    Abstract: The invention provides a clock select circuit and method which uses feedback arrangements between latches in different branches, with each branch for coupling an associated clock signal to the circuit output. An override circuit is provided in one of the feedback arrangements for preventing a latching delay in that feedback arrangement. This enables rapid switching between clocks in both directions.

    Abstract: A technique for managing power in an embedded processing system includes generating a workload model for the embedded processing system in response to a control signal, an event status signal, and a reference clock signal. The control signal is received from a peripheral device. The event status signal is received from an event processor configured to control execution of tasks by a processor core of the embedded processing system. The technique includes providing power configuration information to the processor core. The power configuration information corresponds to an operating point selected based on the control signal, the event status signal, the reference clock signal, the workload model, and a predetermined energy model.

    Abstract: A level shifter circuit is described herein for shifting a signal from a first voltage domain to a second voltage domain. The level shifter circuit includes two current paths between a supply terminal of the first voltage domain and a supply terminal of the second voltage domain. The first and second current paths each include a differential transistor that receives a signal from a pulse generator in a first voltage domain. The pulse generator provides pulses to the differential transistors based on an input signal to be translated to the second voltage domain. The level shifter includes a latch circuit in the second voltage domain that includes two inputs where each input is biased at a node of one of the current paths. Each current path includes a bias transistor whose control terminal receives a compensated biasing voltage for biasing the bias transistor. The compensated biasing voltage is compensated to account for drive strength variation of at least one transistor in each current path.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit comprising a set of data processing units including a first data processing unit and at least one second data processing unit operable at variable frequencies is disclosed. The integrated circuit further includes an instruction scheduler adapted to evaluate data dependencies between individual instructions in a received plurality of instructions and assign the instructions to the first data processing unit and the at least one second data processing unit for parallel execution in accordance with said data dependencies. The integrated circuit is operable in a first power mode and a second power mode. The second power mode is a reduced power mode compared to the first power mode and is adapted to adjust the operating frequency of the first data processing unit and the at least one second data processing unit in the second power mode as a function of the evaluated data dependencies.
