    摘要: Methods and apparatus for spreading and concentrating information are taught. The present invention relates to constant-weight encoding of data words on a parallel data line bus while allowing communication of information across sub-word paths. In one embodiment, of the present invention, data transfer rates previously obtained only with differential architecture are achieved by only a small increase in line count above single ended architecture. For example, an 18-bit data word requires 22 encoded data lines for transmission, where previously, 16 and 32 lines would be required to transmit un-coded data with single-ended and differential architectures respectively. Constant-weight parallel encoding maintains constant current in the parallel-encoded data lines and the high and low potential driver circuits for the signal lines.

    摘要: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates changing a clock frequency in a memory system. During operation, the system receives a command to change the clock frequency to a new clock frequency. The system then iteratively changes the clock frequency to the new clock frequency. More specifically, the system starts an iteration by slewing the clock frequency toward the new clock frequency by an increment to reach an intermediate frequency without interfering with normal memory-system operation. Next, the system signals a memory controller to pause normal memory system operation by completing or cancelling all in-flight or outstanding memory system operations and not accepting additional memory operation requests. Upon receiving an acknowledgement from the memory controller that all in-flight or outstanding memory operations have completed or terminated, the system signals the memory controller to cause a delay-locked loop (DLL) inside the memory system to relock to the intermediate frequency. When the DLL relocks to the intermediate frequency, the system completes the iteration by resuming normal memory system operation.

    摘要: A system and method for reducing reflections in a transmission line and for recovering energy from the load in the transmission during the process. At least three drive signal levels are utilized. The transition from the second level to the third level during a rising transition and the transition from the second level to the first level during a falling transition is timed to coincide with the arrival of the reflected signal from the immediately-preceding transition. A capacitor is advantageously used as the source for the intermediate drive signal levels and advantageously facilitates energy recovery and conservation.

    摘要: A multiphase resonant pulse generator (74) has N groups of N−1 switches (44,46,48) which, when activated, form N paths from a power supply ((Vdc)) to ground or a reference voltage. Here N is a positive integer greater than 2. Each of the paths includes an inductance (38,40,42) and N−1 switches. The signal outputs (X1,X2,X3) from each of the N paths are cross coupled to switches belonging to the other N−1 paths to active or deactivate the groups of switches.

    摘要: A flexible, hermetically sealed enclosure device allows for the controlled insertion of an implantable device into the body of a patient. A series of bellows can be used to interconnect a number of rigid containers, each containing electronic or other components necessary for the implantable device. The bellows provide flexibility, columnar strength, and torqueability (for steering), while protecting the internal components. The bellows also can be welded to the containers to form a hermetic seal that can be electrically continous, whereby standard wiring and components can be used without fear of corrosion or contamination. Such an enclosure can be used with systems such as an intravascular implantable pacing, drug delivery, or defibrillation system.

    摘要: High performance clock-powered logic runs at below supply levels and reduces the need for faster digital logic circuitry. In a preferred embodiment, a clocked buffer is used to drive the signal line. The receiving end of the line is connected to a jam latch, preferably followed by an n-latch, followed by the digital logic, and followed by a second n-latch. The first n-latch is eliminated in an alternate embodiment, preferably one that uses complementary data signals.
