Abstract: A cooling plate assembly and electronic device having the same are provided which utilize active and passive cooling devices for improved thermal management of one or more chip package assemblies included in the electronic device. In one example, a cooling plate assembly is provided that includes a cooling plate having a first surface and an opposing second surface, a first active cooling device coupled to the first surface of the cooling plate, and a first passive cooling device coupled to the second surface of the cooling plate.

Abstract: A programmable logic device for transferring JTAG scan data to a target device is disclosed. The programmable logic device includes a JTAG logic that communicates with a JTAG scan chain and interprets user-defined instructions received from the JTAG scan chain to generate control signals used by a target device interface and the target device interface, which transmits output data to a target device and receives input data from the target device in response to the control signals.

Abstract: A data processing apparatus for processing floating point instructions is responsive to a floating point instruction to apply a floating point operation to a number of operands to produce a final result, result data being generated during a predetermined pipelined stage with further processing then being performed on the result data in one or more subsequent pipelined stages to generate the final result. Exception determination logic determines whether an exception may occur during application of the floating point operation to the operands, and to prevent the execution unit applying the floating point operation to those operands if it is determined that an exception may occur. The exception determination logic is arranged to use at least some of the predetermined control data to compensate for differences between the forwarded result data and the final result relevant when determining whether an exception may occur when processing the second floating point instruction.
