    Abstract: A system and method are provided for controlling a switching voltage regulator circuit. An energy difference between a stored energy of a switching voltage regulator and a target energy is determined. A control variable of the switching voltage regulator is computed based on the energy difference and the control variable is applied to a current control mechanism of the switching voltage regulator. In one embodiment, the control variable is pulse width of a control signal.

    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for executing casting-arithmetic instructions. The method comprises receiving a casting-arithmetic instruction that specifies an arithmetic operation to be performed on input data and at least one casting operation of an input casting operation and an output casting operation. Upon determining that the casting-arithmetic instruction specifies the input casting operation, the input casting operation is performed on identified terms comprising the input data. Then the arithmetic operation is performed on the input data to generate an arithmetic result. Upon determining that the casting-arithmetic instruction specifies the output casting operation, the output casting operation is performed on the arithmetic result.

    Abstract: A method and a system are provided for speculative periodic synchronization. A phase value representing a measured phase of the second clock signal relative to the first clock signal measured at least one cycle earlier is received. A period value representing a period of the second clock signal relative to the first clock signal measured at least one cycle earlier is also received. A reduced timing margin is determined based on the phase value and the period value. A speculatively synchronized output signal is generated based on the reduced timing margin.

    Abstract: A magnetic power supply coupling system is disclosed. An integrated circuit module includes an integrated circuit die and a secondary winding that is configured to generate an induced, alternating current based on a magnetic flux. A primary winding is external to the integrated circuit module, proximate to the integrated circuit module, and coupled to a main power supply corresponding to an alternating current that generates the magnetic flux. The induced, alternating current is converted into a direct current at a voltage level to supply power to the integrated circuit die.

    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a mechanism for transmitting and receiving ground-referenced single-ended signals. A transmitter combines a direct current (DC) to DC converter including a flying capacitor with a 2:1 clocked multiplexer to drive a single-ended signaling line. The transmitter drives a pair of voltages that are symmetric about the ground power supply level. Signaling currents are returned to the ground plane to minimize the generation of noise that is a source of crosstalk between different signaling lines. Noise introduced through the power supply is correlated with the switching rate of the data and may be reduced using an equalizer circuit.

    Abstract: A method and a system are provided for synchronizing a signal. A keep out window is defined relative to a second clock signal and an edge detection signal is generated that indicates if an edge of a first clock signal is within the keep out window. The edge detection signal may be filtered. An input signal is received in a domain corresponding to the first clock signal and a delayed input signal is generated. Based on the edge detection signal or the filtered edge detection signal, either the input signal or the delayed input signal is selected, to produce an output signal in a domain corresponding to the second clock signal.

    Abstract: A system and method are provided for controlling a soft-switched modified buck regulator circuit. A voltage (Vx) across or a current through a pull-down switching mechanism within the modified buck regulator circuit is sensed when the pull-down switching mechanism is enabled, where the pull-down switching mechanism is coupled to an upstream end of an inductor and is coupled in parallel with a capacitor. A target time when the pull-down switching mechanism will be disabled (tlf) is computed and the pull-down transistor is disabled at the computed target time.
