    摘要: Apparatus and methods for translation of data formats between multiple interface types. Translation logic is interposed between a producer circuit and a consumer circuit to translate data formats of data signals generated by the producer for application to the consumer. The translation logic may include multiple translators to provide translations between any of multiple producer data formats and any of multiple consumer data formats. One or more producer circuits may thus be selectively coupled with one or more consumer circuits through the translation logic circuit.

    摘要: Methods and systems for processing a second request before processing of a first request has completed. The first request is associated with a first flow control credit type, and the second request is associated with a second flow control credit type. After a period of time, the second request is selected for processing based on the first flow control credit type and the second flow control credit type.

The electronic device that comprises a set of hardware registers that define a configuration of the electronic device, circuitry that implements programmable logic defining which hardware registers have been flagged for trapping incoming requests, and a shadow memory that includes values corresponding to the flagged hardware registers.

    摘要: Apparatus methods for capturing flow control errors in FIFO exchanges between producing and consuming circuits operating in different clock domains. Tag information at the start of an exchange is transferred to a synchronizing component before data of a transfer transaction is entered in the FIFO. The tag information is also associated with each unit of data transferred to the FIFO by the producing circuit. The synchronizing component verifies the each unit of data retrieved by the consuming circuit has the expected tag information associated therewith and signals an error is the tag information does not match. Thus an error by the producing circuit in entering too much or too little data for a transfer is detected before erroneous data is retrieved and processed by the consuming circuit.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for traversing a queue of commands containing a mixture of read and write commands places a Next Valid Write Address pointer in each queue entry. In this manner, time savings are achieved by allowing preprocessing of the next write command to be executed. The method may be practiced by setting a next valid address pointer in all queue entries. Queue traversal may be forward, backward, or bi-directional.

    摘要: Disclosed is a system that generates a write count value for indicating whether data can be read from a FIFO and a system that generates a read count value for indicating whether data can be written to a FIFO. Each of these systems operates in two separate clock domains. In the system that generates a write count value, write strobes are stored in parallel in a register in a first clock domain. The plurality of synchronizers trigger on a rising edge of the write strobe that is stored in the parallel register and generate an increment pulse in a second clock domain. An up/down counter reads the increment pulse in parallel and increments the up/down counter in parallel. A decrement signal from a read strobe decrements the up/down counter. The output of the counter is fed to a register that provides a write counter value to handshake logic that indicates whether data can be read from a FIFO without underflowing the FIFO.
