Patents by Inventor Eric V. Pohlmann

Eric V. Pohlmann 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: 12229406
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for speed bins to support memory compatibility are described. A host device may read a value of a register including serial presence detect data of a memory module. The serial presence detect data may be indicative of a timing constraint for operating the memory module at a first clock rate, where the timing constraint and the first clock rate may be associated with a first speed bin. The host device may select, for communication with the memory module, a second speed bin associated with a second clock rate at the host device and the timing constraint, where the host device may support operations according to a set of timing constraints that includes a set of values. The timing constraint may be selected from a subset of the set of timing constraints, where the subset may be exclusive of at least one of the set of values.
