摘要:
In general, in one aspect, the disclosure describes a method for use in packet processing. The method can include receiving at least a portion of at least one packet and, based on the at least a portion of the at least one packet, determining a clock signal to provide to processing logic that processes the at least one packet.

A light-emitting device and optical communication system based on the light-emitting device is disclosed. The light-emitting device is formed in a float-zone substrate. The light-emitting device includes on the substrate lower surface a reflective layer and on the upper surface spaced apart doped regions. The portion of the upper surface between the doped regions is textured and optionally covered with an antireflection coating to enhance light emission. The light-emitting device can operate as a laser or as a light-emitting diode, depending on the reflectivities of the antireflection coating and the reflective layer.

One embodiment of a laser driver for high speed interconnections includes a buffered level shifter to shift the input voltage level to an appropriate level. In some embodiments the buffered level shifter may be tuned to provide a desired level shift with impedance matched to the driving load. Another embodiment converts a digital signal to a current train of a bias mode to represent logical zero and of a modulation mode to represent logical one, wherein one or both of the bias mode and modulation mode may be adjusted, for example by a programmable control circuit or by an adaptive control circuit. Some embodiments also provide circuitry for reducing overshoot of the output signal.

A device includes a first circuit having rows and columns of delay cells to generate delayed signals based on an input signal. The delayed signals are selectable and have a different delay from one another with respect to the input signal. The device is programmable based on a delay code. Different values of the delay code allow the device to select different delayed signals. The device may select one of the delayed signals from the first circuit for use as a timing signal in a second circuit of the device. The device may also use the delayed signals from the first circuit to evaluate a clock and data recovery circuit. In an embodiment, the circuits may be located on a single die.

A digital signature collection and authentication system includes an ink pen having an ultrasonic transmitter that transmits ultrasonic energy to a plurality of ultrasonic receivers. A computer triangulates the location of the pen versus time to generate the signature shape, and to generate velocity and acceleration data. The pen also includes a pressure sensitive tip to record pressure applied to the pen tip. The pen also includes a higher frequency burst transmitter useful to generate a time reference, and to transmit the pressure information. The computer packetizes the shape, velocity, acceleration, and pressure data with a time stamp and an IP address or phone number, encrypts the packet and sends it to a host computer for authentication.
摘要:
A voltage droop detector captures the very high-frequency noise on the power grid of a load, such as a microprocessor. The droop detector includes twin circuits, one of which receives the voltage from the power grid of the load, the other of which receives a filtered voltage. A 0th droop, as well as 1st droops, 2nd droops, and so on, are captured and stored for subsequent analysis. The circuits sample the voltages frequently enough to ensure that all droop events are captured. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
