Patents by Inventor Venkatseema Das

Venkatseema Das 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: 11990914
    Abstract: In described examples, a first clock generator generates an output clock signal in response to an input reference signal and in response to a feedback signal that is generated in response to the output clock signal. A code generator generates a code in response to the input reference signal. A loss detector generates an indication of a loss of the input reference signal in response to the feedback signal and at least two codes generated by the code generator.

  • Publication number: 20230006681
    Abstract: A phase-locked loop (PLL) includes a phase-frequency detector (PFD) having a first PFD input, a second PFD input, and a PFD output. The PFD is configured to generate a first signal on the PFD output. The first signal comprises pulses having pulse widths indicative of a phase difference between signals on the first and second PFD inputs. A low pass filter (LPF) has an LPF input and an LPF output. The LPF input is coupled to the PFD output. A flip-flop has a clock input and a flip-flop output. The clock input is coupled to the LPF output. A lock-slip control circuit is coupled to the flip-flop output and to the first PFD input. The lock-slip control circuit is configured to determine phase-lock and phase-slip based at least in part on a signal on the flip-flop output.
