摘要： A power conversation apparatus in a computer system. This apparatus includes an identification register in a processor comprising a contents including a plurality of flags for identifying the characteristics of the processor. One of these characteristics may be whether the processor includes static logic devices. In such systems, the clock connected to the processor may be halted, without the corruption of data in the processor. Other characteristics may include whether the processor is clocked at the same rate as the system, or whether the processor may operate on a lower voltage power source. The apparatus further comprises a transmission circuit for transferring the contents of the identification register from the processor to a system coupled to the processor upon the receipt of a first code. The apparatus also comprises a reception circuit in the system for receiving the contents of the identification register, a storage circuit for storing the contents of the identification register, a determination circuit in the system for determining the contents of the storage circuit, such a logic unit, and a clock halt circuit for stopping the clock. In this manner, various characteristics of the processor may be determined allowing the system to be reconfigured and power conserved appropriately.

摘要： A method for programming and erasing a memory array includes the step of adapting programming or erase pulses to the current state of the memory array. In one embodiment, the step of adapting includes the steps of determining the voltage level of the programming pulse used to program a fast bit of the memory array and setting an initial programming level of the memory array to a level in the general vicinity of the programming level of the fast bit. For erasure, the method includes the steps of determining erase conditions of the erase pulse used to erase a slowly erasing bit of said memory array and setting initial erase conditions of said memory array to the general vicinity of said erase conditions of said slowly erasing bit. In another embodiment of the array, the step of adapting includes the steps of measuring the current threshold level of a bit to within a given range and selecting an incremental voltage level of a next programming or erase pulse for the bit in accordance with the measured current threshold level.

摘要： A method and apparatus for synchronizing an asynchronous signal to a clock signal. The apparatus includes an enable generator, first, second and third sampling circuits, a selecting circuit, and can include a latching circuit. The enable generator is coupled to the first sampling circuit by a first enable line, to the second sampling circuit by a second enable line, and to the third sampling circuit by a third enable line. The first, second, and third sampling circuits are coupled to receive the asynchronous signal. The selecting circuit is coupled to receive the output signals of the first, second and third sampling circuits. For the first sampling circuit, the following steps are performed: sampling the asynchronous signal, generating an output signal for the sampling circuit, waiting a period of time, and selecting the sampling circuit's output signal. These steps are also performed for the second sampling circuit and the third sampling circuit.
