摘要:
An I/O driver comprising: a circuit adapted to be powered by a first power supply. The circuit is adapted to receive a first signal referenced to the voltage of a second power supply and is adapted to convert the first signal to a second signal of the same logical value as the first signal and referenced to the voltage of the first power supply. The circuit is adapted to maintain the second signal on an output of the I/O driver when the second power supply is powered off.

摘要:
Systems and methods are described for controlling playback of media assets. In some aspects, the systems and methods described detect a first user within proximity of a user equipment device. The systems and methods detect a second user, who is restricted from accessing a media asset on the user equipment device without a first user within proximity of the user equipment device who has a content authorization level higher than the second user. Processing circuitry measures the first user's engagement level with the user equipment device. The processing circuitry retrieves a threshold value from the user equipment's memory and determines whether the measured engagement level of the first user with the user equipment device is above the retrieved threshold. If the measured engagement level of the first user with the user equipment device is above the threshold, processing circuitry enables access to the media asset.

摘要:
A method for enhancing power bus for I/O libraries in ASIC designs is disclosed. An I/O assignment for I/O circuits to be utilized in an ASIC design is initially generated. Each I/O circuit may obtain power from either a primary I/O power bus or a secondary I/O power bus. A determination is then made as to whether or not the I/O assignment meets certain predetermined power distribution requirements. In a determination that the I/O assignment does not meet the predetermined power bus distribution requirements, a power enhancement cell is added. The power enhancement circuit includes at least one metal line for connecting the primary I/O power bus to the secondary I/O power bus in order for the I/O assignment to meet the power bus distribution requirements.

摘要:
A driver circuit has an input terminal at which a first signal having a first voltage swing is applied, and an output terminal at which: (i) a second signal having a second voltage swing is provided to external circuitry, and (ii) a third signal having a third voltage swing is received from the external circuitry. A level shifter circuit is coupled to the input terminal and translates the first signal to the second signal. The level shifter circuit includes circuitry which regulates the switching rate of the driver circuit. An output circuit is coupled between the level shifter circuit and the output terminal which drives the external circuitry with the second signal received from the level shifter circuit. The output circuit has a floating well, and a bias circuit is coupled between the output terminal and the well of the output circuit. The bias circuit biases the well proportional to the third voltage swing when the third signal is received at the output terminal. A feedback circuit is coupled between the output terminal and the output circuit. The feedback circuit deactivates at least a portion of the output circuit responsive to the third signal being received at the output terminal.
