An apparatus comprising an integrated circuit having (i) a number of regions each pre-diffused and configured to be metal-programmed and (ii) a plurality of pins configured to connect the integrated circuit to a socket. A logic portion may be implemented on the integrated circuit (i) configured to implement integrated circuit operations and (ii) having one or more I/O connections and one or more supply connections. A first group of the pre-diffused regions are metal-programmed and coupled to said I/O connections. A second group of the pre-diffused regions are metal-programmed and coupled to the supply connections.
摘要:
A method for interconnecting sub-functions of metal-mask programmable functions that includes the steps of (A) forming a base layer of a platform application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) comprising a plurality of pre-diffused regions disposed around a periphery of the platform ASIC, (B) forming two or more sub-functions of a function with a metal mask set placed over a number of the plurality of pre-diffused regions of the platform application specific integrated circuit and (C) configuring one or more connection points in each of the two or more sub-functions such that interconnections between the two or more sub-functions are tool routable in a single layer. Each of the pre-diffused regions is configured to be metal-programmable.
摘要:
A single-edge triggered phase detector which provides high speed phase detection. The phase detector works on only a single edge of the clock and data signal, which can be either the rising or falling edge. Extracted control signals are latched for at least one half of a clock period or more to ensure full rail to rail swing.
摘要:
A data communication method and apparatus includes an integral bit error rate test system. The system is adapted to receive digital data signals to be transmitted over a communication link and includes a transmitter for transmitting the data signals onto the link. A test signal pattern generator generates a determinable pattern of digital bit test signals which are insertable into an input of the transmitter in place of the digital data signals. A receiver is coupled to the link for receiving the bit test signals and for comparing the received pattern of the bit test signals to the determinable pattern. The bit error rate is computed from the number of bit differences between the transmitted test signals and the determinable pattern.
摘要:
A charge pump circuit for a phase-locked loop circuit which provides substantially constant charge and discharge currents characterized by minimal overshoots and undershoots. The charge pump circuit includes a level shifter circuit which attenuates voltage swings in Up and Down signals from the phase detector and provides control signals. The charge pump circuit also includes a feedback circuit coupled to the level shifter which compares the output voltage of the charge pump to predetermined first and second reference voltages and increases and decreases the charge and discharge currents to minimize overshoot and undershoot noise as determined by the control signals.

New compositions of matter each consisting essentially of a solid solution of compounds and a halide binder aid. The novel compositions have melting points above 1800.degree. C, high mechanical integrity, low thermal conductivity, and are essentially non-reactive with molten reactive and refractory metals. The novel compositions sinter at 1000.degree. to 1300.degree. C.

Diamagnetic levitation and/or stabilizing devices, wherein diamagnetic members are levitated in relation to permanent magnets. Said magnets in repulsion levitation relative to each other are stabilized along one or more desired axes by means of diamagnetic members disposed about said axes, and in relation to fields of permanent magnets.
摘要:
A method for producing a chip is disclosed. A first step of the method may involve fabricating the chip only up to and including a first metal layer during a first manufacturing phase such that an input/output (I/O) region of the chip has a plurality of slots, where each of the slots has a plurality of first transistors. A second step of the method may involve designing a plurality of upper metal layers above the first metal layer in response to a custom design created after the first fabricating has started, the upper metal layers interconnecting a plurality of the first transistors to form a plurality of mixed-signal building block functions. A third step of the method may involve fabricating the chip to add the upper metal layers during a second manufacturing phase.

A method for producing a chip is disclosed. A first step of the method may include fabricating the chip only up to and including a first metal layer such that a core region of the chip has an array of cells, each of the cells having a plurality of transistors. A second step generally involves designing a plurality of upper metal layers above the first metal layer in response to a custom design created after the first fabricating has started, the upper metal layers interconnecting a plurality of the cells to form (i) a mixed-signal module and (ii) a digital module, the mixed signal module generating at least one analog signal and at least one digital signal. In a third step, the method may include fabricating the chip to add the upper metal layers.
