MUMBAI, India, Feb. 27 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641017675 A) filed by Ramachandra College Of Engineering, Eluru, Andhra Pradesh, on Feb. 17, for 'a novel adaptive clocking strategies for near-threshold computing in advanced vlsi nodes.'
Inventor(s) include Mrs. Y. Lavanya; Pammi Bhuvana Sri; and Chintamakala Sabitha.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 27, under issue no. 09/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This invention introduces a novel adaptive clocking strategy tailored for near-threshold computing in advanced VLSI nodes, aiming to balance ultra-low power operation with high performance amid manufacturing variabilities and environmental factors. The method employs dynamic clock adjustment techniques that respond to real-time metrics, reducing energy waste in sub-5nm processes where static clocking falls short. Key components include voltage-aware sensors, predictive controllers, and multi-phase clock generators, interconnected to form a responsive ecosystem. The procedure involves continuous monitoring, data-driven predictions, and automated tuning, resulting in enhanced energy efficiency with 35-45% reductions in dynamic power and improved timing margins. Novel features include AI-assisted adaptation that learns from chip-specific behaviors, outperforming conventional methods by 25% in variability tolerance. Applications encompass battery-powered IoT devices, edge AI processors, wearable electronics, and automotive systems, fostering sustainable advancements in semiconductor technology."
