摘要： An asynchronous data transfer interface is provided across a boundary that allows high bandwidth data transfers which are packet based as defined by PCI_Express architecture, and has general utility in processor-based applications like servers, desktop applications, and mobile applications. A shared set of multi-port RAM buffers allow both an application layer AL and a transaction layer TL access to a communication protocol layer in a defined process that allows both the application layer AL and the transaction layer TL to read and manage the buffers in a 16 byte boundary in a manner that allows a data credit to be decoupled from a header credit.

摘要： A semiconductor die including a semiconductor chip and a test structure, located in a scribe area, is designed and manufactured. The test structure includes an array of complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensors that are of the same type as CMOS image sensors employed in another array in the semiconductor chip and having a larger array size. Such a test structure is provided in a design phase by providing a design structure in which the orientations of the CMOS image sensors match between the two arrays. The test structure provides effective and accurate monitoring of manufacturing processes through in-line testing before a final test on the semiconductor chip.

摘要： A sensor and method for widening a dynamic range of sensor circuitry for sensing energy, such as light energy. The sensor circuitry includes a sensor and recharge circuitry for sharing additional charge with the sensor as needed during an integration period. Readout circuitry is provided to read out, after the integration period, the sense voltage remaining across the sensor and recharge information indicating whether the recharge circuitry shared charge with the sensor during the integration period. The sense voltage and recharge information read out of the sensor circuitry is used in a function to determine the total amount of energy sensed by the sensor during the integration period.

摘要： An inexpensive and low power consumption power control unit that does not require a separate interface or network. In the power off state only a detector and a power controller require power, this power is supplied from a power source. Upon detection of traffic a frame decoder is powered up to receive frames. When the link is quiet, the decoder is powered down while the power controller and receiver remain powered and await further traffic.
