摘要:
A field-programmable gate array (“FPGA”) may include data receiver and/or transmitter circuitry that is adapted to receive and/or transmit data at any frequency(ies) or data rate(s) in a wide range of possible frequencies or data rates. Phase-locked loop (PLL) circuitry may be needed for operation of such receiver and/or transmitter circuitry. For satisfactory operation over the wide frequency range, multiple PLL circuits are provided. One of these PLL circuits may be capable of operating over the entire frequency range, possibly with better jitter performance in some portions of the range than in other portions of the range. One or more other PLL circuits may be provided that are focused on particular parts of the broad range, especially where the jitter performance of the first-mentioned PLL may not be adequate to meet some possible needs.

摘要:
It has been surprisingly discovered that administration of nitrite to subjects causes a reduction in blood pressure and an increase in blood flow to tissues. The effect is particularly beneficial, for example, to tissues in regions of low oxygen tension. This discovery provides useful treatments to regulate a subject's blood pressure and blood flow, for example, by the administration of nitrite salts. Provided herein are methods of administering a pharmaceutically-acceptable nitrite salt to a subject, for treating, preventing or ameliorating a condition selected from: (a) ischemia-reperfusion injury (e.g., hepatic or cardiac or brain ischemia-reperfusion injury); (b) pulmonary hypertension (e.g., neonatal pulmonary hypertension); or (c) cerebral artery vasospasm.

A programmable logic device (PLD) includes a circuit that controls a supply voltage of at least a portion of the circuitry within the PLD (such as a block, a sub-block, or a region). The circuit also filters noise within the PLD. Controlling the supply voltage allows trading off various performance characteristics, such as speed and power consumption.

A programmable logic integrated circuit device has a plurality of regions of programmable logic disposed on the device in a plurality of intersecting rows and columns of such regions. Interconnection resources (e.g., interconnection conductors, signal buffers/drivers, programmable connectors, etc.) are provided on the device for making programmable interconnections to, from, and/or between the regions. At least some of these interconnection resources are provided in two forms that are architecturally similar (e.g., with similar and substantially parallel routing) but that have significantly different signal propagation speed characteristics. For example, a major or larger portion of such dual-form interconnection resources may have what may be termed normal signal speed, while a smaller minor portion may have significantly faster signal speed. Secondary (e.g., clock and clear) signal distribution may also be enhanced, and so may be input/output circuitry and cascade connections between adjacent or nearby logic modules on the device.

In a programmable logic device (“PLD”), a serial interface incorporating phase-locked loops (“PLLs”) is provided with connections that allow one or more of the PLLs to be used as general purpose PLLs in the PLD. The connections include conductors to allow reference clock signals from the PLD logic core, or from outside the PLL, to be used by the PLLS, as well as conductors that allow the PLD core to control the phases of the PLLs. For some of the PLLs, conductors to allow the PLL output clock to be used by the PLD are also provided, where such output conductors do not normally exist in such a serial interface.
摘要:
A programmable logic device has many regions of programmable logic, together with relatively general-purpose, programmable, interconnection resources that can be used to make interconnections between virtually any of the logic regions. In addition, various types of more local interconnection resources are associated with each logic region for facilitating the making of interconnections between adjacent or nearby logic regions without the need to use the general-purpose interconnection resources for those interconnections. The local interconnection resources support flexible clustering of logic regions via relatively direct and therefore high-speed interconnections, preferably in both horizontal and vertical directions in the typically two-dimensional array of logic regions. The logic region clustering options provided by the local interconnection resources are preferably boundary-less or substantially boundary-less within the array of logic regions.

An output buffer has internal circuitry connected between an input node and an output node. The internal circuitry includes a quiet voltage supply connected to a first set of transistors of the internal circuitry and a noisy voltage supply connected to a second set of transistors of the internal circuitry. The noisy voltage supply is at a voltage level higher than the quiet voltage supply. The first set of transistors and the second set of transistors provide isolation between the noisy voltage supply and the quiet voltage supply. The first set of transistors and the second set of transistors also provide complete digital high and low internal signal levels by using at least one transistor operative to supplement the complete shut-off and turn-on of transistors of the first set of transistors and the second set of transistors. The output buffer also features a ground bounce circuit, a slew rate control circuit, a transition accelerator circuit, a Personal Computer Interface (PCI) compatibility circuit, and a PCI control circuit.
