    摘要: A DC—DC voltage converter has a controller, two switches, a transformer and two rectifying diodes. The transformer has a first winding, a second winding and a center tap. Input voltage is connected between the center tap and ground. An anode of each diode is connected to the outer ends of the two windings and the cathodes of the two diodes are connected together to provide a positive output with respect to ground. Each switch is connected between an outer end of one winding and ground. The controller generates control signals to turn the switches on and off for limited periods of time in phase opposition to alternately connect the outer ends of the first and second winding to ground to cause current to flow alternatively in one of the windings and induce a voltage in the other winding that is additive to the input voltage, thereby providing an output voltage greater than the input voltage. The converter provides stable operation with good voltage regulation over a wide range of load conditions without the use of feedback.

    摘要: The invention provides a method of implementing firmware updates to programmable parts within circuit boards on a manufacturing line. An image file of firmware for each of the parts is created and stored on a firmware server. The programmable parts are preferably integrated with the printed circuit boards; each of the boards networks to the firmware server by connection with an interface server, such that the image files download to the circuit board for programming the board's internal programmable parts. Networking between the parts and the firmware server can include communications across the Internet and/or one or more area networks. Multiple interface servers may be integral with the products incorporating the programmable parts so that many products may be updated concurrently.

    摘要: A method of updating programmable device configuration code stored in EEPROMs of a system is operable on complex systems having separate management and system processors. The method includes executing a sequence for updating programmable device configuration code on a management processor of the system including erasing the EEPROMs, writing at least one block of configuration code to the EEPROMs, and checking for errors after writing. The errors checked for include failure of a FIFO to empty. Upon detecting errors, the method includes automatically retrying writes. Embodiments of the method are operable on systems having multiple serial busses interconnecting EEPROMs to a common configuration logic, and on systems having multiple management processors each capable of accessing the common configuration logic.

    摘要: A machine-readable identification register is provided on each cell of a cellular computer system. The identification register is read during system startup to identify a processor type, which may include an instruction set architecture (ISA), associated with the cell. The processor type information is used to ensure that a compatible boot image is provided to processors of the cell. In another embodiment, the system management subsystem has a version selection flag. When the version selection flag is in a first state, the compatible boot image provided to processors of the cell is a current boot image; with the selection flag in a second state the compatible boot image provided to processors of the cell is an older edition of the boot image.

    摘要: Logic apparatus filters noise signals on a signal line to a digital circuit. An edge detector determines one or more edges of the noise signals relative to a fast clock. Signals indicative of the edges asynchronously reset a timer; the timer clocks the latch of the signal line when the signal line is stable, and without noise signals detected by the edge detector, for a period defined by a slow clock. The slow clock is slower than the fast clock by several orders of magnitude. The edge detector may be constructed by one flip-flop and an XOR gate. A second flip flop couples to the signal line and the output of the timer to pass through the latched value of the signal line to the digital circuit when clocked by the timer.
