    摘要: A method and apparatus is provided for clamping of an electrostatic discharge using multiple time-constants. A rise in a voltage level is detected. A first time-constant is provided to determine whether the rise in the voltage level is caused by an electrostatic event. A clamping function is provided to clamp the voltage level in response to a determination that the rise in the voltage level is caused by the electrostatic event. A second time-constant is provided to provide a time period for maintaining the clamping function for a period of time to substantially extinguish the electrostatic event.

    摘要: A register array accessible by both a system microprocessor and a digital signal processor of a PC audio circuit, comprising: (i) a random access memory (RAM) having a first port connected to a digital signal processor input/output port, and a second port connected to a RAM input/output port; (ii) a register data port connected to the RAM input/output port and having a connection to a register data bus; (iii) timing circuitry for timing the register array operations; (iv) row and column select circuitry for respectively selecting rows and columns in said RAM; and (v) an input/output channel ready signal line connected to said timing circuitry. The RAM includes a plurality of edge bits each of which stores a value indicating whether processing of a row of data values stored in said RAM is active or inactive. The system microprocessor is disabled from accessing the RAM whenever the RAM is not idle or the microprocessor seeks to access a row of the RAM currently subject to access by the digital signal processor. If the microprocessor is disabled from writing data to the RAM, the data may be temporarily stored in the register data port until the microprocessor's access is enabled.

    摘要: A differential receiver incorporated into a MAU which receives both Manchester packets and linkpulses according to the IEEE 802.3 10Base-T standard has polarity detection and correction circuit for automatically detecting a reversed polarity for RD input lines. The differential receiver samples incoming pulses for time, amplitude and pulse width qualification and makes a preliminary polarity determination based upon polarity of such qualified pulses. This preliminary polarity allows a linktest state machine to transition to a link.sub.-- pass state, enabling output drivers of the MAU. Additionally, the linkpulse polarity information initially makes a polarity determination for the entire differential receiver which asserts a FIX POLARITY signal. The FIX POLARITY signal controls a correction circuit which internally remedies reversed input lines. Preferably, the correction circuit internally reroutes the signals. An ETD polarity circuit makes polarity determinations from any ETD information received, as effected by the correction circuit. The ETD polarity circuit independently controls the linkpulse polarity determinations and conflicting determinations are resolved in favor of the ETD polarity circuit. Upon detecting two consecutive, consistent valid ETDs, the ETD polarity circuit locks-in the polarity determinations until a reset or a linkfail condition. The correction circuit effects both Manchester packets and linkpulses, so an incorrectly locked polarity will produce inverted linkpulses which will not allow the MAU to remain in the link.sub.-- pass state. In the linkfail state, the MAU may reestablish the correct polarity.

    摘要: An integrated media attachment unit (MAU) operative for interfacing Digital Terminal Equipment (DTE) on a Local Area Network (LAN) using twisted pair media. The twisted pair function as either a DTE MAU or a repeater MAU. A line driver for the twisted pair differential signal provides a ramped response with low jitter while an improved Attachment Unit Interface (AUI) driver uses CMOS technology and provides simplified End-of-Transmission Delimiter (ETD) control. The twisted pair MAU includes a combined override and status indication of link status and an additional feature to allow automatic polarity reversal of differential signal input lines and polarity status signalling.
