    摘要: The output of drivers which are used to drive the input signals to a multiplexed signal line are combined in a logic OR gate or a logic AND gate prior to connection to the input of the multiplexed line. The inactive state of drivers connected through a logic OR gate is set to 0 and the inactive state of drivers connected through a logic AND gate is set to 1. Bus contention between drivers is eliminated and the bandwidth of the multiplexed serial bus is increased because of the reduced wait time between driver transitions. Power dissipation in transition is reduced and the bus can have a programmable inactive state on a bus to allow for 1, 0 or High Z to indicate the inactive state.

    摘要: A method of power consumption reduction in integrated circuits comprising extensive use of differential signaling within said circuits. Differential signaling comprises a pair of coupled, symmetrically opposite and operatively dependent electronic signals each driven by voltages of the same magnitude, but of opposite polarity with respect to a common ground. The drive voltages of each signal are of relatively low potential as compared to the core operating voltage of present day devices. The low-voltage pair of signals tends to create offsetting fields of electromagnetic interference from the flow of current within their respective conductors which tends to minimize inductive effects (and therefore corruption of signals) in adjacent signal lines. Differential signaling replaces all or as many single-end signals as possible throughout the device resulting in relatively lower power usage as compared to present devices.

    摘要: A method for reducing soft error rates in semiconductor memory. In one embodiment, memory is partitioned into a) boot and download memory, b) program memory and c) data memory. Each partition receives protection according to the importance of the data stored. The boot memory is protected by sensing errors and repairing them utilizing on-chip data storage redundancy and exchange. The program memory is protected by sensing errors and repairing damaged data by reloading it using the program stored in the boot and download memory. The data memory is selectively protected similar to the program memory, but with the added feature of regular saving to disk from which to check for accurate data in the event of corruption. In another embodiment, any or all of the soft error protection features are selectable on a global basis, a memory type basis or, in the cases of program and data memory, on a block level basis.

    摘要: Modularized clock decoupling and signal delay management is provided for the purpose of reducing simultaneous binary signal switch-induced inductive voltage transients in lower voltage synchronous semiconductor devices. The voltage levels in low-voltage devices must be tightly maintained for proper transistor logic operations. Signal switching results in current changes on the power net of an IC. Current changes produce inductive voltage transients which propagate throughout the device and which can interfere with signal transmission and device operation. Relatively independent functioning circuits of an integrated circuit are isolated from the chip clock and each isolated circuit module is provided with its own independent, same-frequency, but slightly out-of-phase clock signal. Signal switching within any module is thus occurring out-of-phase with that of all other modules and, as a result, switch-associated voltage transients are limited to those associated with one module's circuits at a time.

    摘要: Disclosed above are various embodiments of VoIP communication systems that utilize low cost IP phones that rely on a centralized VoIP controller for much of the processing. Reducing the processing taking place on an IP phone may reduce the number of components that need to be on the IP phone which may result in a less expensive IP phone in terms of both cost and power. When the IP phone is embodied as a WIPP, the reduced processing may also result in more efficient communication between the WIPP and an AP. The increased communication efficiency may result in less power being used by the WIPP and effectively extend the battery life. Since a number of redundant components have been centralized, the VoIP system as a whole may be less costly. Also, centralized control may provide greater functionality and versatility in the setup and configuration of a VoIP communication system.

    摘要: A message-based memory system for Digital Signal Processor (DSP) storage expansion has a shared memory device connected to a number of DSPs through a packet communication bus. Each of the DSPs has a packet bus interface interconnected to the packet bus; and a messaging unit connected to the packet bus interface. The memory device interconnected to the packet bus can provide shared memory space for the DSPs to increase the amount of memory available to each DSP. The memory device can also be utilized to provide access to common information such as shared data or shared programing that may need to be run by multiple DSPs. The DSPs and the memory device communicate through the packet bus interface by generating packetized read and write requests.
