    摘要: In one implementation, a device may include a voltage regulator circuit, a data processing circuit, and an error correction circuit, where the error correction circuit may correct errors in data processed by the data processing circuit to obtain error-corrected data and output an error-corrected version of the processed data. Additionally, an error monitor circuit may output an error signal indicative of a level of the errors in the processed data. A control circuit may receive the error signal and control the voltage regulator circuit to adjust, based on the error signal, the supply voltage to the data processing circuit. In some implementations, the control circuit may also base its decision to control the voltage regulator circuit based on available timing margins in the data processing circuit.

    摘要: An interconnect delay test uses the IEEE 1149.1 standard test access port (TAP) controller. No modification of standard boundary cells is required. Since the standard boundary scan cells are used, circuit board and/or backplane interconnect delay tests do not affect ASIC (application specific integrated circuit) designs. It allows board and system designers to add new interconnect AC tests for any signals at any time without modification of ASICs. Since the method has no impact on the operations of the standard TAP controller, it is possible to use available test softwares for interconnect DC tests to perform the proposed delay test. The method can also be integrated as part of in-system interconnect tests.

    摘要: Filter implementation using Hermitian conjugates and time division multiplexing (TDM) is disclosed to more efficiently compensate for chromatic dispersion of optical signals transmitted over a fiber optic medium. Embodiments for an input, filter, and output sections of a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) are described. The disclosed methods, and corresponding apparatus and systems enables a substantial reduction in the complexity of the hardware needed to implement CD compensation in the DSP. According to another embodiment, Inverse-Fourier transform circuits receive TDM data from the filter section and assemble the TDM data format back to a non-TDM format.

    摘要: A technique for testing a static random access memory comprising at least the first port and a second port is disclosed. In one embodiment, the technique may be realized by testing the memory with values through the first port while applying one of a shadow write and a shadow read from the second port and testing the memory through the second port while applying one of the shadow write and the shadow read from the first port. The shadow write may be designed to write specified values into cells of the memory not being tested where the specified values are opposite to values used in testing the memory. The shadow read may be designed to read values from memory that are opposite to the values used in testing the memory.
