    Abstract: The disclosed principles provide for implementing low-cost and fast metallic printing processes into the QFN and other no-leads package assembly flow to selectively print solderable material in areas that would otherwise be susceptible to corrosion and thus pose reliability risks. The problem of copper corrosion and poor BLR performance in no-leads packages because of remaining exposed copper areas after package singulation is solved by employing selective metallic printing processes in the assembly flow to coat all risk-prone areas with solder material. For example, for no-leads packages that are formed using printed leadframes, solder can be deposited through inkjet, screen, stencil, or photonic printing into the grooves which are formed after passivating the packages at the strip level. The singulating occurs through the grooves having solder printed therein, and results in wettable upper and sidewall surfaces of the outer ends of the leadframe for each package.

    Abstract: In an example, a method includes receiving image data of an input image having lines therein. The method also includes storing a first portion of the image data in a circular buffer in a first memory, wherein the first portion begins at a circular buffer start line in the input image and ends at a circular buffer end line in the input image. The method includes storing a second portion of the image data in a linear buffer in a second memory, where the second portion is non-overlapping with the first portion. The method includes processing the second portion of the image data to produce a first block of an output image. The method includes processing the first portion of the image data to produce a second block of the output image.

    Abstract: Devices, instructions stored on non-transitory processor-readable mediums, and programming tools are provided. In an example, instructions specify reading a first customer identification value from a first memory on a device; reading a second customer identification value from a first field in a certificate; determining whether the first customer identification value matches the second customer identification value; permitting application data to be read from a second field in the certificate in response to determining that the first customer identification value matches the second customer identification value; and permitting the application data to be written to a second memory on the device in response to determining that the first customer identification value matches the second customer identification value.

    Abstract: A system for data transmission includes a physical (PHY) layer which has a rate detection module which determines an adopted clock rate. The rate detection module provides a rate detection signal indicative of the adopted clock rate. The PHY layer includes a reference clock generator which has an input coupled to receive the rate detection signal and an output to provide a reference clock output. The PHY layer includes a PHY interface which has a first input coupled to receive the reference clock output, a data input and a data output. The PHY interface receives data from a MAC interface at the data input and transmits data to the MAC interface through the data output responsive to the reference clock output.

    Abstract: An apparatus comprises processor cores and computer-readable mediums storing machine instructions for the processor cores. When executing the machine instructions, the processor cores obtain received signals for transmitted chirps from a radar sensor circuit. Each transmitted chirp comprises an A chirp segment, a time gap, and a B chirp segment, respectively. The processor cores sample the received signals to obtain sampled data matrices M1(A) for the A chirp segments and M1(B) for the B chirp segments. The processor cores perform a first Fourier transform (FT) on each column of M1(A) and M1(B) to obtain velocity matrices M2(A) and M2(B), respectively. The processor cores apply a phase compensation factor to M2(B) to obtain a phase corrected velocity matrix M2(B′), and concatenate M2(A) and M2(B′) to obtain an aggregate velocity matrix M2(A&B′). The processor cores perform a second FT on each row of M2(A&B′) to obtain a range and velocity matrix M3(A&B′).

    Abstract: Several systems, methods and integrated circuits capable of reducing blocking artifacts in video data are disclosed. In an embodiment, a system for reducing blocking artifacts in video data includes a processing module and a deblocking module. The deblocking module comprises a luma deblocking filter and a chroma deblocking filter configured to filter an edge between adjacent blocks associated with the video data, where a block of the adjacent blocks corresponds to one of a prediction block and a transform block. The processing module is communicatively associated with the deblocking module and is operable to configure at least one filter coefficient corresponding to the chroma deblocking filter based on one or more filter coefficients corresponding to the luma deblocking filter. The processing module is further configured to cause the chroma deblocking filter to filter the edge between the adjacent blocks based on the configured at least one filter coefficient.
