    摘要: A clock driver is disclosed that minimizes propagation delay, and thus improves the integrity of a clock distribution network. The clock driver preferably is implemented with silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology, and comprises an inverter with an nFET and pFET that are body-connected. The body connection serves to reduce the body voltage of the pFET, while increasing the body voltage of the nFET. This shifting of the voltage reduces the voltage threshold differential for both the nFET and pFET, which translates into a design that experiences less propagation delay due to voltage variations and fluctuations. If desired, the body voltages may be slightly offset from each other by placing one or more voltage drop transistors in the conductive path between the bodies of the nFET and pFET. In addition, the present invention may be used to design a programmable inverter that can operate in a low power mode, or in a high precision mode.

    摘要: A network processor includes a schedule, sync and order (SSO) module for scheduling and assigning work to multiple processors. The SSO includes an on-deck unit (ODU) that provides a table having several entries, each entry storing a respective work queue entry, and a number of lists. Each of the lists may be associated with a respective processor configured to execute the work, and includes pointers to entries in the table. A pointer is added to the list based on an indication of whether the associated processor accepts the WQE corresponding to the pointer.
