Abstract: An information handling system includes a processor with an instruction issue queue (IQ) that may perform age tracking operations. The issue queue IQ maintains or stores instructions that may issue out-of-order in an internal data store (IDS). The IDS organizes instructions in a queue position (QPOS) addressing arrangement. An age matrix of the IQ maintains a record of relative instruction aging for those instructions within the IDS. The age matrix updates latches or other memory cell data to reflect the changes in IDS instruction ages during a dispatch operation into the IQ. During dispatch of one or more instructions, the age matrix may update only those latches that require data change to reflect changing IDS instruction ages. The age matrix employs row and column data and clock controls to individually update those latches requiring update.

Abstract: A continuous-time sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter includes a first integrator stage to integrate a difference between a first differential signal derived from a differential analog input signal and a second differential signal derived from a quantized output signal, a quantizer and a low pass filter. The first integrator stage has a differential operational amplifier, first, second, third, and fourth input resistors, and a first pair of integrating capacitors. The differential analog input signal is received at first and second input nodes of the converter. The first and third input resistors are coupled in series between the first input node and a first input of the operational amplifier. The second and fourth input resistors are coupled in series between the second input node and a second input of the operational amplifier. The first and second input resistors are coupled to the third and fourth input resistors, respectively.

Abstract: A method for fabricating light emitting diode (LED) chips comprising providing a plurality of LEDs, typically on a wafer, and coating the LEDs with a conversion material so that at least some light from the LEDs passes through the conversion material and is converted. The light emission from the LED chips comprises light from the conversion material, typically in combination with LED light. The emission characteristics of at least some of the LED chips is measured and at least some of the conversion material over the LEDs is removed to alter the emission characteristics of the LED chips. The invention is particularly applicable to fabricating LED chips on a wafer where the LED chips have light emission characteristics that are within a range of target emission characteristics. This target range can fall within an emission region on a CIE curve to reduce the need for binning of the LEDs from the wafer.
