Abstract:
A fuel system includes an electronic control module (ECM), at least one injector coupled to the ECM, and a configurable output driver circuit coupled to the at least one injector. The configurable output driver circuit includes a channel that enables adaptation of ECM outputs. The configurable output driver circuit is configurable based on a value stored in a register circuit.

A circuit for generating a modulated signal in a transmitter of an integrated circuit is disclosed. The circuit comprises a transmitter driver circuit (302) having a first current path (325) for receiving a first input signal (Dataln) of a pair of differential input signals and a second current path (329) for receiving a second input signal (Dataln_b) of the pair of differential input signals, the transmitter driver circuit comprising a tail current path (327) coupled to each of the first current path and the second current path; a first current source (370) coupled between a first reference voltage (AVCCAUX) and ground (AVSS), wherein a first current of the first current source is proportional to the tail current of the tail current path; a first pull-up current source (460) coupled between the first reference voltage and a first output node (314) of the transmitter driver circuit; and a second pull-up current source (480) coupled between the first reference voltage and a second output node (320) of the transmitter driver circuit.

Abstract:
An input/output circuit (102) implemented in an integrated circuit (100) is described. The input/output circuit comprises an input/output pad (202, 204) and a voltage control circuit (229) coupled to the input/output pad. The voltage control circuit sets a voltage at the input/output pad at a first voltage when the input/output pad is implemented as an input pad (RX Mode control: high) and at a second voltage when the input/output pad is implemented as an output pad (RX Mode Control: low). Methods of implementing input/output circuits in an integrated circuit are also described.
Abstract:
A sub-VT FPGA uses a low swing, dual-VDD interconnect scheme to reduce FPGA area per LUT, delay at a constant energy, and energy at a constant delay relative to a conventional design at low voltage. These improvements are made possible by a custom asynchronous sense amp, a separated voltage for memory cells, and an improved passgate interconnect to optimize routing delay with low energy overhead. This sub-threshold FPGA design enables energy efficient and cost effective configurable logic for a wide variety of ULP applications.
Abstract:
An integrated circuit (8) comprising an array (10) of interconnected configurable logic elements (12), such as an FPGA array, is provided. The logic elements are used to form a power controller (14) which separately controls the power state of different regions of the array. Each region of the array contains one or more logic elements. Each region has a corresponding region controller (16) responsive to one or more power signals generated by the power controller to switch that region into the requested power state.
