    Abstract: An apparatus includes first agents configured to transfer transactions using an ordered protocol, as well as second agents configured to transfer transactions using a protocol with no enforced ordering. The apparatus may also include input/output (I/O) interfaces coupled to respective ones of the first agents and configured to enforce the ordered protocol. The apparatus may further include a communication network including a plurality of network switches. A particular one of the network switches may be coupled to at least one other network switch of the plurality. The apparatus may also include a network interface coupled to the second agents, to the I/O interfaces, and to the particular network switch. This network interface may be configured to transfer data transactions between the second agents and the particular network switch, and to transfer data transactions between the I/O interfaces and the particular network switch.

    Abstract: A system includes a plurality of systems-on-a-chip (SoCs), connected by a network. The plurality of SoCs and the network are configured to operate as a single logical computing system. The plurality of SoCs may be configured to exchange local power information indicative of network activity occurring on their respective portions of the network. A given one of the plurality of SoCs may be configured to determine that a local condition for placing the respective portion of the network corresponding to the given SoC into a reduced power mode has been satisfied. The given SoC may be further configured to place the respective portion of the network into the reduced power mode in response to determining that a global condition for the reduced power mode is satisfied. The global condition may be assessed based upon current local power information for remaining ones of the plurality of SoCs.

For example, the first topology may a ring topology and the second topology may be a mesh topology. In an embodiment, coherency may be enforced on the first network and the second network may be a relaxed order network.

    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing a low power filter. A low power filter may generate a reference sum from a reference vector in order to reduce the number of additions which are needed to filter an input sample vector. The reference sum may be used as the starting point for filtering the input sample vector. Then, each input sample of the input sample vector may be compared to a corresponding reference vector sample. If an input sample is different from the corresponding reference vector sample, a correction value based on the corresponding filter coefficient value may be added or subtracted from the reference sum. After all input samples have been compared to corresponding reference vector values and all correction values applied to the reference sum, the modified reference sum may be the output of the filter.

    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing a low power decimator. A decimator may receive a plurality of input samples from a digital microphone. The decimator may include one or more coefficient tables for storing values combining two or more filter coefficients for filtering the received samples. The decimator may utilize a concatenation of multiple samples to perform a lookup of a corresponding coefficient table. The coefficient tables may store only the necessary non-redundant values for all coefficient combinations which can be applied to the multiple samples. The result of the lookup of the coefficient table may have its sign inverted or be zeroed based on the values of the multiple samples.

    Abstract: An electronic circuit includes transmit-side circuitry and receive-side circuitry. The transmit-side circuitry belongs to a first domain of the circuit and is configured to transmit a data signal from the first domain to a second domain of the circuit. The receive-side circuitry belongs to the second domain and is configured to receive the transmitted data signal. The receive-side circuitry is configured to transfer to the transmit-side circuitry a read pointer value indicative of a readout position in a buffer memory that buffers the data signal, and to retain the read pointer value in a non-volatile element that is accessible to the transmit-side circuitry.

    Abstract: A system for a given device may include a plurality of systems on a chip (SOCs). Each SOC may include an interface circuit and a bridge circuit for communicating with other SOCs. The interface circuit of an SOC may include a plurality of communication devices to transfer data packets from/to the SOC to the other SOCs. The bridge circuit may provide various control functions for the interface circuit. An indication may be generated when the system enters an idle mode. In response, the bridge circuit may generate signal(s) to cause some of the communication devices of the interface circuit into a low power state. The interface circuit may obtain the signal(s) and accordingly transition some of the communication devices to the low power state.
