an ion- or fixed charge-based field plate structure. Optionally, the IC structure may include multiple ion- or fixed charge-based field plate structures.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2019Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Han Wui Then, Marko Radosavljevic, Glenn A.

Patent number: 11658144Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a package substrate that includes first and second electrical traces. The integrated circuit includes first, second, third, and fourth configurable dies, which are mounted on the package substrate. The first and second configurable dies are arranged in a first row. The third and fourth configurable dies are arranged in a second row, which is approximately parallel to the first row. The first and third configurable dies are arranged in a first column. The second and fourth configurable dies are arranged in a second column, which is approximately parallel to the first column. The first electrical trace couples the first and third configurable dies, and the second electrical trace couples the second and third configurable dies. The second electrical trace is oblique with respect to the first electrical trace. The oblique trace improves the latency of signals transmitted between dies and thereby increases the circuit operating speed.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2021Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Md Altaf Hossain, Ankireddy Nalamalpu, Dheeraj Subbareddy

Patent number: 11659066Abstract: Systems and techniques for dynamic computation in an information centric network (ICN) are described herein. An interest packet to perform a computation may be received at a first interface of an ICN node. The ICN node may then perform a lookup in a forwarding information base (FIB) to identify a second interface to forward the interest packet. The interest packet may be forwarded on the second interface. Upon receipt of a data packet on the second interface in response to the interest packet, the ICN node may update an entry in the FIB for the second interfaces with a processing payload included in the data packet. The ICN node may then transmit the data packet downstream towards the originator of the interest packet.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2020Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Gabriel Arrobo Vidal, Srikathyayani Srikanteswara, Daojing Guo
