Abstract:
Balanced-delay programmable logic array and a method for balancing programmable logic array delays provide improved performance in circuits employing programmable logic. By adding transistors to the programming plane that do not form part of the logic implementation, the capacitance on each of the input logic lines can be balanced, substantially reducing the skew between signals entering the final logic gates. This provides programmable logic arrays that may implement asynchronous logic in applications where skew was previously prohibitive and further increases the reliability of state evaluations in synchronous logic.
Abstract:
A dynamic programmable logic array for implementing control logic in a microprocessor provides higher clock frequencies for data processing systems. The programmable logic array has a reduced propagation delay by virtue of partitioning of the interconnects within the OR plane of the array.
Abstract:
A data transfer circuit for read data operations in a memory circuit employs a two-stage bit switch. True and compliment bit lines from a memory cell array are coupled to gates of a pair of transistors in a first stage bit switch. The data from the bit lines is thus transferred to a pair of read data nodes without a DC connection, so charge-sharing is avoided. Also, this allows the data to be extracted without a full logic-level swing of the bit lines, so faster operation is provided. The data from the data nodes is transferred to a pair of data lines through a second-stage bit switch activated by a timing input. The differential voltage on the bit lines is enhanced by a sense amplifier, and, also, the use of the first-stage bit switch allows the bit lines to be precharged to only half the logic level, speeding up operation; this sense amplifier is activated before the timing input for the second-stage bit switch. The data lines are precharged then selectively discharged through source-to-drain paths of the transistors of the first and second stage bit switches.

Abstract:
A data re-transmission management scheme capable of improving the communication efficiency. In a data re-transmission from a server to a plurality of terminals through a communication network, any abnormal terminal including a busy terminal and/or a poor performance terminal among the plurality of terminals is detected, and each abnormal terminal is managed separately from other normal terminals, at the server. A management of data transmission and re-transmission from the server to the normal terminals is carried out first, and then a management of a re-transmission of only unreceived data of each abnormal terminal from the server to each abnormal terminal is carried out, after a completion of the data transmission and re-transmission with respect to the normal terminals.
