摘要: An automatic measuring system containing configurable integrated circuits is able to process information via captured images. The automatic measuring system includes a metering instrument, a camera, a recognition module, and a localization module. The metering instrument has at least one display for visually displaying a number and measures the amount of measurable substance or resources (i.e., electricity and water) consumed. The camera captures an image of the number representing at least a portion the amount of measurable substance. The recognition module is operable to generate a value in response to the image and the coordinates wherein the coordinates are used to decode the image via restoring captured image to the original readout counter value. The localization module is removably or remotely coupled to the camera and operable to generate the coordinates in accordance with the image captured by the camera.

摘要: A semiconductor device, able to be selectively configured to perform one or more user defined logic functions, includes a semiconductor die and a selectable power regulator. The semiconductor die, in one aspect, includes a first region and a second region. The first region is operatable to perform a first set of logic functions based on a first power domain having a first voltage. The second region is configured to perform a second set of logic functions based on a second power domain having a second voltage. The selectable power regulator, in one embodiment, provides the second voltage for facilitating the second power domain in the second region of the semiconductor die in response to at least one enabling input from the first region of the semiconductor die.

摘要: A field-programmable gate array (“FPGA”) contains a configurable semiconductor organized in multiple clock regions with a clock fabric for facilitating user-defined logic functions. The clock fabric provides a set of regional clock signals (“RCSs”) generated from a clock source with a high clock signal quality (“CSQ”) for clocking logic blocks in a clock region. Also, a set of neighboring clock signals (“NCSs”) or inter-regional clock signals are generated from a neighboring clock source(s) for clocking logic blocks in two neighboring regions. In addition, the clock fabric is operable to provide secondary clock signals (“SCSs”) generated from the RCSs with a low CSQ for clocking logic blocks with less time-sensitive logic operations.

摘要: A programmable integrated circuit (“PIC”) device includes configurable logic blocks (“LBs”), routing connections, and configuration memory for performing user defined programmed logic functions. Each configurable LB, in one example, includes a set of lookup tables (“LUTs”) and associated registers. The LUTs, for example, are configured to generate one or more output signals in accordance with a set of input signals. The registers are arranged so that each register corresponds to one LUT. In one embodiment, a group of registers, instead of assigning to a group of LUTs across multiple configurable LBs, is allocated or configured as embedded signature registers in PSD. For example, a first register which corresponds or physically situated in the vicinity of first LUT can be designated as an embedded signature register for storing a fixed value or signature information for facilitating device or IC identification.

摘要: A secrecy system and a decryption method of on-chip data stream of nonvolatile FPGA are provided in the present invention. The nonvolatile memory module of the system is configured to only allow the full erase operation. After the full erase operation is finished, the nonvolatile memory module gets into the initial state. Only the operation to the nonvolatile memory module under the initial state is effective, and thereby the encryption region unit is arranged in the nonvolatile memory module. Only the decryption data written into the encryption region unit under the initial state can make the nonvolatile memory module to be readable, so that the decryption of the system is finished, which greatly improves the secrecy precision.

摘要: A programmable semiconductor device contains a wireless communication block (“WCB”) capable of facilitating wirelessly field programmable gate array (“FPGA”) programming download as well as functional logic implementation. In one aspect, WCB detects an FPGA access request for initiating an FPGA reconfiguration from a remote system via a wireless communications network. Upon receiving a configuration bitstream for programming the FPGA via the wireless communications network, the configuration bitstream is forwarded from WCB to a configuration download block (“CDB”) for initiating a configuration process. CDB subsequently programs at least a portion of configurable logic blocks (“LBs”) in FPGA in response to the configuration bitstream.

摘要: A process or method for facilitating configuring a field programmable gate array (“FPGA”) using a group of configurable logic blocks (“CLBs”) to perform one or more logic functions is disclosed. The process, in one aspect, is able to designate a first region of FPGA to a dynamic power region (“DPR”) in accordance with a user selection for power conservation. After receiving, from a user, a first submodule with a designation of DPR, the first region of FPGA is assigned to the first logic operation. Upon setting a first primitive associated to the first region of FPGA for controlling power consumption of the DPR, a first enabling logic is created in a second region of FPGA for facilitating power management to the first submodule in the first region of FPGA via the first primitive.
