US Patent Issued to XILINX on March 11 for "Deterministic reset mechanism for asynchronous gearbox FIFOs for predictable latency" (Singaporean, American Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., March 12 -- United States Patent no. 12,248,761, issued on March 11, was assigned to XILINX INC. (San Jose, Calif.).

"Deterministic reset mechanism for asynchronous gearbox FIFOs for predictable latency" was invented by Riyas Noorudeen Remla (Singapore) and Warren E. Cory (Redwood City, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Embodiments herein describe a solution for deterministic de-assertion of write and read resets of an asynchronous gearbox FIFO having unequal write and read data bit widths. Proposed approaches look for a stable region between read and write clock phases by sweeping one of the clock phases until the leading edges (phases) of both clocks are aligned then re...
