    摘要: Systems and methods are provided that can be utilized to estimate power associated with a circuit design. The estimated power is determined by employing power characterizations to determine power consumption associated with non-conventional circuits in the circuit design. The power characterizations can be determined prior to circuit design timing analysis, stored and utilized during circuit design timing analysis. The power estimates associated with the non-conventional circuits can be added to power estimates associated with the conventional circuits of the circuit design to compute a power associated with the circuit design.

    摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing a temporarily modified output. A waveform control provides a control output that temporarily adjusts to an intermediate level between normal high and low levels during a first operating mode. The waveform control provides the control output to transition periodically between the high and low levels during a second operating mode. A delay network controls the waveform control to provide the output at the intermediate level for a duration during the first operating mode.

    摘要: In a preferred embodiment, the invention provides a circuit and method for reducing soft error events in latches. A low-pass filter is placed between the output of a forward inverter and the inputs of a feedback keeper. The first and second outputs of the low-pass filter are connected to first and second inputs respectively of the feedback keeper. The only type of diffusion connected to the first output of the low-pass filter is a P-type diffusion. The only type of diffusion connected to the second output of the low-pass filter is an N-type diffusion. The feedback keeper is connected to an input of the forward inverter.

    摘要: Systems, methodologies, media, and other embodiments associated with detecting and responding to a degradation of a direct current provided to a frequency scalable processor are described. One exemplary frequency scalable processor includes a voltage regulating logic configured to request that a direct current having a reference voltage be provided to the processor. The example processor may also include a logic for detecting whether the voltage matches the reference voltage to within a desired tolerance and to selectively store processor state and/or data based on the detecting.
