Abstract: Some embodiments of the present disclosure relates to a crystalline passivation layer for effectively passivating III-N surfaces. Surface passivation of HEMTs reduces or eliminates the surface effects that can otherwise degrade device performance. The crystalline passivation layer reduces the degrading effects of surface traps and provides a good interface between a III-nitride surface and an insulator (e.g., gate dielectric formed over the passivation layer).

Abstract: A retail fixture includes a platform having a plurality of openings and a cover having at least one slot where the cover is positioned over the platform such that each of the at least one slots of the cover is aligned with an opening of the platform. A set of spaced-apart nubs extends along at least one opening. A bracket extends across the plurality of openings and is mounted to a bottom surface of the platform. The bracket has channels aligned with the openings. Each channel has a first width proximate the bottom surface and a second width distal from the bottom surface wherein the second width is wider than the first width.

Abstract: A memory device includes a voltage regulator, whose output provides a voltage supply for various other components of the memory device, including a command user interface. The memory device is placed into an ultra-deep power-down mode by providing to the memory device a software command, which causes the output of the voltage regulator to be disabled. To bring the memory device out of the ultra-deep power-down mode, a chip select signal is provided to the memory device, which includes a wake-up circuit that remains powered on even when the memory device is in the ultra-deep power-down mode. Receipt of the chip select signal while the memory device is in the ultra-deep power-down mode causes the output of the voltage regulator to be enabled, thereby providing power to the components that were completely powered down.

A first selectable item corresponding to a single data item and a second selectable corresponding to multiple data items may be arranged along the linear scale. When the second selectable item is selected, the interface may be modified to include a second portion of the linear scale having second upper and lower bounds and the multiple data items corresponding to the second selectable item.

Abstract: A processor configured to provide instructions of a first instruction type to a first execution unit, and a second execution queue configured to provide instructions of a second instruction type to a second execution unit. A first instruction of the second instruction type is received. The first instruction is decoded by the decode/issue unit to determine operands of the first instruction. The operands of the first instruction are determined to include a dependency on a second instruction of the first instruction type stored in a first entry of the first execution queue. The first instruction is stored in a first entry of the second execution queue. A synchronization indicator corresponding to the first instruction in a second entry of the first execution queue is set immediately adjacent the first entry of the first execution queue, which indicates that the first instruction is stored in another execution queue.
