Mark Goikhman 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).

  • Clock/power-domain crossing circuit with asynchronous FIFO and independent transmitter and receiver sides
    Patent number: 10048893
    Abstract: An electronic circuit includes transmit-side circuitry and receive-side circuitry. The transmit-side circuitry belongs to a first domain of the circuit and is configured to transmit a data signal from the first domain to a second domain of the circuit. The receive-side circuitry belongs to the second domain and is configured to receive the transmitted data signal. The receive-side circuitry is configured to transfer to the transmit-side circuitry a read pointer value indicative of a readout position in a buffer memory that buffers the data signal, and to retain the read pointer value in a non-volatile element that is accessible to the transmit-side circuitry.
