A memory system including a memory array with redundant wordlines is disclosed. The memory system includes a memory wordline tester that determines if any of the wordlines exhibits a defect. The memory system also includes decoder redundancy logic that efficiently couples to wordline shift logic using a reduced number of control signal lines therebetween. The shift logic shifts defective wordlines to upstream wordlines in the array to bypass the defective wordlines.

When a regular reflection light receiving unit is receiving a reflected light in a non-image area where the test patches are not formed, a clamp switch is closed. Then, a first reference voltage generated by a pull-up resistor and a zener diode is corresponded to an electric potential of a terminal of a capacitor on the side of an A/D converter. The capacitor is charged by the difference in electric potential between the first reference voltage and an output voltage from the regular reflection light receiving unit. Next, the clamp switch is opened. After the regular reflection light receiving unit receives the reflected light from an image area where the test patches are formed with this state of things, the output voltage from the regular reflection light receiving unit is changed. The difference in density between the image area and the non-image area can be quantified by the A/D converter.

An apparatus, a method, and a computer program are provided to efficiently use a microprocessor array. Typically, microprocessor arrays can be divided into multiple subarrays. Also, in the conventional arrays, each of the subarrays were engaged when the microprocessor array is used. To alleviate the power consumed by the microprocessor arrays, row selection logic is employed to engage only specific rows of subarrays. Therefore, power consumed by unused subarrys is saved.

A scannable latch is disclosed. The scannable latch includes a dynamic circuit, two cross-coupled NAND gates coupled to the dynamic circuit, and a pair of stacked transistors coupled to the dynamic circuit. One of the stacked transistors is for receiving data signals, and the other stacked transistors is for receiving scan in signals.

A first elapsed time from transmission of a data segment until receipt of an acknowledgement is measured. A probability distribution of the first elapsed time is generated for a client device 50 on the basis of the measured first elapsed time. A second elapsed time from retransmission of a data segment until receipt of an acknowledgement is measured. A probability distribution of the second elapsed time is generated for a client device 50 on the basis of the measured first elapsed time. An estimation is made as to whether an acknowledgment pertains to which data segment on the basis of the generated probability distribution.

An apparatus, a method and a computer program product are provided for conserving energy during functional mode of a processor by disabling the scan chain. By inserting logic gating into the scan chain it is possible to disable the scan chain during the processor's functional mode. During functional mode the scan out port of the latch bit in a scan chain toggles, which leads to unnecessary energy consumption. By gating scan control signals and the scan out port of a latch bit, the scan chain segment between latch bits can be disconnected. Therefore, the scan control signals can disable the scan chain during functional mode.

Systems and methods for forwarding instruction results from various pipeline stages to the initial stages of the pipelines, where the results can be used in the execution of subsequent instructions. In one embodiment, a forwarding mechanism is designed so that sets of one or more dynamic data selection circuits are placed in an alternating linear series with corresponding data registers. Each data register may be coupled to several dynamic data selection circuits, each of which corresponds to a different port or destination register. The dynamic data selection circuits coupled to a single data register are successively positioned in a direction that is perpendicular to the direction of the alternating linear array. Each dynamic data selection circuit may consist of a 2-input NOR gate coupled to drive a discharge transistor. The dynamic data selection circuits themselves may be aligned with the alternating series of latches and data selection circuits.

Systems and methods for reducing the power consumption of some combinations of logic gates by reducing the number of unnecessary transitions that are made by logic gates that do not affect the output of the logic. In one embodiment, a modified exclusive-OR (XOR) gate is coupled to a modified multiplexer. The XOR gate has two inputs, Ain, and Bin, and an output, XORout, which is provided as an input to the multiplexer. Another input to the multiplexer is Cin. A select signal is input to the multiplexer to select either Cin or XORout to be provided at the output of the multiplexer. If XORout is selected, the XOR gate operates in a first mode in which it functions as a normal XOR gate. If Cin is selected, the XOR gate operates in a second mode in which the XOR gate uses less power than when the XOR gate operates normally.
