摘要:
An embodiment device comprises a processing circuit and IP circuitry coupled to a power supply line, wherein the IP circuitry has an IP circuitry supply threshold for IP circuitry operation. A supply monitor circuit is coupled to the power supply line to sense the voltage on the power supply line and to switch the processing circuit to a low-power mode as a result of a drop in the voltage on the power supply line. The supply monitor circuit comprises a threshold setting node and is configured to be deactivated as a result of the voltage on the power supply line dropping below a deactivation threshold level set at the threshold setting node. A threshold setting circuit is configured to apply to the threshold setting node of the supply monitor circuit the IP circuitry supply threshold as a result of the processing circuit being in the low-power mode.

A communication interface couples a transmission circuit with an interconnection network. The transmission circuit requests transmission of a predetermined amount of data. The communication interface receives data segments from the transmission circuit, stores the data segments in a memory, and verifies whether the memory contains the predetermined amount of data. In the case where the memory contains the predetermined amount of data, the communication interface starts transmission of the data stored in the memory. Alternatively, in the case where the memory contains an amount of data less than the predetermined amount of data, the communication interface determines a parameter that identifies the time that has elapsed since the transmission request or the first datum was received from the aforesaid transmission circuit, and verifies whether the time elapsed exceeds a time threshold. In the case where the time elapsed exceeds the time threshold, the communication interface starts transmission of the data stored in the memory.

A method includes: writing first data in a first partition of a first memory module and second data in a first partition of a second memory module, and selectively operating the first and second memory modules in a first operating mode and a second operating mode. The first operating mode includes writing parity bits for the first data in a second partition of the second memory module and parity bits for the second data in a second partition of the first memory module. The second operating mode includes writing further data instead of parity bits in the second partition of one or both the first memory module and the second memory module.

A communication system is arranged to interface a plurality of transmission circuits with an interconnection network. Each transmission circuit generates read requests and/or write requests. The communication system includes a first circuit that operates independently of the communication protocol of the interconnection network. In particular, the first circuit includes, a) for each transmission circuit a communication interface configured for receiving the read requests and/or write requests from the respective transmission circuit, b) a segmentation circuit configured for dividing, i.e., segmenting, the read requests and/or write requests received from the transmission circuits into transfer segments, and c) an interleaving circuit configured for generating, via an operation of interleaving of the transfer segments, a series of segments. The communication system also includes a second circuit configured for converting the transfer segments of the series of segments into data packets according to the protocol of the interconnection network and for transmitting the data packets to the interconnection network.

A buffer for ordering out-of-order data includes a memory with a plurality of memory locations for temporarily storing data and a detection circuit configured for generating a control signal when the memory locations contain valid data. The detection circuit includes a first block configured for generating validity signals that identify the memory locations containing valid data and a search circuit configured for determining a search pointer as a function of the validity signals. In the case where each memory location contains valid data, the search pointer indicates the last memory location. In the case where at least one memory location is still free, the search pointer indicates the first memory location that is free.
