    摘要: A novel method for designing an integrated circuit (“IC”) by resealing an original set of circuits in a design of the IC is disclosed. The original set of circuits to be resealed includes sequential nodes, combinational nodes, and interconnects. Each sequential node is associated with a phase of a clock. The method generates a resealed set of circuits that includes multiple replica sets of the circuits. Each replica set of circuits includes sequential nodes, combinational nodes, and interconnects that are identical to nodes and interconnects in the original set of circuits. Each sequential node is associated with a phase of a clock that is at a fraction of the phase of its corresponding sequential element in the original set. The method connects nodes in each replica set of circuits to a logically equivalent node in another replica set. The method replaces the original set of circuits with the resealed set of circuits.

    摘要: A low power sub-cycle reconfigurable conduit is provided. The low power reconfigurable conduit is a clocked storage element that consumes less power when performing low-throughput operations that do not require sub-cycle rate. The low power conduit includes a first configurable routing multiplexer that is reconfigurable to select one of several inputs at a first clock rate. The low power conduit also includes an array of storage elements for storing output data from the configurable routing multiplexer at the first clock rate. Each storage element in the array of storage elements operate at a second clock rate that is slower than the first clock rate. Each storage element receives a different phase of a clock that operates at the second clock rate. The low power conduit also includes a second configurable routing multiplexer that is reconfigurable to select from the array of storage elements at the first clock rate.

    摘要: Queuing and ordering data is described. Data is stored or queued in concatenated memories where each of the memories has a respective set of data out ports. An aligner having multiplexers arranged in a lane sequence are coupled to each set of the data out ports. A virtual-to-physical address translator is configured to translate a virtual address to provide physical addresses and select signals, where the physical addresses are locations of at least a portion of data words of a cell stored in the concatenated memories in successive order. The multiplexers are coupled to receive the select signals as control select signaling to align the at least one data word obtained from each of the concatenated memories for lane aligned output from the aligner.

    摘要: Described are circuits and methods for aligning data and clock signals. Circuits in accordance with some embodiments separate incoming data into three differently timed data signals: an early signal, an intermediate signal, and a late signal. The timing of the three data signals can be collectively moved with respect to the clock signal. In addition, the temporal spacing between the three signals can be adjusted so that the early and late signals define a window encompassing the intermediate signal. The three signals are aligned with respect to the clock edge to center the intermediate data signal on the clock edge. The early and late signals can be monitored to identify changes in the relative timing of the clock and data signals. Some embodiments automatically alter the timing of the data and/or clock signals to keep the intermediate data signal centered on the clock edge.

    摘要: A comparator circuit for detecting full and empty conditions in a first-in first-out (FIFO) memory system. The comparator circuit includes two-input logic circuits for comparing selected read and write addresses. An almost-empty condition is detected by comparing a next-to-be-used read address value with a currently-used write address value. When these address values are equal, high logic signals are passed by a set of mode control multiplexers to the select terminals of a series of carry chain multiplexers, thereby causing a high logic value to be transmitted to a data input terminal of a first register. The first register latches the high logic signal at the next rising edge of the read clock signal, thereby generating a high EMPTY control signal immediately after a final data value is read from the memory. The high EMPTY control signal causes the mode control multiplexers to pass logic signals generated by comparing a current read address value and a current write address value, which are equal when the memory is in the empty condition. The full condition is determined in a similar fashion, using a second carry chain to transmit logic signals related to both an almost-full and the full condition.

    摘要: A structure and method for operating an asynchronous first in, first out (FIFO) memory system in which the full or empty condition of the memory is determined by comparing a currently-generated write address with a currently-generated read address and a next-to-be-used read address. The current write address and current read address are transmitted from a write address counter and a read address counter, respectively, to a flag control circuit. The flag control circuit includes registers for storing Gray-code versions of the current write address, the current read address, and the next-to-be-used read address, which is determined from the current read address. The flag control circuit generates intermediate ALMOST_EMPTY and ALMOST_FULL signals when the FIFO memory is one data value from being “empty” and “full”, respectively. These intermediate signals are used to generate FULL and EMPTY control signals immediately after the FIFO memory enters a “full” or “empty” condition. A status circuit re-synchronizes a binary read address to the write clock signal, then subtracts the write-synchronized read address from the binary write address to accurately determine the amount of data in the FIFO memory.
