Abstract: A method of apparatus for immersion cooling electronic equipment including immersing the electronic equipment in a pressure-sealed tank containing a heat transfer fluid and including a vapor space fluidicly coupled to a condenser; operating the electronic equipment to generate heat and evaporate some of the heat transfer fluid, causing heat transfer fluid vapor to enter the condenser; condensing the heat transfer fluid vapor in the condenser to produce a condensate; returning the condensate to the tank; and increasing power consumption to increase heat generated by the electronic equipment and develop an increased pressure of the heat transfer fluid vapor to bring the apparatus into an equilibrium condition.
Abstract: Layouts of transmission gates and related techniques and systems are described. An integrated circuit may include first and second transmission gates disposed in a column, and metal wires. The first transmission gate includes first and second control terminals, and the second transmission gate includes first and second control terminals. The metal wires extend between the first and second transmission gates in a direction substantially orthogonal to the column, and include a first control wire coupled to the first control terminals of the first and second transmission gates.
Abstract: Techniques and devices for differential signal repeating are described. A differential signal repeating method may include receiving an input differential signal pair including first and second input signals received at first and second input terminals, respectively, and generating an output signal at an output terminal. Generating the output signal may include: based on a determination, at a first time, that the first and second input signals represent complementary values, setting a level of the output signal to represent an inverse of the value represented by the first input signal, and based on a determination, at a second time, that the first and second input signals do not represent complementary values, placing the output terminal in a high-impedance state.
Abstract: Circuits and techniques for mesochronous processing are provided. A communication method for a mesochronously clocked system may include synchronizing processing of first and second processing units to first and second mesochronous clock signals, respectively. The first and second mesochronous clock signals may have a same frequency and different phases, respectively. The method may further include sending data from the first processing unit to the second processing unit, and enabling or disabling receipt of the data by the second processing unit based, at least in part, on states of the first and second mesochronous clock signals.
