A light emitting diode, a reflector and a platform are employed within a light source. The light emitting diode emits light exclusively from its side surfaces. The reflector has a parabolic reflective surface that collimates any portion of the light reflecting from the parabolic reflective surface. The platform supports a centering of the light emitting layer(s) of the light emitting diode on a focus point of the parabolic reflective surface.

A method of interconnecting bond pads on a semiconductor die to leads of a package is disclosed. The method includes placing a connector over each bond pad and its corresponding lead. The connector is one of a plurality of ganged connectors. The method also includes electrically connecting the connector to the bond pad and the lead and singularizing the connector from the plurality of ganged connectors. Such a method of interconnection has the advantage of simultaneously interconnecting multiple bond pads to leads. In a preferred embodiment, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are manufactured using the method. A PCB is etched to produced lead pairs of the LEDs. A semiconductor die is attached to a first lead of each lead pair. Ganged interconnects are aligned with and tagged onto the dies and the second leads of the lead pairs, thereby electrically connecting them. After tagging, the interconnects are singularized. An encapsulant is applied on each die and interconnect. Each die, interconnect and lead pair are then separated to form individual LEDs.

An I/O bus sequencer for providing a data path between an execution Unit (EU-10), a register file (14) and devices connected to a bus (28). A programmable logic array (PLA-18) stores a program which controls a service table (20). The service table includes a plurality of entries divided into fields. One of the fields when decoded instructs the PLA as to what kind of operation the bus sequencer is to perform. Line selection (priority) logic (22) connected to I/O request lines (30) and to the service table (20) determines which service table entry the PLA is to use. A bus interface connected to the I/O bus ports (26) and to the PLA (18) routes data between the I/O bus ports (26) and the register file (14), entries of which are controlled by use of register sets. The service table fields include register set descriptors for storing the status of register set buffers. The PLA decodes an ACCESS instruction to start an operation by loading the first register set descriptor, and then decodes sequential SUPPLY instructions to the entry. Each SUPPLY instruction loads an empty register set descriptor field to be used when the current register set descriptor field is exhausted.
摘要:
A method and system for enhancing software documentation and help systems. In one embodiment, a virtual library for a selected combination of tools is created. The virtual library is then linked to the tools in the selected combination of tools. In another embodiment, a combination of tools for designing a complex software system is selected from one or more software releases. The one or more software releases comprises a plurality of available tools. The selected combination of tools comprises less than all of the plurality of available tools. Each of the plurality of available tools is associated with one or more documents. Access to only those one or more documents associated with tools in the selected combination of tools is provided.

In one embodiment an electronic device, such as an optical sensor, is attached to a substrate upon which wire logouts and, if desired, other components are constructed. A frame, or cover, is attached to the substrate surrounding the attached device. An aperture in the cover allows wireless signals to pass in or out of the cover.
摘要:
A bidirectional multidrop processor bus is connected to a plurality of bus agents. Bus throughput can be increased by operating the bus in a multi pumped signaling mode in which multiple information elements are driven onto a bus by a driving agent at a rate that is a multiple of the frequency of the bus clock. The driving agent also activates a strobe to identify sampling points for the information elements. Information elements for a request can be driven, for example, using a double pumped signaling mode in which two information elements are driven during one bus clock cycle. Data elements for a data line transfer can be driven, for example, using a quad pumped signaling mode in which four data elements are driven during one bus clock cycle. Multiple strobe signals can be temporarily activated in an offset or staggered arrangement to reduce the frequency of the strobe signals. Sampling symmetry can be improved by using only one type of edge (e.g., either the rising edges or the falling edges) of the strobe signals to identify the sampling points.
摘要:
A bus agent that may be used in an enhanced highly pipelined bus architecture. In one embodiment, the bus agent includes a target ready interface, a set of response interfaces for a set of response signals, and a data bus busy interface, and a bus clock interface for a bus clock signal. The bus agent of this embodiment also includes bus controller logic to track a plurality of transactions comprising a transaction N-1 and a transaction N, the bus controller being capable of asserting the target ready signal for transaction N if the bus agent is asserting the data busy signal for the transaction N-1 and deasserts the data busy signal.
摘要:
A processor has an external pin that can be asserted to lock in new clock ratio information dynamically. A state machine of the processor defines a stop grant state that is utilized to halt the internal clocking signal of the processor. A storage location, such as a register, is utilized to load new clock frequency information into the clock generator circuit of the processor. De-asserting the external pin of the processor causes the processor to resume normal operations, but at the newly set clock frequency.
摘要:
A method and apparatus of performing bus transactions on the external bus of the computer system. The present invention includes a method and apparatus for permitting out-of-order replies in a pipelined bus system. The out-of-order responses include the sending of tokens between both the requesting agents and the responding agents in the computer system without the use of dedicated token buses.
