  • Patent number: 9761304
    Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a static random access memory array. The static random access memory array includes at least two cores, wherein only one of the cores is written at a time. The integrated circuit further includes a tristate driver. The tristate driver is configured to apply a high impedance state to one of the cores that is not being written. A corresponding electronic dataset product includes a description for the integrated circuit expressed in a hardware description language. A corresponding computer-implemented method generates an electronic description for the integrated circuit expressed in a hardware description language.

  • Patent number: 7224190
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of hardware logic circuits and in particular to dynamic hardware logic implemented in computer processors, and more particularly, to an integrated circuit comprising a dynamic logic function implementing a predetermined logic function with a plurality of transistor stacks, the integrated circuit comprising a precharge node at the input of said logic function implementation, an output latch connected to the output node of said logic function for stabilizing the result of the evaluation of said logic function. The present invention provides such integrated dynamic circuit with a latch, which is protected against instability even in situations involving complex logic functions which are evaluated and their output states are saved by said output latch.
