Patents by Inventor Sergey Y. Shumarayev

Sergey Y. Shumarayev 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: 7109743
    Abstract: Programmable logic device integrated circuitry having differential I/O circuitry is provided. The differential I/O circuitry may include output drivers for providing differential digital output data signals across pairs of output lines. A user may program the I/O circuitry to accommodate different high-speed differential I/O signaling standards. The user may also program the I/O circuitry to provide a desired amount of preemphasis to the output data signals.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 7, 2005
    Date of Patent: September 19, 2006
    Assignee: Altera Corporation

  • Patent number: 6985010
    Abstract: Integrated circuit devices are provided that include power detection circuits that indicate whether power supplies have reached functional voltage levels. The power detection circuits include latches coupled to power supplies that can detect whether all the power supplies have reached functional voltage levels, logic circuits to provide appropriate output signals, and well bias circuits that supply current to the power detection circuits. Well bias circuits provide current from first power supplies to reach functional voltage levels so that indication may be provided from the power detection circuit without requiring functional voltage levels of all power supplies. Outputs from power detection circuits can be combined with control signals, for various applications. Applications include holding an integrated circuit device in reset until power supplies have reached functional voltage levels.

  • Patent number: 6831480
    Abstract: Programmable logic device integrated circuitry having I/O circuitry portions having different maximum speed capabilities and different amounts of programmability for supporting various I/O signaling standards is provided. High-speed I/O circuitry and low-speed I/O circuitry may be provided. The high-speed I/O circuitry may have differential I/O drivers and may not be programmable. Relatively few I/O lines may be connected to the high-speed I/O circuitry. The low-speed I/O circuitry may be programmable so that a user may configure the low-speed I/O circuitry to support different I/O signaling standards. Intermediate-speed I/O circuitry may be provided that is more flexible than the high-speed circuitry and operates at higher maximum I/O data rates than the low-speed I/O circuitry.
