    摘要: A method and system for choosing the control processor for booting a multiprocessor system (10) in accordance with a memory (42). A computer system (10) includes a plurality of computer processors (12). The processors (12) use a memory bus (18) to communicate with the main memory (20). A second bus (30) connects the processors (12) to an interupt controller (34). The second bus (30) includes multiple bus request lines (14). An initialization control circuit (32) also communicates with the second bus (30). Memory (42) in the initialization control circuit (32) holds data identifying at least one of the processors (12) and when power is first provided to the system, the initialization control circuit (32) operates to assert signals on the bus request lines (14) such that the identified processor initializes the computer system.

    摘要: A digital modulator includes a quantizer and a mapper. The quantizer converts a dithered signal value to a voltage. The mapper provides a modulated signal based on the voltage received from the quantizer. The mapper may maintain a substantially identical average centroid for modulated signals provided by the mapper. In an aspect, the mapper is included in a feedback of the digital modulator. The digital modulator may include any number of mappers. For example, a mode selection switch may select one of a plurality of mappers to map a voltage level received from the quantizer to a respective digital sequence.

    摘要: A sequence mapping circuit and method for digital audio circuits generates a pulsed output. Over time, the mapping circuit generates pulses with a substantially identical average centroid for each of the possible output waveforms. For at least some of the output waveforms, two or more sets of pulses are provided representing the same waveform but having different centroids. The output is alternated among the available sets of pulses to maintain the desired average centroid over time. Shuffling of the output among the available pulses representing a given waveform may be randomly determined, or the pulses used may be tracked and the output pulses sequentially alternated among the available output pulses. The shuffled mapping method reduces output harmonics compared to conventional static mappers.

    摘要: A multi-channel modulator for the transmission of telephony signals within a broadband communication system. An interpolation module generates processed I and Q signal components by upsampling filtered I and Q signal components. In turn, these processed I and Q signal components output by a filter are passed to a set of channel modulators. Each channel modulator accepts a pair of processed I and Q signal components and, in response, modulates a selected carrier signal with one of the telephony signals to produce a complex modulated signal. An adder module responds to the complex modulated signals by summing the real signal components to produce a real resultant signal, and to sum the imaginary components to produce an imaginary resultant signal. A digital-to-analog converter (DAC) module coverts the real resultant signal and the imaginary resultant signal, which are represented by digital data streams, to analog signals. A transmitter, responsive to the analog signals, transmits the modulated signals within a frequency band of the broadband communications network.

    摘要: Distortion and aliasing reduction for digital to analog conversion. Synthesis of one or more distortion terms made based on a digital signal (e.g., one or more digital codewords) is performed in accordance with digital to analog conversion. The one or more distortion terms may correspond to aliased higher-order harmonics, distortion, nonlinearities, clipping, etc. Such distortion terms may be known a priori, such as based upon particular characteristics of a given device, operational history, etc. Alternatively, such distortion terms may be determined based upon operation of a device and/or based upon an analog signal generated from the analog to conversion process. For example, frequency selective measurements made based on an analog signal generated from the digital to analog conversion may be used for determination of and/or adaptation of the one or more distortion terms. One or more DACs may be employed within various architectures operative to perform digital to analog conversion.
