Abstract: Disclosed herein is circuitry for bypassing a medium voltage regulator during testing. The circuitry includes a low voltage regulator to, in operation, generate a first voltage within a first voltage range for powering first circuitry, and a medium voltage regulator to, in operation, generate a second voltage within a second voltage range greater than the first voltage range for powering second circuitry.

Abstract: A user device and a server conduct a secure online transaction. The user device transmits received user login and credentials to the server, as well as one or more properties of the user device, such as a list of applications stored on the user device. The server transmits one or more restrictions back to the user device, such as which ports to close, which applications to close, and what features of applications and the operating system should be limited during the transaction. After implementing the restrictions, the user device and the server conduct the online transaction. A unique ID may be transmitted throughout the transaction and the unique ID may be a hash. After the transaction, the user device purges transaction data, restores normal operation, and notifies the server. The transaction may be conducted in a second tunnel and the other communication via a first tunnel.

Abstract: A channel stream is received and demultiplexed into a video packetized elementary stream (PES), audio packetized elementary stream (PES), and program clock reference (PCR). Indexing circuitry stores the video PES and the audio PES in a buffer, locates a presentation time stamp (PTS) in the video PES and stores that PTS in the buffer, locates a start of each group of pictures (GOP) in the video PES and stores those locations in the buffer, and locates a PTS in the audio PES and stores that PTS in the buffer. Control circuitry empties the buffer of an oldest GOP in the video PES if the PCR is greater than the PTS of a second oldest GOP stored in the buffer, and empties the buffer of each PES packet of the audio PES that has a PTS that is less than the PTS of the oldest GOP stored.

Abstract: A low-voltage-differential-signaling (LVDS) fault detector includes first and second LVDS lines, and a window comparator provides a first output indicating whether a difference between voltages at the first and second LVDS lines is greater than a threshold voltage, and a second output indicating whether a difference between the voltages at the second and first LVDS lines is greater than the threshold voltage. A charge circuit charges a capacitive node when either the first or second output is at a logic low, and discharges the capacitive node when neither the first nor second output is at a logic low. A Schmitt trigger generates a fault flag if charge on the capacitive node falls to a threshold.
