US Patent Issued to Cadence Design Systems on Nov. 18 for "Methods and circuits for inner-eye timing center detection and clock phase alignment" (California Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 18 -- United States Patent no. 12,476,653, issued on Nov. 18, was assigned to Cadence Design Systems Inc. (San Jose, Calif.).

"Methods and circuits for inner-eye timing center detection and clock phase alignment" was invented by Nanyan Wang (Cupertino, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A receiver may sample an amplitude-modulated input signal expressed as a series of symbols using a clock signal with edges aligned to the symbols. Repeated symbols and the level transitions between them may form signal eyes. The receiver may detect the inner signal eyes and aligns the phase of the clock signal relative to the symbols responsive to the detected timing center of signal e...
