The memory array may be configured to store a second plurality of data words where each data word may include M data bits, and where M is an integer greater than N. The memory array may be further configured to retrieve a given data word of the second plurality of data words dependent upon the decoded first and second portions.

    Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure involve a circuit and/or method for providing a static random access memory (SRAM) component of a very large scale integration (VLSI) design, such as a microprocessor design. In particular, the present disclosure provides for an SRAM circuit that includes a step voltage regulator coupled to the SRAM circuit and designed to maintain a fixed-value voltage drop across the regulator rather than a fixed voltage across the load of the SRAM circuit. The fixed-value drop across the regulator allows the SRAM circuit to be operated at a low retention voltage to reduce leakage of the SRAM circuit while maintaining the parasitic decoupling capacitance across the power supply from the SRAM circuit to reduce power signal fluctuations. In addition, the regulator circuit coupled to the SRAM circuit may include a switch circuit to control the various states of the SRAM circuit.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide low-noise arrangements for very-large-scale integration (VLSI) differential input/output (I/O) structures (I/O pins, solder bumps, vias, etc.). Novel geometries are described for arranging differential pairs of I/O structures in perpendicular or near-perpendicular “quads.” The geometries effectively place one differential pair on or near the perpendicular bisector of its adjacent differential pair, such that field cancellation and differential reception can substantially eliminate noise without the need for added spacing or shields. By exploiting these effects, embodiments can suppress noise, independent of I/O structure spacing, and arbitrarily small spacings are permitted. Such arrangements can be extended into running chains, and even further into arrays of parallel chains. The parallel chains can be separated by supply structures (e.g., power supply bumps, or the like), and such supply structures can supply power to the I/O circuits of the IC, while also shielding adjacent chains from each other.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method for encoding data are disclosed that may allow for variable run length encoding of data to be transmitted. An ordered stream of data bits is received from a logic circuit, and N sequential data bits of the stream are selected, where N is a positive integer. Of the N sequential data bits, M sequential data bits are selected, wherein M is a positive integer less than N. The M sequential data bits are then encoded to generate a code word that includes P data bits, wherein P is a positive integer greater than M and less than N. The code word is then concatenated with a subset of the N sequential data bits that excludes the M sequential data bits to form a transmission word. A transmit unit then sends the data bits of the transmission word in a serial fashion.
