    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 system and method are described for separating the bulk connections for FETs on a semiconductor wafer from the supply rails, testing the wafer to determine if a shift in the threshold voltage, VT, of certain devices within the wafer, as defined by the bulk-wells, can remove an AC defect in the IC circuit, and tailoring the voltage or voltages applied to the bulk nodes, post-manufacture, such that the integrated circuit meets its performance targets or is sorted to a more valuable performance level. The method requires generating a gate level netlist of the IC's circuitry and performing timing calculations on these circuit netlists using static timing analyses, functional delay simulations, circuit activity analyses, and functional performance testing. The failures are then correlated to respective IC circuits, worst case slack circuits are investigated, and proposed changes to the threshold voltages are employed in the hardware.

The HDC has several data processing macros including a processor core macro, a ROM emulation macro, a memory macro, and a bus macro. The macros may be configured by a configuration pin block which is connected to external configuration pins on the HDC. Customer logic is built using a field programmable gate array, which is interconnected with external ports of the HDC. The HDC and customer logic are verified using a debug port on the HDC, which is connected to a debug workstation. The invention allows a user to easily and quickly debug an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) design with a unique version of selected processor cores.

The embodiments incorporate the use of a passive circuit, such as an inductor-capacitor-resistor (LCR) circuit resonator, that has a predetermined sensitivity to process variations in one or more physical or electrical integrated circuit parameters. The passive circuit can be wirelessly interrogated between and/or process steps. Then, the actual behavior exhibited by the passive circuit in response to the interrogation is compared to the expected behavior of an optimal circuit in the absence of process variations in order to determine the one or more parameters. Also disclosed is an embodiment of an exemplary passive circuit that can be used to implement the disclosed system and method embodiments.

    摘要: Disclosed are embodiments of an integrated circuit chip designed for reliability at low ambient temperatures. The chip substrate can be divided into zones, including at least one temperature-sensitive zone (TSZ) that contains one or more temperature-sensitive circuits. Temperature sensor(s) can be positioned in the semiconductor substrate adjacent to the TSZ. Thermal radiator(s) can be embedded in a metal wiring layer and aligned above the TSZ. The temperature sensor(s) can be operatively connected to the thermal radiator(s) and can trigger operation of the thermal radiator(s) when the temperature in the TSZ is below a predetermined threshold temperature. Additionally, an on-chip power control system can be operatively connected to the thermal radiator(s) so that operation of the thermal radiator(s) is only triggered when a circuit within the TSZ is about to be powered up. Also disclosed are associated embodiments of a system and method for designing such an integrated circuit chip.
