    摘要: A level translator block receives a control signal and a data signal and provides an interface between circuitry operating in a first voltage domain and circuitry operating in a second voltage domain. Thick-oxide transistors are appropriately used in the level translator block to reduce gate leakage currents when translating signals.

    摘要: An integrated circuit having CMOS transistors processed with different gate-oxide thicknesses. The transistors having the thinner gate-oxide may be used to generate data values that may be stored by the transistors having the thicker gate-oxides. The thicker gate-oxides may reduce gate leakage currents during a system standby mode.

    摘要: A multiprocessor data processing system includes a private data bus and a private program bus coupled to each of the processors. Coupled between the private data buses is a plurality of memory banks, each of which can be dynamically switched between the processors to move blocks of data without physically transferring the data from one bank to another. Likewise, a plurality of memory banks is coupled between the program buses. These memory banks are loaded with pages of program instructions from external memory over a shared bus. Any one of the pages can be coupled to either of the processors on its respective private program bus. When the pages are coupled to the shared bus, they appear as a contiguous address space. When a page is coupled to one of the private program buses, the addressing mode is changed so that the page is mapped to a common address space. This permits the program code to be loaded into any available page, and the processors can execute the code regardless of where it has been loaded, thereby permitting easy relocatability.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with selective shorting are described. According to one embodiment, an apparatus includes a selective shorting device connected between clock branches. The selective shorting device is configured to selectively electrically connect the clock branches to one another and to selectively electrically disconnect the clock branches from one another. The apparatus also includes a selective shorting control mechanism that controls the selective shorting device to electrically connect the clock branches during a controlling portion of a clock signal. The selective shorting control mechanism is configured to electrically disconnect the clock branches in the absence of the controlling portion.
