Publication number: 20180011813Abstract: In accordance with embodiments disclosed herein, there is provided systems and methods for a serial mid-speed interface. A first component includes a phase-locked loop (PLL) to receive an input clock signal and to output an output signal, an interface controller including a clock-management state machine, and a transmitter. The interface controller is to receive the input clock signal, receive the output signal from the PLL, and generate a speed-switch packet. The transmitter is to transmit a first plurality of packets to a second component at a clock rate based on the clock signal via a mid-speed interface, transmit the speed-switch packet to the second component, and transmit a second plurality of packets to the second component at a PLL rate based on the output signal, where the PLL rate is greater than the clock rate.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 6, 2016Publication date: January 11, 2018Inventors: Eytan Mann, Gilad Nahor, Guy Kaminitz

Patent number: 6542470Abstract: A system for appending data to a packet whereby the original CRC calculated by the transmitting station is not modified and is retained in order to determine the occurrence of transmission errors at the receiver. The invention is applicable in communication systems whereby the data to be appended to the packet comprises a fixed length. The invention appends the data in the form of a tag to the tail of the packet after the original CRC and, in addition, determines and appends a tag CRC to the tail of the packet following the tag data. The tag CRC has a value such that the CRC machine in the receiver generates a constant CRC value even though the packet length was increased. A tag CRC is generated that when appended to the packet produces the same result as if the packet was processed through the CRC machine without any data appended.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 1999Date of Patent: April 1, 2003Assignee: 3Com CorporationInventors: Yoav Honig, Ari Halpern, Golan Schzukin, Eytan Mann

Patent number: 6295534Abstract: An apparatus for maintaining an ordered list which can store any type and number of data items. The ordered list can be implemented in hardware so as to enable fast, efficient maintenance of an ordered list of data. The data to be stored in the list is stored as a plurality of data cells each comprising any number of bits. The ordered list permits data to be read from, written to and deleted from the list. Data is written to the list using a push operation and data is deleted from the listing using a pop operation. A controller, processor or other source, provides the cell address information for each read, push and pop operation. The ordered list comprises a plurality of index units with each index unit comprising a 3 to 1 multiplexor whose output is connected to a data cell comprising a register or suitable data storage device. The mux selects data to its output from either (1) input cell data (2) the data cell in the previous index unit or (3) the data cell in the next index unit.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 1998Date of Patent: September 25, 2001Assignee: 3Com CorporationInventor: Eytan Mann
