  • Patent number: 9379882
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to use of out-of-band (OOB) channels for the transport of network-synchronization signals and network control information. These OOB channels transport synchronization and control channels over low-frequency bands outside of the frequency bands used for the data channels. Locating expensive network-synchronization functions in the optical network unit (ONU) and sharing the derived synchronization signals among multiple downstream customer premises equipment (CPE) devices results in cost savings and provides a means for maintaining a continuous, end-to-end synchronization reference, even during periods when the data channels on the copper network segment are in an energy-efficiency mode (e.g., a low-power and/or sleep mode).

  • Patent number: 9378779
    Abstract: A dual-rail memory circuit having a sleep generation circuit configured to prevent undesired currents from being generated during power-up and while transitioning power states. When a dual-rail memory circuit is powering-up or exiting from a sleep mode, the ramping up of various supply voltage nodes may occur at different rates. Thus, in a dual-rail memory circuit, a first voltage rail may be at voltage before a second voltage rail. Such a transient state of operation may lead to current spikes that unnecessarily draw power and introduce undesired inefficiency. An internal sleep signal generation circuit in a dual-rail memory circuit may be used to precisely control an internal sleep signal such that the transition from off or sleep mode to operating mode is set to assure that the supply voltage nodes are close enough to the at-voltage operating level before releasing the sleep mode.
