Abstract:
A mobile device includes a communications protocol stack including a MAC layer and TCP layer separated by an IP layer. A cross-layer coordination module parallel to the communications protocol stack is coupled to both the MAC layer and TCP layer. The MAC layer generates a message sent to the cross-layer coordination module indicating that the mobile device is about to engage in a communications handover from a first base station to a second base station. The cross-layer coordination module passes handover information to the TCP layer so as to inform the TCP layer of the communications handover. If the mobile device is operating as a TCP sender, the TCP layer freezes its connection and state during the communications handover. If the mobile device is operating as a TCP receiver, the TCP layer sends a TCP ACK message to a TCP sender having an advertised window size set to a zero value so as to cause the TCP sender to freeze a connection and state during communications handover.
Abstract:
A system for recovering an architecture register mapping table (ARMT). The system includes a first number of collection circuits and decode circuits, a second number of selection circuits, and an enable circuit. Information related to the mapping between each physical register and an appropriate architecture register is obtained from a physical register mapping table (PRMT) by one and only one collection circuit during only one of a fourth number of instruction cycles. Each decode circuit has its input coupled to the output of one different collection circuit and is capable of converting its input into a third number bit wide binary string selection code at its output. Each selection circuit is configured to receive from each selection code a bit from a bit position associated with that selection circuit. The enable circuit is configured to appropriately enable mapping of information from the PRMT to the ARMT.
Abstract:
A comparison circuit can reduce the amount of power consumed when searching a load queue or a store queue of a microprocessor. Some embodiments of the comparison circuit use a comparison unit that performs an initial comparison of addresses using a subset of the address bits. If the initial comparison results in a match, a second comparison unit can be enabled to compare another subset of the address bits.
Abstract:
A method of operating a display includes performing a non-synchronized touch scan pattern on a display with a controller coupled to the display. The non-synchronized touch scan pattern schedules touch scans independent of a refresh rate of the display. Upon the controller detecting a first synchronization pulse from a display controller coupled to the controller and the display, a first pulse-checking timer is started. Upon detecting a second synchronization pulse from the display controller and before the first pulse-checking timer expires, a first display refresh rate for the display is obtained from an interval between the first synchronization pulse and the second synchronization pulse. A synchronized touch scan pattern is performed with the controller, and is scheduled to avoid touch scans coinciding with refreshes of the display performed at the first display refresh rate.
Abstract:
A method of starting a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) with field oriented control (FOC) includes: opening a first control loop of the PMSM; setting a first direction for a first current component of the PMSM; aligning a rotor of the PMSM to the first direction; after aligning the rotor, setting a second direction for the first current component, where the second direction is rotated from the first direction by 90 degrees; after setting the second direction, starting the rotor while the first control loop of the PMSM remains open; after starting the rotor, increasing a rotation speed of the rotor by operating the first control loop in a first closed-loop mode; and after increasing the rotation speed of the rotor, controlling the rotation speed of the rotor by operating the first control loop in a second closed-loop mode different from the first closed-loop mode.
Abstract:
An electronic device described herein includes a touch screen for a touch sensitive display carried by a portable housing. The electronic device is configured to operate in a high. detection threshold mode to determine whether an object is in contact with the touch sensitive display, and operate in a low detection threshold mode to determine whether the object is adjacent to the touch sensitive display, based on lack of detection of the object being in contact with the touch sensitive display. The electronic device is further configured to determine whether the object is in contact with a peripheral edge of the portable housing by determining whether the object is adjacent opposite sides of the touch sensitive display, based on detection of the object being adjacent to the touch sensitive display.
Abstract:
Embodiments of a processor architecture efficiently implement shadow registers in hardware. A register system in a processor includes a set of physical data registers coupled to register renaming logic. The register renaming logic stores data in and retrieves data from the set of physical registers when the processor is in a first processor state. The register renaming logic identifies ones of the set of physical registers that have a first operational state as a first group of registers and identifies the remaining ones of the set of physical registers as a second group of registers in response to an indication that the processor is to enter a second processor state from the first processor state. The register renaming logic stores data in and retrieves data from the second group of registers but not the first group of registers when the processor is in the second processor state.
Abstract:
Embodiments of a processor architecture utilizing multi-bank implementation of physical register mapping table are provided. A register renaming system to correlate architectural registers to physical registers includes a physical register mapping table and a renaming logic. The physical register mapping table has a plurality of entries each indicative of a state of a respective physical register. The mapping table has a plurality of non-overlapping sections each of which having respective entries of the mapping table. The renaming logic is coupled to search a number of the sections of the mapping table in parallel to identify entries that indicate the respective physical registers have a first state. The renaming logic selectively correlates each of a plurality of architectural registers to a respective physical register identified as being in the first state. Methods of utilizing the multi-bank implementation of physical register mapping table are also provided.
