Patent number: 7733150Abstract: Methods and apparatus for distributing a clock signal to a digital circuit provide for: producing a clock signal; and delaying, advanced, or leaving the clock signal unchanged to produce an output clock signal as a function of a control signal, wherein an amount of delay or advancement between the clock signal and the output clock signal (phase difference) is a function of time variant changes in a magnitude of a power supply voltage to the digital circuit.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2008Date of Patent: June 8, 2010Assignee: Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.Inventor: Chiaki Takano

Patent number: 7676683Abstract: Processors arranged in a multi-processor configuration for substantially parallel operations receive their initialization data in order to start operations, such as graphics computations, real-time multimedia streaming, etc. Due to a change in the processing load, one or more processors might be deactivated. Subsequently, the load increases to such a level that requires all or some of the deactivated processors to be active again. In this case, the boot-up process of the entire system is not carried out as it would be time-consuming and wasteful; instead, responsive to a control signal only those processors that were previously in inactive mode are re-initialized by selecting a configuration data supplied by another processor, controller or any other intelligent programmable device.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2006Date of Patent: March 9, 2010Assignee: Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.Inventors: Atsushi Tsuji, Chiaki Takano, Atsuo Mangyo, Masaaki Nozaki, Shunsaku Tokito, Hiroaki Terakawa
