Patents by Inventor Cong-An Lu

Cong-An Lu 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: 12470208
    Abstract: A gating-based receiver circuit is provided. The receiver circuit includes a gating signal generator, receiving a first and second input signals and reference voltage to output a gating signal, wherein an adaptive reference voltage is generated by the first and second input signals and the reference voltage; and a receiver, receiving the first and second input signals and the gating signal to provide a receiver output signal. In response to both the first input signal and the second input signal being higher than the adaptive reference voltage, the gating signal disables the receiver, and in response to one of the first input signal and the second input signal being lower than the adaptive reference voltage, the gating signal enables the receiver.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11381225
    Abstract: A single ended receiver includes a current mode logic circuit, a differential to single amplifier, and a voltage detector. The current mode logic circuit is configured to receive an input signal and a reference voltage value and is configured to output a first output signal. The differential to single amplifier is coupled to the current mode logic circuit and is configured to receive the first output signal and to output a second output signal. The voltage detector is coupled to the differential to single amplifier and is configured to output a control signal to the differential to single amplifier according to the reference voltage value. The differential to single amplifier is further configured to adjust a voltage value of the differential to single amplifier internal signal according to the control signal, so that a duty cycle of the second output signal is adjusted.
