A method and apparatus for a strobe glitch protection mechanism for a source synchronous I/O link. One method of the present invention comprises separating a transfer clock having a plurality of transfer clock edges into a pointer path and a timing path. Glitches are filtered from signals on said pointer path. The pointer path and the timing path are coupled to generate latch enable signals to latch data bits.

The present invention features flat-panel displays having a mosaic of tiles, and methods of constructing and sealing them. Sealing designs are described to maintain appropriate vacuum levels for FEDs, PFPDs and LCDs. The mosaic of tiles forming a flat-panel display may include subassembly tiles, with each consisting of two, unsealed, substantially parallel plates having a structure positioned between them; these are known as s-tiles. The tiles may be enclosed by a cover plate and backplate. Non-permeable material may be deposited on the cover plate and the backplate, with solderable metal overlaid on the non-permeable material. A metallized, non-permeable spacer/connector is also located between the cover plate and backplate for hermetically sealing the perimeter of the display. A set of electrical-interconnection, metal feed-throughs can also be positioned in the non-permeable spacer/connector. A flat-panel display may also be made up of half-tiles (h-tiles), with each including an individual bottom plate with a structure disposed on them. The mosaic of tiles also has a cover plate that is shared in common with all of the h-tiles. This common cover plate for each type of FPD integrates functions such as masking, screening, color filtering, polarizing and interconnecting. Also provided in the invention is a method for testing the seal of the flat-panel display. A simulated cover plate is attached via a polymeric seal, so that a structure enclosed between the two plates may be evacuated. When a gas is applied around the display seal, its leakage rate is measured, so as to locate the site of defects.

An electronic communications receiver includes a derived clock signal circuit operable to receive a data signal and to derive a derived clock signal from the received data signal. A separate forwarded clock signal circuit is further operable to receive a forwarded clock signal, and a clock management circuit is operable to receive signals from the derived clock signal circuit and the forwarded clock signal circuit, and to output an output clock signal.

Redundant acknowledgment between agents performing a loopback test over bidirectional communications bus is described. In one example, in a processor including a communications agent coupled to a bidirectional communications bus, the communications agent initiates loopback communications to a second agent, sends a packet including a redundant acknowledgment sequence to the second agent, receives the packet including the redundant acknowledgement sequence looped back from the second agent, determines whether the received redundant acknowledgment sequence is valid, sends a test sequence to the second agent, receives the test sequence looped back, and if the received redundant acknowledgment sequence is determined to be valid, then checks the received test sequence.

Methods, apparatuses and systems for physical link error data capture and analysis. A receiver is coupled to receive a data stream via a point-to-point serial link. A control circuit is coupled with the receiver to cause the receiver to selectively sample the data stream according to an offset parameter and an interval parameter. Comparison circuitry compares the data stream sample to expected data values to determine a bit error rate.
