Patents by Inventor Leonard E. Mohrmann

Leonard E. Mohrmann 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: 8966308
    Abstract: A source clock system clock domain is selected by communication of the desired clock domain from a receiver clock system through a clock line, such as through a clock differential pair. For instance, the source clock system signals available clock domains by selectively altering the polarity of a first clock line of the pair and the receiver clock system selects from the available clock domains by altering the polarity of a second clock line of the pair. Polarity is altered by selectively interfacing a resistor with the clock lines and then removing the resistor interface when the clock signal associated with the selected clock domain is sent by the source clock system.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7002859
    Abstract: An information handling system includes a computer system having at least one integrated circuit formed on a die. The integrated circuit includes an output circuit and a device pin operably connected with the output circuit. A load resistor (or other type of load or termination component) and a test switch for selectively connecting the load resistor to the output circuit are also formed on the die. In one aspect, the load resistor is selected to correspond with a representative system load.
