    摘要: A self-adjusting circuit provides a reverse body bias to circuitry in a DROWSY mode. Memory cells having the appropriate skews are supplied with a changing operating voltage potential, causing a memory cell to fail and determining the correct back bias potential VSS to supply that improves operation of the processor in a low power standby mode.

    摘要: In a pixel having an electronic shutter, a method of increasing the retention time of the electronic shutter is disclosed. A reset signal is employed to drive a diode node to a predetermined voltage immediately after integration is completed. A sample signal is employed to control a pass gate. The sample signal includes a state where the sample signal is a negative voltage.

    摘要: This disclosure relates generally to physically unclonable function (PUF) circuitry along with methods of generating numbers. In one embodiment, the PUF circuitry includes a memory, a memory control circuitry, and whitening circuitry. To reduce or eliminate the systematic bias from the array, whitening circuitry is configured to generate a random number comprising random number bits in response to the memory control circuit implementing at least one sequence of memory cycles on the array of the memory cells in the memory. The whitening circuitry is configured to provide the random number bits of the random number based on the variable bit states stored by the array of the memory cells. On average the whitening circuitry is configured to provide approximately half of the random number bits in the first bit state and half of random number bits in a second bit state.

    摘要: Instruction issue circuits are disclosed that are configured to issue multiple instructions within a superscalar pipeline of a microprocessor. The instruction issue circuit includes an instruction queue that stores instructions. A ready generation circuit is operably associated with the instruction queue and generates ready signals that indicate which instructions in the instruction queue are ready for execution. To simplify the instruction issue circuit, the instruction issue circuit has group blocks. Each group block receives a different group of the ready signals corresponding to a different group of the instructions. Each group block generates a group output indicating a group set within the corresponding group of the instructions that has a highest instruction execution priority and are ready for execution. By splitting the ready signals into groups, the groups of ready signals can be processed in parallel thereby reducing both the resulting delay and complexity of the instruction issue circuit.
