Abstract:
Methods, systems and apparatuses for operating a converter or other circuits are disclosed. More particularly, in one embodiment a converter or other circuit can be operated in two modes which may include the count-to-time and time-to count modes to determine an output value corresponding to an input signal. During operation in the count-to-time mode a converter may be operated using a reference signal to determine a number of clock cycles needed until an output corresponds to a scaling factor is reached. During operation of the circuit in the time-to-count mode then, the converter may be operated for this number of clock cycles using the input signal to determine an output. This output may be proportional to the level on the input signal.
Abstract:
A serial scan path communication architecture includes a plurality of circuits (30), some of which may include a memory (36). A memory access controller (38) is included in circuits with a memory (36) such that serial data may be written to and written from the memories without having to repetitively cycle through multiple TAP read or write operations operations.

Abstract:
A zero-power bit circuit comprised in part of a pair of single-level poly transistors having opposite impurity-type channels, the pair connected to accomplish the programming function of a floating-gate transistor. The circuit includes sensing transistors for sensing the presence of absence of charge on the commonly connected gates of a transistor quadruplet comprised of the programming pair and sensing transistors. A diode-connected transistor, an isolation transistor and an inverter-buffer are also included in the bit circuit.
