Patents by Inventor Yohei YASUDA

Yohei YASUDA 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: 10403341
    Abstract: A semiconductor integrated circuit includes a register, a detection circuit, and a generation circuit. The register stores a detection start timing of a reference delay amount based on a first clock during a first period. The first period is a period in which the first clock starts to be input. The detection circuit has a plurality of delay stages. The detection circuit detects the reference delay amount at the start timing during the first period and obtains the number of delay stages corresponding to the reference delay amount. The generation circuit adjusts a duty ratio of the first clock based on the number of delay stages obtained by the detection circuit and generates a second clock during a second period. The second period is a period continuing from the first period.

  • Patent number: 9679617
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an amplifier includes a first inverter which inverts and delays a first signal to generate a second signal. A second inverter inverts and delays a third signal to generate a fourth signal. A first transistor includes a gate electrode supplied with the second signal. A second transistor includes a gate electrode supplied with the fourth signal. An output terminal is coupled to one terminal of the second transistor and outputs a fifth signal. A third inverter inverts and delays the fifth signal to generate a sixth signal. A first discharge circuit discharges one terminal of the first transistor and the one terminal of the second transistor based on the first, sixth, or fourth signal, and includes one terminal coupled to the other terminal of each of the first and second transistors.
