US Patent Issued to Google on July 8 for "Adaptive frequency control in integrated circuits" (California Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 9 -- United States Patent no. 12,353,266, issued on July 8, was assigned to Google LLC (Mountain View, Calif.).

"Adaptive frequency control in integrated circuits" was invented by Derek James Basehore (Mountain View, Calif.) and Nick Sanders (Saratoga, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "This document describes systems and techniques for adaptive frequency control in integrated circuits. In response to operating conditions that permit a lower frequency of a clock signal, the described systems and techniques dynamically reduce the clock frequency without adjusting the frequency of an input clock signal. The clock frequency is decreased by gating a fraction of the input ...
