Ching-Da CHAN 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: 9991876
    Abstract: A master-slave flip-flop includes a master latch, a slave latch, a first logic gate and a signal transition detector. The first logic gate is receiving a reference clock and a first control clock, and outputting a first trigger signal to control one of the master latch and the slave latch, which are connected with a logic circuit, to switch to an opaque state or a transparent state, wherein the other one of the master latch and the slave latch is switched to an opaque state or a transparent state according to the reference clock. The above-mentioned master-slave flip-flop can correct sampling when a timing error occurs.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9608603
    Abstract: A sampling circuit includes a first latch, a second latch and a signal transition detector. The first latch is disposed on an upstream side of a logic circuit. The second latch is disposed on a downstream side of the logic circuit. The first latch and the second latch respectively switch to opposite states of an opaque state or a transparent state according to trigger signals generated by a reference clock and a control clock. The signal transition detector is configured for detecting whether the signal outputted by the logic circuit is in error or not and outputting a corresponding control clock. The above-mentioned sampling circuit can delay switching the second latch to the opaque state and switching the first latch to the transparent state to correct sampling when a timing error occurs.
