    摘要: The present method reduces variations in noise and temperature in a mixed-signal circuit including memory. Memory electrically proximate an analog circuit is provided and a digital data word received at the memory. When the data word is not a desired data word, a dummy write to the memory is performed. When the data word is a desired data word, the data word is written to the memory. The mixed-signal circuit includes an analog circuit, memory electrically proximate to the analog circuit and connected to receive digital data words, and a memory controller connected to the memory. The memory controller is operable to cause the memory to write to the memory each of the data words that is a desired data word and additionally to perform a dummy write to memory for each of the data words that is not a desired data word.

    摘要: The analog-to-digital conversion system comprises an analog-to-digital converter that includes a digital output, memory having a data input and a data output, an output port, an input data bus that extends from the digital output of the analog-to-digital converter to the data input of the memory and an output data bus that extends from the data output of the memory to the output port. The analog-to-digital converter is structured to generate digital samples at a sampling rate. The input data bus is structured to operate at the sampling rate of the ADC. At least one of the data output of the memory, the output data bus and the output port is structured to operate at a maximum rate less than the sampling rate.

    摘要: The method defines an input state vector that achieves low power consumption when applied to the circuit inputs of a digital circuit in an idle state. The digital circuit includes one or more circuit elements of respective circuit element types. In the method, idle power values including idle power values for each circuit element type. The idle power values for each circuit element type correspond to different states of the inputs of a circuit element of the circuit element type. Additionally the idle power values are used to determine, for each circuit element, states of the inputs of the circuit element that would set the circuit element to a lowest-allowable idle power state when the digital circuit is in the idle state. The states determined for those of the inputs that constitute the circuit inputs define the input state vector. The states are also determined accounting for the logic constraints of the digital circuit.

    摘要: The method defines an input state vector that achieves low power consumption when applied to the circuit inputs of a digital circuit in an idle state. In the method, independent determinations are performed. Each determination defines a respective set of the input states of the input state vector. Any conflict the definitions of any one or more of the input states is resolved in favor of the definition of the one or more of the input states that achieves the lowest idle power consumption when the input state vector incorporating the one or more of the input states in accordance with the definition is applied to the circuit inputs of the digital circuit in the idle state.

The organic template layer is on the surface of the solid support, and has a surface comprising a pair of spaced, electrically-charged regions arranged in tandem in an electrically-neutral background. The nanostructure is elongate, is electrically-conducting, and extends between the charged regions. The electrodes are located the surface of the template layer and are at least co-extensive with the charged regions.
