    摘要: A delay locked loop operates over a wide range of frequencies and has high accuracy, small silicon area usage, low power consumption and a short lock time. The DLL combines an analog domain and a digital domain. The digital domain is responsible for initial lock and operational point stability and is frozen after the lock is reached. The analog domain is responsible for normal operation after lock is reached and provides high accuracy using smaller silicon area and low power.

    摘要: A lookup table for searching for a longest prefix match for a key is disclosed. The lookup table provides a match for a key in a single search cycle. The number of matches stored in the lookup table is maximized by storing each match in only one location in the lookup table. The binary tree is divided into a plurality of levels and each level has a plurality of subtrees. A subtree descriptor stored for a subtree includes a field for each node in the subtree. The state of the field indicates whether an entry for the node is stored in the table. The bit vector allows indexing of the single match stored for the key.

    摘要: A plurality of entities are stored in a single addressable location in a Content Addressable Memory (CAM). A column in a CAM entry is selected for storing an entity based on the property of the entity to distribute the entities among the columns to maximize memory utilization. A match for a search key stored in one of the plurality of columns can be found in a single search operation.

    摘要: A delay locked loop includes initialization circuitry that ensures that a DLL is initialized to an operating point that is not to close to either end of a delay vs. control voltage characteristic. The initialization circuitry forces the DLL to initially search for a lock point starting from an initial delay, the delay is varied in one direction, forcing the DLL to skip the first lock point. The initialization circuitry only allows the DLL to vary the delay of the voltage controlled delay loop in the one direction from the initial delay until the operating point is reached.

    摘要: A lookup unit matrix combines a plurality of lookup units to provide a longest prefix match for a search key longer than the lookup unit's mapper key. A portion of the search key is provided to each of the plurality of lookup units in a single search request issued to the lookup unit matrix. Each lookup unit in the lookup unit matrix performs a multi-level search for the result value based on the portion of the search key forwarded as the mapper key and the result of a multilevel search in the previous lookup unit. The search results in a value corresponding to the search key stored in a single location in one of the lookup units.

    摘要: A Content Addressable Memory array includes a plurality of coupled sub-blocks arranged in rows and columns. Search data received by a first sub-block in a first column of the CAM is propagated to each sub-block in the row to the last sub-block in the last column of the CAM. The search result for the CAM is selected based on the propagated search results for each row of sub-blocks and output on a side of the array opposite from the side receiving the search data.

    摘要: A systematic method for single-rail domino logic circuits is provided, in which inverting and non-monotonic logic functions can be integrated into a pipelined system with almost zero overhead. This logic family, called Clock Logic (CL)-domino is functionally complete while tolerating skew and minimizing the number of clock phases that must be distributed. Simulation results for a CL-domino ALU at 1-GHz under high skew (1-FO4) conditions, shows a power reduction of 41% over the same ALU implemented in dual-rail skew-tolerant domino logic. This power reduction incurs no performance penalty over dual-rail techniques, although in some cases additional design effort is required.
