    摘要: An output driver device (10) includes a first output transistor (12) and a second output transistor (14) coupled to a bias transistor (16). The bias transistor (16) is coupled to a ground potential. The first output transistor (12) is coupled to a first output pad (18) and the second output transistor (14) is coupled to a second output pad (20). The output driver device (10) has a direct non-metal path to ground potential from either the first output pad (18) or the second output pad (20). In this manner, an electrostatic discharge device on either the first output pad (18) or the second output pad (20) can be absorbed through the first output transistor (12) or the second output transistor (14), respectively, and through the bias transistor (16) without damaging the output driver device (10).

    摘要: The present invention provides for improved loopback testing of an electronic communications device. The electronic communications device (50) includes a transmit serializer (16), a transmit output buffer (13), a first phase interpolator (52), a phase locked loop (42), a second phase interpolator (44), a receive deserializer (18), a receive input buffer (15), and phase adjust logic (46). The PLL (42) generates a timing signal in accordance with a reference clock signal (43). In one mode of operation, the transmit serializer (16) transmits data for output through the transmit output buffer (13) in accordance with the timing signal generated by the PLL (42). In another mode of operation, the phase interpolator (52) accepts as input the timing signal generated by the PLL (42). The phase interpolator (52) then generates an altered timing signal which the transmit serializer (16) uses to transmits data for output through the transmit output buffer (13) asynchronously from the timing signal of the receive deserializer (18).

    摘要: A priority encoder circuit (10, 60) is provided. The priority encoder circuit (10, 60) includes a plurality of inputs (38, 90) and outputs (40, 92). The number of inputs (38, 90) equals the number of outputs (40, 92), and each input (38, 90) corresponds to one output. Each input (38, 90) receives a signal that indicates whether the input (38, 90) has been selected. The priority encoder circuit (10, 60) also includes circuitry (50, 100) that generates a signal at the output (40, 92) corresponding to the input (38, 90) having the highest priority that receives the selection signal.

    摘要: A packet switch (26) has N digital input ports (28) each of bandwidth B for receiving data cells including destination addresses for determining output ports, a shared input cache (32), N memory modules (36) of bandwidth N.times.B for buffering, a switch fabric (38), and N digital output ports (40). A digital multiplexer (30) receives each data cell from the input ports (28) and writes it to the shared input cache (32) together with a corresponding port queue number, queue position, and memory module number in response to its destination address so that (1) cells having the same queue number are cyclically assigned to different memory modules (36) and (2) cells having the same queue position are cyclically assigned to different memory modules (36). A digital demultiplexer (34) reads each data cell from the shared input cache (32) and writes it to one of the N memory modules (36) according to its assigned memory module number and queue position. Then the switch fabric (38) reads the data cells in each memory module (36) by queue position and writes each to a corresponding output port (40) matching the cell's queue number.

    摘要: An ocular projection display (12) projects an image directly to the eye (26) of the user (10). The focus of the image may be varied to allow for different user profiles or to relieve the stress of maintaining a fixed focus over a prolonged period of time. Optionally, the ocular projection display (12) can include a location and distance sensor (46) for identifying the location of the user's eyes for proper aiming of the image to the eyes of the user and focus detection circuitry (54) to correct for the user's focusing abilities.
