  • Patent number: 11003209
    Abstract: According to an embodiments, an electronic device may include a foldable housing including a hinge module; a first housing connected to the hinge module and including a first surface, a second surface, and a first side member; and a second housing. The first side member includes a first side surface having a first length; a second side surface extended toward the hinge module; a third side surface extended from the second side surface so as to at least partially coincide with the hinge module; and a processed area extended from the first side surface to the third side surface. A vertical distance between a first boundary line between the processed area and the first surface and a second boundary line between the processed area and the second surface is substantially equal across the first side surface, the second side surface, and/or the third side surface. Other embodiments are possible.

  • Patent number: 11003143
    Abstract: Provided is clock signal generator configured to generate a target output clock signal based on a reference clock signal, the clock signal generator includes a digital-to-time converter (DTC) configured to delay a reference clock signal based on an input code to generate a delay clock signal, and output the delay clock signal, a DTC controller configured to determine an initial gain value of the DTC based on a result of comparing at least one delay amount of the DTC with a period of a previously generated output clock signal, and generate the input code based on the initial gain value, and a phase locked loop configured to generate the target output clock signal based on the delay clock signal and a division clock signal of the previously generated output clock signal, the target output clock signal being locked to the delay clock signal.
