    摘要: 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.

    摘要: Associative index extended (AIX) caches can be functionally implemented through a reconfigurable decoder that employs programmable line decoding. The reconfigurable decoder features scalability in the number of lines, the number of index extension bits, and the number of banks. The reconfigurable decoder can switch between pure direct mapped (DM) mode and direct mapped-associative index extended (DM-AIX) mode of operation. For banked configurations, the reconfigurable decoder provides the ability to run some banks in DM mode and some other banks in DM-AIX mode. A cache employing this reconfigurable decoder can provide a comparable level of latency as a DM cache with minimal modifications to a DM cache circuitry of an additional logic circuit on a critical signal path, while providing low power operation at low area overhead with SA cache-like miss rates. Address masking and most-recently-used-save replacement policy can be employed with a single bit overhead per line.

    摘要: A method of automatically generating structure files employing a full structure generator automated program is provided. An annotated device layout file is generated from a design layout by annotating the codes for design shapes with additional text representing the functionality of a physical structure associated with each design shape. Functioning individual semiconductor devices are identified from the annotated device layout file, and a circuit area including multiple interconnected semiconductor devices are identified. A front-end-of-line (FEOL) device structure file and a back-end-of-line (BEOL) device structure file are generated from layer by layer analysis of the components of the annotated device layout within the circuit area. Finite element meshes (FEMs) are generated for the FEOL and BEOL structure files and merged to provide a structure file that can be employed for simulation of semiconductor devices therein.
