Patent number: 9407265Abstract: An integrated circuit has signal assist circuitry for assisting with pulling a signal on the signal line towards the logical low or high signal level. The signal assist circuitry comprises first and second assist circuits. The first assist circuit couples the signal line to the logical high signal level following a pullup transition of the signal and provides a floating signal level following a pulldown transition, while the second assist circuit provides the floating signal level following the pullup transition and provides the logical low signal level following the pulldown transition. By providing complementary first and second assist circuits, each circuit can be optimized for the opposite transition to achieve improved performance or power consumption.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2013Date of Patent: August 2, 2016Assignee: ARM LimitedInventors: Srinivasan Srinath, Ambica Ashok, Fakhruddin Ali Bohra

Patent number: 8963609Abstract: An integrated level shifting combinatorial circuit receives a plurality of input signals in a first voltage domain and performs a combinatorial operation to generate an output signal in a second voltage domain. The circuit includes combinatorial circuitry includes first and second combinatorial circuit portions operating in respective first and second voltage domains. The second combinatorial circuit portion has an output node whose voltage level identifies a value of the output signal and includes feedback circuitry which applies a level shifting function to an intermediate signal generated by the first combinatorial circuit portion.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2013Date of Patent: February 24, 2015Assignee: ARM LimitedInventors: Gus Yeung, Srinivasan Srinath, Fakhruddin Ali Bohra

Patent number: 7724015Abstract: A data processing device includes a first memory for use during normal operation of the device and a second memory for use during testing. The second memory stores a set of test patterns for testing of a functional module. When the data processing device is in a normal (i.e. non-test) mode of operation, data is retrieved from a first memory based on a received memory address. The retrieved data is applied to the functional module of the data processing device to perform a designated function. When the data processing device is in a test mode of operation, received memory addresses are provided to the second memory for retrieval of a test pattern associated with the address. The test pattern is applied to the functional module to generate an output pattern. The result of a test is determined by comparing the output pattern to an expected pattern.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2008Date of Patent: May 25, 2010Assignee: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.Inventors: Srinivasan Srinath, Sudhir S. Kudva, Joel T. Irby
