    摘要: A method of balancing signal interconnect path delays between an analog domain and a digital domain of an integrated circuit includes applying a test signal to a selected one of a plurality of communication paths between the analog domain and the digital domain. A rising edge delay and a falling edge delay of the test signal is equalized by adjusting a body bias voltage of a delay element configured within the selected communication path. A rising edge delay and a falling edge delay for each of the remaining communication paths is compared with the equalized rising edge delay and falling edge delay of the selected communication path, and a body bias voltage for one or more of a plurality of delay elements configured within each of the remaining communication paths is adjusted until corresponding rising and falling edge delays thereof match the equalized rising edge delay and falling edge delay of the selected communication path.

    摘要: A method and system for supporting simultaneous operation of operating systems on a single integrated circuit. The system includes a supervisory operating system (SOS) managing execution of instructions, each instruction being executable under one of the operating systems; registers grouped into multiple sets of registers, each set maintaining an identity of one of the operating systems; and a dispatcher capable of dispatching an instruction and a tag attached to the instruction, the tag identifying one of the operating systems and the instruction to be executed under the identified operating system to access one of the registers. One or more of the registers are utilized when the instruction is executed, and are included in a single set of the multiple sets of registers. The single set maintains the identity of the operating system identified by the tag, and each of the one or more registers includes an identifier matching the tag.

    摘要: A system for determining a relative amount of usage of a data retaining device are disclosed. A charge storing device is coupled to a data retaining device in a manner that a use of the data retaining device triggers a charging of the charge storing device. In a period that the data retaining device idles, charges in the charge storing device decay due to natural means. As such, a potential of the charge storing device may be used to indicate an amount of usage of the data retaining device. A comparison of the potentials of two charge storing devices coupled one-to-one to two data retaining devices may be used as a basis to determine a relative amount of usage of each of the two data retaining devices comparing to the other.

    摘要: A method, system and computer program product reducing clock noise generated by clock signals in an integrated circuit (IC) are disclosed. Conventional IC design attempts to ensure coincident clock active edge arrival times for all clocked elements. The coincident active clock edges generate coincident noise currents, which elevates the total noise current. The current invention assigns clock arrival times for clocked elements of an IC based on a desired clock arrival time distribution such that active clock edges are not coincident. As a consequence, the total noise would be spread over a large portion of the clock cycle, thus reducing the noise magnitude substantially.
