摘要:
A partially manufactured semiconductor chip comprising a slice and a number of shells is a template for a communication and networking chip. The slice has a number of I/O ports, blocks, and PHYs. The hardmac PHYs are established to correspond to a high speed data transmission protocol. The interior of the template comprises logic gate arrays and configurable memory. Once particular protocols of data receipt and transmission are selected, the logic gate arrays and configurable memory can be programmed and otherwise configured to develop protocol layers for data networking and communication.

An embodiment of this invention uses a massive parallel interconnect fabric (MPIF) at the flipped interface of a core die substrate (having the core logic blocks) and a context die (used for in circuit programming/context/customization of the core die substrate), to produce ASIC-like density and FPGA-like flexibility/programmability, while reducing the time and cost for development and going from prototyping to production, reducing cost per die, reducing or eliminating NRE, and increasing performance. Other embodiments of this invention enable debugging complex SoC through large contact points provided through the MPIF, provide for multi-platform functionality, and enable incorporating FGPA core in ASIC platform through the MPIF.

A time division media access controller for use with a multi-port data switch and a method of controlling media access. In one embodiment, the time division media access controller includes a time division receive engine, a time division transmit engine and a time division arbiter coupled to the time division receive and transmit engines. The time division receive engine accepts data from a plurality of data ports and the time division transmit engine provides data to a plurality of data ports. The time division arbiter controls states of the time division receive and transmit engines based on throughput requirements of the data. In preferred embodiments, the time division media access controller complies with the IEEE 802.3 ethernet standard.

A film correction system adjusts a relative position of film containing an area for information and a scanner of the film area. The system includes a scanner for scanning the film area at a film plane. A film drive moves the film along the film plane. A focused beam separate from the film area scanner scans a film edge in the film for determining a location of the film edge. A circuit is coupled to the focused beam scanner for changing a relative position of the film area scanner and the film area. The film edge scanner is a flying spot scanner, and the apparatus includes signal processors for processing the sprocket information. The system may be retrofit to an existing telecine apparatus. A separate coil may be used to provide deflection of a flying spot scanner used to scan the picture information on the film.
