US Patent Issued to QUALCOMM on Oct. 7 for "Hybrid clocking scheme for SERDES physical layer circuits" (California Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 8 -- United States Patent no. 12,436,558, issued on Oct. 7, was assigned to QUALCOMM Inc. (San Diego).

"Hybrid clocking scheme for SERDES physical layer circuits" was invented by Nitz Saputra (San Diego) and Sameer Wadhwa (San Diego).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A first inverter in a clock generation circuit is coupled to an input clock signal and has multiple driver slices. Each driver slice includes first transistors that have gates coupled to the input clock signal, second transistors that have sources coupled to rails of a power supply. Each of the second transistors has a drain coupled to a source of one of the first transistors. The second transistors are turned o...
