Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
An integrated circuit includes first circuitry (1010) and sleep transistor circuitry (SL3). The first circuitry receives input signals and processes the input signals. The first circuitry also retains data in a sleep signal that has a negative voltage. The sleep circuitry reduces power consumption of the first circuitry in the sleep state to have low leakage based on the sleep signal while retaining the data in the first circuitry.

Why it's free to use
- Filed January 20, 2005 and granted January 12, 2016. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended January 20, 2025.
- Certificates of supplementary protection extend only drug patents, and it isn't classified as one.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
