ALEXANDRIA, Va., March 5 -- United States Patent no. 12,243,600, issued on March 4, was assigned to Micron Technology Inc. (Boise, Idaho).

"Voltage detection for managed memory systems" was invented by Yoav Weinberg (Toronto) and Evgeni Bassin (Pleasanton, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Methods, systems, and devices for voltage detection for managed memory systems are described. In some cases, a memory system may include circuitry to monitor one or more supply voltages to the memory system or voltages generated by the memory system to determine whether a voltage rises above an operational range. In some cases, an overvoltage detector may include an undervoltage detector that has been t...
