    摘要: A high-performance gate library is augmented with tapered gates. The widths of the stacked devices are varied to reduce the delay through some of the input pins. For example in a tapered NAND gate the bottom devices in the NFET stack are have longer widths than the top device to achieve smaller top input to output pin delay at the expense of larger bottom input to output pin delay. The method of using synthesis algorithms modifies the input net to gate pin connections and swaps traditional non-tapered gates with tapered gates to improve the delay of the timing critical paths. The latest arriving gate input net is swapped with the net connected to the top pin. The gate is then converted to a tapered gate provided the paths through the bottom gate input(s) that are not timing critical.

    摘要: A system for logic block timing analysis may include a controller, and storage in communication with the controller. The storage may provide delay-versus-conesize values of a logic block. The system may further include a fitting module to provide a delay-cone based upon the delay-versus-conesize values of the logic block. The system may also include a conesize parser that uses the delay-cone to provide delay values through the logic block. The conesize parser may be used to validate the design of the logic block by comparing the delay-cone with a desired cycle time.

    摘要: In a computer system comprising a plurality of subsystems, interconnected by a bus comprising bit drivers and bit receivers, data words are transmitted on the bus in the form of code words. The code words are formulated such that the number of bits of the bus which changes with the transmission of successive code words is minimized. A switching code, comprising one or more bits, defines a plurality of mapping codes and a data word to be transmitted is mapped by use of the mapping codes to a plurality of code words. One of the plurality of code words differing from a previously transmitted code word in the least number of bit positions is selected. The selected code words is transmitted, together with a switching code, identifying the mapping from which the transmitted code word was generated. At the receiving end of the bus, the switching code is decoded to identify the mapping used in creating the code word. Using the identified mapping, the original data word is recovered.

    摘要: An improved memory system and memory controller which permits simplified memory upgrades in the field. The system includes a memory board with multiple card sockets. As additional cards are added the data cables are distributed among the cards and the memory controller is programmed to coordinate the sequencing of the memory in the cards. Data is transferred between the cards and memory controller via distributively coupled cables. Control and address signals are provided to cards via wires embedded in the memory board from the memory controller. A repowering circuit on each card makes copies of the control and address signals which are sent to other cards through the embedded wires in the board. Data received by a card is stored in memory through steering logic and buffers.

    摘要: A clocking circuit decreases the load on the local clock signals to save power. The load is decreased by altering the structure of the latches. Typically, a passgate style latch is used where both an NFET and a PFET are used to control dataflow. Here, the PFET has been removed and the load is decreased. However, it is difficult to pass a logical 1 through an NFET and this increases both the rising slew and rising edge delay through the latch. The effect is mitigated, though, by overdriving the local clock block (LCB) local clocks to drive a local clock to the latches by passgates using only NFET transistors in the master latches and slave latches. Overdrivig the NFET gate allows the NFET to pass a full-level logical 1 signal.
