Abstract: Connector systems may include a connector receptacle and connector plug or insert. The connector receptacle may include a tongue. A first plurality of contacts may be formed on a top surface of the tongue. A first ground pad may be located on a top surface of tongue, and a shield may be formed around the tongue. The connector insert may include a housing and a conductive shield around the housing behind a leading edge of the connector insert. A front edge of the shield may be folded into an opening at the leading edge. In other examples, the receptacle shield may include one or more fingers. These fingers may contact the connector insert shield to form a ground path. One or more of these fingers may engage openings in the insert shield to provide a retention force between the connector insert and receptacle.

Abstract: Circuits, methods, and apparatus for transferring data from a device's input clock domain to a core clock domain. One example achieves this by using a retiming element between input and core circuits. The retiming element is calibrated by incrementally sweeping a delay and receiving data at each increment. Minimum and maximum delays where data is received without errors are averaged. This average can then be used to adjust the timing of a circuit element inserted in an input path between an input register clocked by an input strobe signal and an output register clocked by a core clock signal. In one example, an input signal may be delayed by an amount corresponding to the delay setting. In other examples, each input signal is registered using an intermediate register between the input register and the output register, where a clock signal is delayed by an amount corresponding to the delay setting.

Abstract: Circuits, methods, and apparatus that adaptively control 1T and 2T timing for a memory controller interface. An embodiment of the present invention provides a first memory interface as well as an additional memory interface, each having a number of address and control lines. The address and control lines of the redundant memory interface may be individually enabled and disabled. If a line in the additional interface is enabled, it and its corresponding line in the first interface drive a reduced load and may operate at the higher 1T data rate. If a line in the additional interface is disabled, then its corresponding line in the first interface drives a higher load and may operate at the slower 2T data rate. In either case, the operating speed of the interface may also be considered in determining whether each line operates with 1T or 2T timing.

Abstract: Connector inserts and receptacles that provide a clear response to a user when a connector insert is properly inserted into a connector receptacle. One example may provide a connector system that provides a tactile response to a user when a connector insert is properly inserted into a connector receptacle. In other examples, the response provided to the user may be audible as well. The insertion of the connector insert into the connector receptacle may follow a force profile that includes an insertion profile defined by a substantially monotonically increasing resistance force from the beginning of insertion until an insertion peak is reached, followed by a click-through event leading to a final mating position.

Abstract: Sockets that provide easy access for users to change cards while allowing the use of thinner device enclosures. One example provides a socket having two positions. When the socket is in an open state, the card may be oriented in a direction substantially away from the main logic board. When the socket is in a closed state, the card moves such that it is oriented at least closer to being in parallel to the main logic board.
