    摘要: Leakage current is eliminated in a memory array during a low power mode of a processing system having a processor that interfaces with the memory array. Because two power planes are created, the processor may continue executing instructions using a system memory while bypassing the memory array when the array is powered down. A switch selectively removes electrical connectivity to a supply voltage terminal in response to either processor-initiated control resulting from execution of an instruction or from a source originating in the system somewhere else than the processor. Upon restoration of power to the memory array, data may or may not need to be marked as unusable depending upon which of the two power planes supporting arrays to the memory array are located. Predetermined criteria may be used to control the timing of the restoration of power. Multiple arrays may be implemented to independently reduce leakage current.

    摘要: A method of power gating a latch including detecting a state of the latch, detecting a power gate signal, providing power to the latch while the power gate signal is negated, and removing power from the latch when the power gate signal is asserted and the latch is in a predetermined state. The method may include any one or more of pulling a node of the latch to a selected state while the power gate signal is asserted to ensure that the latch powers up in the predetermined state, providing a signal indicative of the latch state and the power gate signal to respective inputs of a logic gate having an output indicative thereof, switching a supply voltage to a power input of the latch based on a state of the output of the logic gate, and closing a switch to pull a node of the latch low.

    摘要: One surface of a semiconductor component attached to one surface of a header with an opposite surface of the component having an optical input/output positioned adjacent one end of an optical fiber. The component and optical fiber are fixedly attached with no strain by a curable gel with the header acting as a heat sink. Electrical contacts are made to the component by means of leads formed on the header and/or a conductive coating deposited on the optical fiber.

    摘要: A signal processing circuit (10) performs a sample and hold (16) of an input signal (14) and stores a maximum value of the input signal (18). A guardband signal (21) is developed that is less than the maximum value that is stored. The input signal is compared to the guardband signal to determine if the input signal is above or below the guardband signal. A threshold signal (25) is developed by taking a percentage of the maximum value that is stored. The input signal is compared to the threshold signal to regenerate the input waveform. If the input signal is below the guardband signal and above the threshold signal, the sample and hold circuit is reset to acquire a new maximum value of the input signal so that a new threshold can be used for regenerating the input signal.
