    摘要: Flexible circuits mountable in a standoff region between a chip carrier, e.g., a ball grid array (BGA) component, and a printed circuit board (PCB) of a surface-mount package are described. In an example, a flexible circuit includes holes to receive pins, e.g., solder balls, of the BGA component, and one or more conductive leads electrically connected to respective solder balls within the holes. The conductive leads may interconnect several solder balls within the standoff region, and may be electrically accessible through a test pad located laterally outward from the standoff region. Electrical signals may be monitored or driven through the test pad, and thus, the flexible circuit may be used as a debug tool for detecting and or correcting a design fault of the surface-mount package.

    摘要: An embodiment of the present invention is a technique to dynamically swap processor cores. A first core has a first instruction set. The first core executes a program at a first performance level. The first core stops executing the program when a triggering event occurs. A second core has a second instruction set compatible with the first instruction set and has a second performance level different than the first performance level. The second core is in a power down state when the first core is executing the program. A circuit powers up the second core after the first core stops executing the program such that the second core continues executing the program at the second performance level.
