Patents by Inventor Adit D. Singh

Adit D. Singh 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: 7696774
    Abstract: The present invention describes systems and methods to provide defect-tolerant logic devices. An exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a defect-tolerant logic device including a plurality of CMOS gates and at least one defective CMOS gate included within the plurality of CMOS gates. Additionally, the at least one defective CMOS gate is enabled to be reconfigured into a pseudo-NMOS transistor if a P-network of the at least one defective CMOS gate is diagnosed as defective. Furthermore, the at least one defective CMOS gate is enabled to be reconfigured into a pseudo-PMOS transistor if the N-network of the at least one defective CMOS gate is diagnosed as defective.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 20, 2008
    Date of Patent: April 13, 2010

  • Publication number: 20080281541
    Abstract: A system and method for determining the early life reliability of an electronic component, including classifying the electronic component based on an initial determination of a number of fatal defects, and estimating a probability of latent defects present in the electronic component based on that classification with the aim of optimizing test costs and product quality.
