  • Differential signaling power management
    Patent number: 6845131
    Abstract: For a low voltage differential signalling technology to achieve more and faster processing, minimizing power consumption is important. A method of power management is provided whereby the transmitter circuitry is powered down at appropriate times and a minimum number of active links is maintained to maintain the integrity of the state of the logic in the receiver circuitry.

  • Decimating filter
    Publication number: 20040103133
    Abstract: If there are N inputs into a decimate-by-M filter, a plurality (N/M) of decimate-by-N sub-filters is configured in parallel. Each decimation sub-filter outputs one sample, resulting in an aggregate of (N/M) output samples per processing cycle. The inputs to each sub-filter should be out of phase by M samples.
