  • Methods and apparatus for a temporal synchronization unit
    Patent number: 11294760
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology may comprise a method and apparatus for a temporal synchronization circuit. The temporal synchronization circuit may be configured to operate in conjunction other integrated circuits to align data received from a plurality of sensors. The temporal synchronization circuit generates time stamps for generated data that are used to correct for any temporal deviation in the data received from the sensors to mitigate fault conditions that may be generated by misaligned data. The temporal synchronization circuit may also generate a power management scheme based on the particular characteristics of a SRAM to adjust power requirements according to any temporal deviation in the received sensor data.
