  • Implementing crossbars and barrel shifters using multiplier-accumulator blocks
    Patent number: 7343388
    Abstract: An interface receiver, which is part of an interface that allows the transfer of data between two incompatible I/O standards, includes a crossbar and a barrel shifter that can be implemented using multiplier-accumulator blocks. The crossbar reorders an incoming burst of data and writes the data into a larger data column where the data is barrel-shifted using multiplier-accumulator blocks and transferred out of the receiver when an end-of-packet is detected or the shifted data column as seen from outside the interface receiver is full.

  • Logic generation for multiple memory functions
    Patent number: 7131097
    Abstract: Methods are provided for helping to automate the design of electronic circuitry in which multiple memory functions are provided by common physical memory. Interactive computer screens prompt the user to enter information about the multiple memory functions that the user desires. The data thus entered by the user is then reformatted for use as specific values of parameters in a parameterized function that can provide the required circuit design when its parameters are thus supplied with specific values.
