Abstract:
Systems, methodologies, media, and other embodiments associated with validating a bus are described. One exemplary system embodiment includes an integrated circuit operably connectable to a bus, the bus being connectable to an external device configured to drive one or more electrical signals onto the bus. The integrated circuit may comprise a first logic configured to receive a test sequence of electrical signals from the bus, a second logic configured to produce a check sequence of electrical signals related to the test sequence of electrical signals, and a compare logic operably connected to the first logic and the second logic. The compare logic may be configured to determine whether the bus is correctly transmitting data based, at least in part, on comparing the test sequence and the check sequence.
Abstract:
A method for making an optical device includes the steps of: rubbing an orienting film so as to stretch the molecular structure thereof and so as to permit the molecular units of the molecular structure to be aligned along a first axis and to permit the orienting space between each adjacent pair of the molecular units of the molecular structure to be oriented in a direction parallel to a second axis; and forming an optical anisotropical layer on the orienting film by applying a liquid crystal film of rod-like molecules on the orienting film which orients the rod-like molecules by virtue of spatial effect of the molecular units and the orienting spaces.

Abstract:
A voltage generator includes a controllable voltage divider, a pull-up circuit and a first pull-down circuit. The controllable voltage divider is utilized for generating an output voltage at an output node of the controllable voltage divider according to a first reference voltage, a second reference voltage, and a control signal, wherein the second reference voltage is lower than the first reference voltage. The pull-up circuit is coupled to the output node of the controllable voltage divider and the first reference voltage, and is utilized for selectively connecting the first reference voltage to the output node of the controllable voltage divider. The first pull-down circuit is coupled to the output node of the controllable voltage divider and the second reference voltage, and is utilized for selectively connecting the second reference voltage to the output node of the controllable voltage divider.
Abstract:
A voltage booster and a memory structure using the same are provided. When a data storage unit in the memory structure is in normal operation, all voltage pumps in the voltage booster are turned on for boosting a supply voltage. However, when the data storage unit is in standby state, in the voltage booster, some voltage pumps are turned on while other voltage pumps are turned off, for boosting the supply voltage. Accordingly, the standby current and power consumption are reduced and the pump efficiency is improved.
