Patent number: 6377086Abstract: A fully-static dual-voltage sense circuit designed for a mixed-voltage system senses the power-rail voltage of other devices that the device is interfaced with, and achieves a low-power consumption level without software assistance when the sensing circuit is active, and protects low-voltage process devices in the circuit from possible high voltage damage at the interface. In a preferred embodiment, the present invention includes an integrated circuit having a dual-voltage sense circuit, the sense circuit including a sense circuit input node supplied with an input voltage Vin; a sense circuit power input node supplied with a power-supply voltage; and a sense circuit output node outputting a digital signal of a voltage level equal to or less than the voltage level of a low-voltage digital signal, regardless of the voltage level of the input voltage.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 1999Date of Patent: April 23, 2002Assignee: Agere Systems Guardian Corp.Inventors: Laurence E.

Patent number: 6282666Abstract: A computer peripheral device suitable for operation with a Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Bus or the like, has the ability to “wakeup” the bus from a cold state (e.g., D3cold) without the need to supply auxiliary power (e.g., 3.3 volts) to the entire device during the cold state. A modem in the preferred embodiment (although the invention is applicable to other peripheral devices), the device latches device status information from the main circuitry of the device (operating on 5 volts, for example) into a “keep alive” circuit connected to the auxiliary power supply upon the falling edge of a PCI reset signal (RST#). Additionally, the auxiliary power supply also powers a ring detect circuit for the detection of an incoming telephone call, which incoming call triggers a Power Management Event (PME#) signal for changing the state of the bus to an active state.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 1999Date of Patent: August 28, 2001Assignee: Agere Systems Guardian Corp.Inventors: Laurence Edward Bays, Richard Muscavage, Dennis A. Brooks, Xingdong Dai, Eric Wilcox

Patent number: 6184807Abstract: An encoder which includes a flip-flop; a first, second and third NAND gate; a first and second inverter; and a first and second delay cell. The first inverter couples the flip-flop with the first NAND gate. The first delay cell couples the first NAND gate with the third NAND gate. The second inverter couples the second delay cell with the second NAND gate. Further, the second NAND gate couples the second inverter with the third NAND gate. The third NAND gate of the encoder produces a glitch-free encoded signal.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 1998Date of Patent: February 6, 2001Assignee: Lucent Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Tony S. El-Kik, Dennis A. Brooks, Richard Muscavage
