Patent number: 9651600Abstract: A power up detecting system for generating one of a first power up detecting signal and a second power up detecting signal as the final power up detecting signal, according to power provided by a power supplier. The power up detecting system comprises: a power up detecting module, controlled by a control signal to generate the first power up detecting signal in a first mode and to generate the second power up detecting signal in a second mode, wherein a voltage level of the first power up detecting signal is transited when the power reaches a first predetermined voltage value, and the voltage level of the second power up detecting signal is transited when the power reaches a second predetermined voltage value; where the first predetermined voltage value is higher than the second predetermined voltage value.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2015Date of Patent: May 16, 2017Assignee: NANYA TECHNOLOGY CORP.Inventor: Wayne A. Batt

Patent number: 8049530Abstract: A method and circuitry for calibration of the output impedance of output driver circuits in an integrated circuit is disclosed. The output drivers within an area on the integrated circuit are defined as a group, and an output model indicative of the operation of the output drivers and used to calibrate their output impedances is provided proximate to the output drivers. A state machine is used to query each output model, and to set the proper output enable signals for the enable transistors in the output drivers in each group so as to calibrate their output impedances. By decentralizing the output models, the process used to form the output models will, due to proximity to the output drivers in each group, be indicative of the process used to form the output drivers. Thus, when each group of output drivers is calibrated, the output models used for each will compensate for process variations as may occur across the surface of the integrated circuit.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2009Date of Patent: November 1, 2011Assignee: Round Rock Research, LLCInventor: Wayne Batt
