摘要:
A method for reducing a magnitude of a rate of current change of an integrated circuit is provided. The method uses a plurality of transistors controlled by a finite state machine, such as a counter, to gradually reduce current sourced from a power supply. Further, the finite state machine is controlled by a micro-architectural stage that determines when the integrated circuit needs to be powered down.

A method for reducing power supply noise in the power supply system of a delay locked loop has been developed. The method includes powering up a delay locked loop and inserting a shunting resistance across the power supply terminals. The shunting resistance is inserted in parallel with the delay locked loop.

An apparatus for regulating resonance in a micro-chip has been developed. The method includes connecting a de-coupled capacitance across the supply and ground voltages, and connecting a band-pass shunt regulator that is in parallel to the capacitor across the supply and ground voltages. The regulator will short circuit the supply and ground voltages at a pre-determined frequency to reduce the resonance effect on the micro-chip.

A method for regulating resonance in a micro-chip has been developed. The circuit includes an on-chip de-coupled capacitor that is shunted across the supply and ground voltages, and a band-pass shunt regulator that is in parallel to the capacitor across the supply and ground voltages. The regulator will short circuit the supply and ground voltages at a pre-determined frequency to reduce the resonance effect on the micro-chip.

摘要:
An integrated circuit has a plurality of sections, each having a phase detector and a control delay circuit. The phase detector, in response to a phase difference between a reference clock signal and a feedback signal from a portion of a clock grid, controls the delay of its associated clock delay circuit, which, in turn, outputs to the portion of the clock grid. The feedback signal to the phase detector may be connected to an output of a DLL or another portion of the clock grid controlled by a clock delay circuit not associated with the phase detector. Such an arrangement on the integrated circuit leads to clock grid skew reduction.

A Mobile Subscriber Directory Assistance (MSDA) system including originating carrier center initiating a directory assistance call, a directory assistance center providing a directory assistance service, and a search environment. The search environment includes an aggregated pointer database and at least one directory number resolution database. A caller requesting a telephone number is connected to a directory assistance service center where search criteria for the requested number are taken. The requested number is identified by searching the aggregated pointer database and the directory number resolution database. The caller is connected to the identified telephone number without releasing this identified telephone number.

A method and apparatus for enlarging data eyes in a wireline communication system involves pre-coding a data signal before transmission to generate a constant frequency characteristic independent of a state of the pre-coded data signal. The receiving circuit includes a circuit that temporally expands at least a portion of the pre-coded data signal. The portion of the temporally expanded data signal is latched by the receiving circuit.
