Abstract:
An integrated circuit (IC) in an unresponsive radio equipment (RE) node includes a common public radio interface (CPRI) controller, a processor, and a system reset controller that includes an L1 (Layer 1) reset controller. The CPRI controller generates a reset request signal based on a CPRI reset request received from an RE controller (REC). The L1 reset controller generates a traffic stop signal based on the reset request signal. The CPRI controller generates a traffic idle signal based on the traffic stop signal. The L1 reset controller receives the traffic idle signal before a predetermined time period and generates a system reset signal for resetting the processor, thereby recovering the unresponsive RE node without disrupting the network topology of a communication system that includes the REC and multiple RE nodes including the unresponsive RE node connected via a CPRI link.
Abstract:
A system for isolating a first power domain from a second power domain in an integrated circuit includes receiving an input signal from the first power domain and receiving a set of bits from a programmable register. An isolation enable signal indicative of isolating the first power domain from the second power domain is generated, and an intermediate signal based on the isolation enable signal and the input signal is generated. At least one of the input signal, a logic low signal, a logic high signal, and the intermediate signal is output based on the isolation enable signal and the set of bits.
