US Patent Issued to QUALCOMM on Aug. 12 for "Hybrid clocking scheme for SERDES physical layer circuits" (California Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 12 -- United States Patent no. 12,388,692, issued on Aug. 12, was assigned to QUALCOMM Inc. (San Diego).

"Hybrid clocking scheme for SERDES physical layer circuits" was invented by Chiu Keung Tang (San Diego) and Zhiqin Chen (San Diego).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method for generating clock signals includes dividing an input clock signal to obtain a first in-phase output clock signal, dividing an inverted version of the input clock signal to obtain a first quadrature output clock signal, delaying edges in the input clock signal to obtain a second quadrature output clock signal, selecting a full-rate output to provide a multiphase output clock in a first mode of oper...
