Abstract: Disclosed is a method wherein selective voltage binning and leakage power screening of integrated circuit (IC) chips are performed. Additionally, pre-test power-optimized bin reassignments are made on a chip-by-chip basis. Specifically, a leakage power measurement of an IC chip selected from a voltage bin can is compared to a bin-specific leakage power screen value of the next slower voltage bin. If the leakage power measurement is higher, the IC chip will be left in the voltage bin to which it is currently assigned. If the leakage power measurement is lower, the IC chip will be reassigned to that next slower voltage bin. These processes can be iteratively repeated until no slower voltage bins are available or the IC chip cannot be reassigned. IC chips can subsequently be tested according to testing parameters, including the minimum test voltages, associated with the voltage bins to which they are finally assigned.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to mobile computing devices and, more particularly, to environmentally aware mobile computing devices and methods of use. The method is implemented in a computer infrastructure which has computer executable code tangibly embodied on a computer readable storage medium having programming instructions operable to: place a mobile computing device into a power savings mode when a environmental condition is below a sensor threshold value for a predetermined time period; and place the mobile computing device into a powered up state when the environmental condition exceeds the sensor threshold value.

Abstract: Devices include a primary transmission system, and first and second duplicate (dummy or non-transmitting) transmission systems. The primary transmission system includes a primary transmitter circuit receiving a data signal, a primary transmission line connected to the primary transmitter circuit, and a primary receiver circuit connected to the primary transmission line. The first duplicate transmission system is connected to the primary transmitter circuit, and supplies a transmission timing control signal to the primary transmitter circuit. The primary transmitter circuit stops transmitting (e.g., stops reducing the voltage of the primary transmission line) when the transmission timing control signal is received. The second duplicate transmission system is connected to the primary receiver circuit, and supplies an output timing control signal to the primary receiver circuit, and the primary receiver circuit outputs the data signal when the output timing control signal is received.
