摘要:
A peripheral controller, and method of operation, for half duplex communication between a system and a peripheral, in which a system clock and a peripheral clock are asynchronous, are described. A FIFO includes a FIFO controller and a FIFO memory and has a plurality of inputs. A multiplexer circuit is connected to the plurality of inputs, and is operable by a selection signal to supply either a first group of system and peripheral signals or a second group of system and peripheral signals to the FIFO to operate the FIFO to transmit data from the system to the peripheral or to receive data at the system from the peripheral.

A control device includes a first processor, a relay device, a second processor, and a third processor. The first processor is configured to perform data communications with an electronic device. The relay device is configured to relay the data communications. The relay device includes a buffer for storing data to be transmitted or received in the data communications. The second processor is configured to check a state of the buffer to detect a buffer full state in which the buffer is full. The third processor is configured to check a state of the first processor to detect a halt state in which the first processor has halted. The third processor is configured to reset the relay device upon detecting the halt state and upon the second processor detecting the buffer full state.

A system and method can support queue processing in a computing environment. A lazy sorting priority queue in a concurrent system can include a priority queue and one or more buffers. The one or more buffers, which can be first-in first-out (FIFO) buffers, operate to store one or more requests received from one or more producers, and move at least one message to the priority queue when no consumer is waiting for processing a request. Furthermore, the priority queue operates to prioritize one or more incoming requests received from the one or more buffers, and allows one or more consumers to pick up the requests based on priority.

Embodiments generally relate to a memory device. In one embodiment, the memory device includes a clock receiver circuit that receives an external clock signal and provides an internal clock signal. The memory device also includes a delay-locked loop circuit (DLL) having an input, and a circuit that receives the internal clock signal. The circuit selects which pulses of the internal clock signal are applied to the input of the DLL, such that no more than two clock pulses selected from at least three consecutive pulses of the external clock signal are applied to the input of the DLL during a predetermined interval. In another embodiment, a method includes receiving an external clock signal at a clock receiver circuit, receiving an internal clock signal from the clock receiver circuit, and selecting which pulses of the internal clock signal are applied to an input of a DLL, where no more than two clock pulses selected from at least three consecutive pulses of the external clock signal are applied to the input of the DLL during a predetermined interval.

A system that calibrates timing relationships between signals involved in performing write operations is described. This system includes a memory controller which is coupled to a set of memory chips, wherein each memory chip includes a phase detector configured to calibrate a phase relationship between a data-strobe signal and a clock signal received at the memory chip from the memory controller during a write operation. Furthermore, the memory controller is configured to perform one or more write-read-validate operations to calibrate a clock-cycle relationship between the data-strobe signal and the clock signal, wherein the write-read-validate operations involve varying a delay on the data-strobe signal relative to the clock signal by a multiple of a clock period.

A timestamp generator generates a timestamp value having a predetermined number of most significant bits and a predetermined number of least significant bits. The least significant bits are transmitted to a client via a parallel data bus. The most significant bits are transmitted to the client sequentially via a series data bus. Each client receives the parallel least significant bits and the series most significant bits and assembles a complete time stamp value.

A apparatus, having a processing system and an input buffer coupled with both the processing system and one of two IO pads, and a reference buffer coupled to both the input buffer and the second of the IO pads such that the reference generator controls the input threshold of the input buffer in response to an analog voltage received from an external circuit on the second of the IO pads.
摘要:
A FIFO memory having a modifiable memory region; the FIFO memory being configured as a linear memory and as a circular buffer; the FIFO memory having a state machine that contains a new base value and a new top value for definition of a memory region allocated in the future, the lower boundary of which region is defined by the new base value and the upper boundary of which is defined by the new top value, and the state machine is configured in such a way that in a read mode and/or a write mode of the FIFO memory, the allocated memory region of the FIFO memory is modifiable by shifting the base pointer to the new base value, and/or by shifting the top pointer to the new top value.

A memory card and a communication method between a memory card and a host unit are disclosed. High throughput of data between the memory card and the host unit is guaranteed by providing a communication interface between the memory card and the host unit including a first communication interface between a memory unit of the memory card and a control unit of the memory card and a second communication interface between the control unit of the memory card and the host unit.
摘要:
A method and apparatus of performing a data transmission from an electronic device or a peripheral device of an electronic device to a peripheral device of a remote electronic device is disclosed. One example method of performing the data transmission may include transmitting data designated for the remote peripheral device to a local virtual device object. The data that is received by the local virtual device object is transmitted via at least one communication interface or peripheral device of the electronic device to at least one remote communication interface or peripheral device of the remote electronic device. The data arriving at the least one remote communication interface or peripheral device of the remote electronic device is received by a remote virtual device object and transmitted to the designated remote peripheral device.
