Patents by Inventor Oscar Sebastian Burbano

Oscar Sebastian Burbano 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: 10749717
    Abstract: A demodulator for pulse-width modulated clock signals is disclosed. In one aspect, the demodulator includes an edge detector configured to detect transitions in a reference clock and output a signal indicative of timing of the detected transitions. The demodulator may also include a modulation detection circuit configured to identify modulation events of at least one pulse-width modulated pulse in the reference clock based on the signal output from the edge detector and output a signal indicative of the at least one pulse-width modulated pulse modulation event being identified. The demodulator may further include a retiming circuit configured to generate an output clock synchronized with the at least one pulse-width modulated pulse modulation event based on the signal output from the modulation detection circuit.

  • Patent number: 9735787
    Abstract: An agile frequency synthesizer with dynamic phase and pulse-width control is disclosed. In one aspect, the frequency synthesizer includes a count circuit configured to modify a stored count value by an adjustment value. The frequency synthesizer also includes an output clock generator configured to generate an output clock signal having rising and falling edges that are based at least in part on the stored count value satisfying a count threshold. The count circuit is further configured to alter at least one of the period or phase of the output clock signal based at least in part on modifying an adjustment rate of the count circuit.
