    摘要: A programmable logic device (PLD) comprises at least one configurable element, and a plurality of programmable logic elements for configuring the configurable element(s). Alternatively, a PLD comprises an interconnect structure and a plurality of programmable logic elements for configuring the interconnect structure. In either embodiment, at least one of the programmable logic elements includes N memory cells. A predetermined one of the N memory cells forms part of a memory slice, wherein at least a portion of each slice of the programmable logic device is allocated to either configuration data or user data memory. Typically, one memory slice provides one configuration of the programmable logic device. In accordance with one embodiment, a memory access port is coupled between at least one of the N memory cells and either one configurable element or the interconnect, thereby facilitating loading of new configuration data into other memory slices during the one configuration. The new configuration data may include off-chip or on-chip data. The present invention typically allocates at least one slice to user data memory and includes means for disabling access to at least one of the N memory cells.

    摘要: In one embodiment an IC is disclosed which includes a plurality of cascaded digital signal processing slices, wherein each slice has a multiplier coupled to an adder via a multiplexer and each slice has a direct connection to an adjoining slice; and means for configuring the plurality of digital signal processing slices to perform one or more mathematical operations, via, for example, opmodes. This IC allows for the implementation of some basic math functions, such as add, subtract, multiply and divide. Many other applications may be implemented using the one or more DSP slices, for example, accumulate, multiply accumulate (MACC), a wide multiplexer, barrel shifter, counter, and folded, decimating, and interpolating FIRs to name a few.

    摘要: Apparatuses and methods for performing minimally invasive medical procedures are disclosed herein. In one example, an apparatus includes an elongate body that has a deformable distal portion and defines a lumen, the lumen extends through the deformable distal portion. The deformable distal portion has a cutting portion and defines an opening. The elongate body has a first configuration in which the opening is a first size and a second configuration in which the opening is a second size smaller than the first size of the opening. The elongate body in the first configuration is configured to be percutaneously inserted at least partially into a tissue such that at least a portion of the tissue is disposed within the lumen. The elongate body is configured to move to the second configuration when the elongate body reaches a threshold temperature while inserted in the tissue.

    摘要: Programmable logic devices (PLDs) including self-repairing RAM circuits, and methods of automatically replacing defective columns in RAM arrays. A RAM circuit including redundant columns is tested during the PLD configuration sequence using a built in self test (BIST) procedure. If a defective column is detected, an error flag is stored in an associated volatile memory circuit. After the BIST procedure is complete, the PLD configuration process continues. The presence of the error flag causes the configuration data to bypass the defective column and to be passed directly into a replacement column. The configuration process continues until the remainder of the circuit is configured, including the redundant column. In other embodiments, the BIST procedure is initiated independently from the PLD configuration process. When a defective column is detected, user operation resumes with data being shunted from the defective column to a redundant column in a fashion transparent to the user.

    摘要: A clock signal is monitored to detect a transition from a first logic state to a second logic state. Once this transition is detected, subsequent transitions of the clock signal are ignored for a predetermined time period during which signal interference is most significant. After lapse of the predetermined time period, the clock signal is again monitored to detect subsequent state transitions. In some embodiments, the clock signal is delayed using a delay circuit to produce a delayed clock signal which is used to force the clock signal to the second logic state for a predetermined time period. In one embodiment, the predetermined time period is user-selectable via one or more selectable taps on the delay circuit.
