Abstract

Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a bootstrapping module and logic circuits utilizing the bootstrapping module to compensate for a weak high condition. The bootstrapping module can be implemented using transistors have a single channel type that is the same as the channel type of transistors utilized in the logic circuits such that a truly unipolar circuit can be realized while addressing the weak high problem of such unipolar circuits.

Fast frequency divider circuit using combinational logic

Patent Helinski, Ryan

The various technologies presented herein relate to performing on-chip frequency division of an operating frequency of a ring oscillator (RO). Per the various embodiments herein, a conflict between RO size versus operational frequency can be addressed by dividing the output frequency of the RO to a frequency that can be measured on-chip. A frequency divider circuit (comprising NOR gates and latches, for example) can be utilized in conjunction with the RO on the chip. In an embodiment, the frequency divider circuit can include a pair of latches coupled to the RO to facilitate dividing the oscillating frequency of the ROmore » « less

Systems and methods for micromechanical displacement-based logic circuits

Patent Panas, Robert Matthew; Bekker, Logan; Mancini, Julie; ...

The present disclosure relates to a micromechanical displacement logic, signal propagation system that makes use of first and second bistable elements, and first and second mounting structures arranged adjacent opposing surfaces of the first bistable element. A plurality of pivotal lever arms are used to support the first bistable element in either one of two positions of equilibrium. A support structure and a compressible flexure element disposed between the support structure and the first mounting structure apply a preload force to the first mounting structure, which imparts the preload force to the first bistable element. The first bistable element ismore » « less

Nanoeletromechanical switch and logic circuits formed therefrom

Patent Nordquist, Christopher D [Albuquerque, NM]; Czaplewski, David A [Albuquerque, NM]

A nanoelectromechanical (NEM) switch is formed on a substrate with a source electrode containing a suspended electrically-conductive beam which is anchored to the substrate at each end. This beam, which can be formed of ruthenium, bows laterally in response to a voltage applied between a pair of gate electrodes and the source electrode to form an electrical connection between the source electrode and a drain electrode located near a midpoint of the beam. Another pair of gate electrodes and another drain electrode can be located on an opposite side of the beam to allow for switching in an opposite direction.more » « less

Circuit board and method of forming same

Patent Girardi, Michael

A circuit board comprising a substrate and a circuit trace. The substrate includes a surface etched via ion milling over a circuit area such that the surface has an increased roughness. The circuit trace forms portions of an electronic circuit and may be created from a thin conductive film deposited on the surface within the circuit area. The circuit trace adheres more strongly to the roughened substrate surface, which prevents the circuit trace from peeling or becoming delaminated from the substrate surface.

Integrated circuits with programmable gate timing signal generation for power converters and apparatus comprising the same

Patent Zhang, Xin; Takken, Todd Edward; Wu, Chung-shiang; ...

An apparatus is disclosed that includes a semiconductor device to control a power converter having two or more power FETs. The semiconductor device includes a gate signal generator configured to produce two or more gate signals able to drive the two or more FETs. The gate signal generator has programmable timing configuration parameters to control operation of the two or more gate signals, wherein the timing configuration parameters are digitally programmed via a memory in the semiconductor device. The memory may be implemented with fuses, other non-volatile memory or volatile memory. The parameters may be fixed or updated during amore » « less
