ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 28 -- United States Patent no. 12,451,876, issued on Oct. 21, was assigned to NVIDIA Corp. (Santa Clara, Calif.).
"Asynchronous control of phase shift using an injection-locked-oscillator-based phase rotator" was invented by Yi-Chieh Huang (Zhubei, Taiwan), Bo-Yu Chen (Taichung, Taiwan), Po-Shuan Weng (Hsinchu, Taiwan) and Ying Wei (San Jose, Calif.).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A circuit includes a phase selector to generate an injection clock signal having an injection phase based on a phase of a digitally controlled oscillator clock signal generated within a phase-locking feedback loop. An injection-locked oscillator (ILO), coupled to an output of the phase selector,...
