Patent number: 9154285Abstract: Data communications are effected over one or more network branches to ensure appropriate receipt of data at different devices on the network. In accordance with an example embodiment, time-based communications are effected for a plurality of different network devices, at least two of which are connected to a common wired network link, with each network device being assigned to communicate during different time slots within a communication cycle. Each communication received on the common wired network link is assessed as being error-indicative or not error-indicative. In response to a received communication on the common wired network link being assessed as being error-indicative, the common wired network link is operated to corrupt data received on the branch, such as by driving the branch during a time slot in which the error-indicative communication is received, therein ensuring that other network devices disregard the data received during that time slot.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2014Date of Patent: October 6, 2015Assignee: NXP B.V.Inventors: Abhijit Kumar Deb, Hubertus Gerardus Hendrikus Vermeulen, Sujan Pandey

Patent number: 9135385Abstract: As consistent with one or more embodiments, electronic circuitry is characterized to provide an indication of susceptibility of the circuitry to error. As consistent with one or more embodiments, bits corresponding to a circuit component of a circuit design are evaluated using a software program that characterizes a hardware description language representing the circuit components and their interconnectivity. A noise power value is calculated for each bit, and bits are identified as being susceptible to data error based upon the noise power value and a signal-to-noise (SNR) ratio reference value. A characterization of the circuit components (e.g., a quality factor) is provided based upon a number of bits susceptible to data errors.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2013Date of Patent: September 15, 2015Assignee: NXP B.V.Inventors: Sujan Pandey, Abhijit Kumar Deb, Hubertus Gerardus Hendrikus Vermeulen
