Julian Selvaraj 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).

  • Level shifter device with write assistance and method thereof
    Patent number: 7679419
    Abstract: A first transistor of a level shifter provides conductivity between a reference voltage and a node of the level shifter to hold a state of the level shifter output. When an input signal of the level shifter switches, additional transistors assist in reducing the conductivity of the first transistor. This enhances the ability of the level shifter to change the state of the output in response to the change in the input signal, thereby improving the writeability of the level shifter.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: March 16, 2010
    Assignee: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
