摘要:
The present invention provides circuitry which facilitates user selection of alternative memory accessing techniques. The present invention provides a design approach or technique to transform the time associated with waiting for a valid "way-select" signal into cycle reduction time, thus providing a beneficial increase in the overall performance of multi-way associative cache and memory designs.

A dynamic latch circuit design minimizes set and restore power without sacrificing speed. The dynamic latch circuit provides two significant power saving advantages over traditional dynamic latch designs. The first regulates dynamic restore power with the state of the latch. If the dynamic internal node of the latch has not been discharged, then the restore signal applied to the input of the latch is not transferred to the restore device attached to the node. By isolating the restore device under these conditions, additional power is not wasted boot-strapping up the already precharged node. Second, by design, the restore path and set path are separate. The input signals used to set the latch are different and isolated from those performing the restore. Therefore, there is no conducting path between the voltage source and circuit ground as the restore device turns on.

A local on-chip programmable pulsewidth and delay generating circuit includes a clock generation circuit configured to receive a global clock signal and output a local clock signal. The clock generation circuit includes a pulse shaping portion which adjusts a pulse width of the global clock signal in accordance with at least one of a trailing edge delay and a leading edge delay. The leading edge delay is generated by a leading edge delay circuit, and the trailing edge delay is generated by a trailing edge delay circuit configured to apply a delay to a trailing edge of a pulse. The trailing edge delay circuit includes a delay chain having programmable stages of delay elements, each stage being independently controlled using control bits decoded from address latches.

A method and circuit for measuring internal pulses includes an enable circuit configured to receive a control signal from an on-chip built-in tester to enable measurement of internal circuits. A delay chain is configured to receive a pulse signal from an on-chip circuit component. Sampling latches each include a data input coupled between adjacent delay elements of the delay chain and synchronized with the clock signal such that a transition in the pulse signal is indicated by comparing adjacent digital values in an output sequence.

摘要:
A system and method is disclosed for operating a content addressable memory (CAM) within an integrated circuit using search signals at search input voltages which are substantially independent from an operating voltage of the CAM. A method is disclosed in which search signals are input to CAM cells of the CAM at search input voltages which are substantially independent of an operating voltage of storage elements within the CAM cells. A match signal is output upon detecting a matching condition between the search signals and data stored in the storage elements. The search input voltage can be within about 0.2V above a threshold voltage of a search input device of the CAM memory cell. Search input devices can be selected to have a lower threshold voltage than other devices included within the CAM cell.
