20100008176 | Write Leveling Of Memory Units Designed To Receive Access Requests In A Sequential Chained Topology - A memory controller provided according to an aspect of the present invention uses a slower clock signal during write leveling compared to when performing write operations thereafter. Due to such use of a slower clock signal, the various desired delays can be determined accurately and/or easily. In an embodiment, the frequency of the slower clock signal is determined based on the maximum fly-by delay (generally the delay between sending of a signal on the shared sequential path and the receipt at the memory unit in the sequence) that may be present in the memory system. For example, if the fly by delay can be M (an integer) times the time period of the clock signal during normal write operations, the slower clock signal may have a time period of M times that of the clock signal during write operation. | 01-14-2010 |
20100039149 | Programmable Delay Circuit Providing For A Wide Span Of Delays - According to an aspect of the present invention, one of multiple clock signals of different relative phases is selected based on a desired delay magnitude, and the digital values received on an input signal are then synchronized to an edge (“first edge”) of the selected clock signal to provide the digital values with the desired delay magnitude. In an embodiment, the selected clock signal can be delayed by a fine value (less than the minimum phase difference of the multiple clock signals) to provide a wide span of desired delays. An aspect of the invention provides for a synchronization circuit with reduced latency and which is substantially invariant to process, voltage and temperature (PVT) changes. | 02-18-2010 |

20090328232 | Systems, Methods, and Program Products For Secure Code Execution - Methods, program product, and systems for providing tamper-resistant executable software code are provided to enable software code transport, storage, and execution security by formatting all instructions to use operand indirect addressing, resulting in an indirect table for each operand position, or field, in the instruction set. That is, rather than each instruction including an operand, each instruction includes an index to the location of the value of the operand in an indirect table. The methods, program product, and systems can also implement a non-typical instruction fetch associated with a program counter and a sequentially stored vector table, or jump table, to retrieve the next sequential instruction (“NSI”). Following rearranging or scrambling or encoding of the executable code, the code can be loaded and executed directly in scrambled form using the jump table, but cannot be meaningfully disassembled, nor executed properly, without the jump table to resolve the NSI. | 12-31-2009 |

20110107146 | Trace Reconstruction for Silicon Validation of Asynchronous Systems-on-Chip - A test system collects passing event data and failing event data, and merges the collected data into passing subsequences and failing subsequences, respectively. The test system identifies an overlap area between the passing subsequence and the failing subsequence in regards to time slices and tracepoint slices, and creates passing transactions and failing transactions using the event data corresponding to the overlap area. Next, the test system detects a timing discrepancy between the first passing transaction relative to the second passing transaction compared with the first failing transaction relative to the second failing transaction. The test system then reports the detected timing discrepancy, which allows a test engineer to perturb the test program in order to more frequently catch intermittent failures caused by asynchronous timing conditions. | 05-05-2011 |
