Application: Fractional frequency divider and flash memory controller (Patent ID: US20240080030A1)
The present invention by Silicon Motion Technology Corp. is a fractional frequency divider designed to generate an output clock signal by masking part of an input clock signal. The system includes registers, a counter, a control signal generator, and a clock gating circuit. The counter generates counter values corresponding to the registers, and the control signal generator generates a control signal based on these values to control the clock gating circuit.
The patent claims describe a flash memory controller coupled to a flash memory module, with a control logic that includes a clock signal generator, fractional frequency divider, and digital circuit. The fractional frequency divider can be disabled in normal mode and enabled in power-saving mode to generate an output clock signal for the digital circuit to operate. The digital circuit can function as an encoder, decoder, randomizer, or de-randomizer, providing flexibility and efficiency in memory device operations.
