摘要： A system for interactive design, synthesis and simulation of an electronic system allowing a user to design a system either by specification of a behavioral model in a high level language such as VHDL or by graphical entry. The user can view full or partial simulation and design results simultaneously, on a single display window. The synthesis process uses a systematic technique to map and enforce consistency of the semantics imbedded in the intent of the original, high-level descriptions. The design activity is generally a series of transformations operating upon various levels of design representations. At each level, the design can be simulated and reviewed in schematic diagram form. The simulation results can be displayed immediately adjacent to signal lines on the diagram to which they correspond. In one embodiment, design rule violations are processed by an expert system to suggest possible corrections or alterations to the design which will eliminate the design rule violations. Schematic diagram and simulation displays showing those portions of the electronic system and simulated signal patterns which are related to the design rule violations are used to help the user identify and appropriately correct problems in the design.

摘要： Content Addressable Memory (CAM) core is integrated and interfaced with a configurable logic core (e.g., FPGA) on a single integrated circuit (IC) chip to permit a user to change algorithms for and to tailor word length to a particular application. Significant improvements in fetch times and overhead are achieved. An electronic component (e.g., integrated circuit) incorporating the technique is suitably included in a system or subsystem having electrical functionality, such as general purpose computers, telecommunications devices, and the like.

摘要： A wireless communication unit for a wireless communication system transmits and receives video, audio and data signals within an RF bandwidth. The RF bandwidth is allocated among the video, audio and data signals to allow the video, audio and data signals to fit within the RF bandwidth. The allocation is performed by buffering the signals, making priority assignments to each of the buffered signals, and transmitting the buffered signals according to the priority assignments. The transmitted signals occupy the RF bandwidth in portions specified by the priority assignments. The priority assignments can be changed during a communication link. The subscriber unit receives a transmission header from another party on the communication link, which may include a request by the other party to change the priority assignments. If such a request is received, the subscriber unit automatically changes the priority assignments in response to the request. The communication unit is applicable to subscriber units and base stations. One such subscriber can be a cellular telephone having full-motion video capability.

摘要： A wireless communication device may take the form of a cellular telephone, of a portable personal communication device, or even of a desk top personal computer which is equipped to communicate over the wireless cellular communication system in effect in a particular area. The wireless communication device is configured to self-adapt to various operating frequencies and communication protocols which may be present in the cellular communication environment so that the device is able to provide communications in several service areas even though the frequencies of operation and the communication protocols in use in the service areas may be incompatible with one another. The wireless communication device may also include facilities for transmitting and receiving video, graphics, and data files over an RF bandwidth. The various communication standards and protocols which may be used for these communications are recognized by the communication device, and it self-adapts to provide communications in the formats, standards, and operating frequencies which are available in particular cellular communication environments.

摘要： A trench etching process is disclosed in which a substrate is etched under conditions that promote forward sputtering of mask material in a plasma reactor having at least three electrodes. The forward sputtering impedes etching of trench sidewalls by depositing a protective layer of mask material on the sidewalls of a trench being formed. By controlling the amount of forward sputtering, one can control the trench profile and aspect ratio (depth to width). By employing forward sputter etching in a three or more electrode reactor, trenches of less than one micron in width and having aspect ratios of at least 2.5:1 are formed. Such trenches are used in trench capacitors of high density DRAMs. A disclosed plasma reactor includes a grounded first electrode which forms part of the reactor's enclosure, a coiled second electrode disposed above and separated from the reactor enclosure by a dielectric shield, and a planar third electrode located below the substrate to be etched. A plasma is generated by providing radio frequency energy from the second electrode to the enclosure interior. The charged species from that plasma are directed to the substrate by applying a bias between the first and third electrodes.
