  • Patent number: 7545614
    Abstract: Disclosed is an electrostatic discharge device, typically referred to as a power clamping circuit, for minimizing the effects of an initial ESD event as well as providing protection against subsequent ESD events. The power clamp is left fully turned on during and after an ESD event. Subsequent ESD events are those ESD events occurring shortly after an initial ESD event. By using a blocking device such as a diode, the power clamping circuit is maintained in a strong “on” state that fully discharges the initial ESD event and allows for a more rapid response to subsequent ESD events.

  • Publication number: 20050021894
    Abstract: A method and system are described for sharing a plurality of interrupt inputs associated with a processor among a plurality of interrupt sources. Each of the plurality of interrupt sources is mapped to each of the plurality of interrupt inputs. Interrupt requests from each of the plurality of interrupt sources to one or more of the plurality of interrupt inputs are selectively enabled, e.g., via control bits. The control bits are preferably dynamically modifiable according to user preferences.

  • Patent number: 4710934
    Abstract: A Random Access Memory with error detection/correction capability includes an information array (10) for storage of a collective data word in a single row thereof and a parity array (12) for storage of corresponding parity information in a single row thereof. A single row of the information array (10) and the parity array (12) are accessed and input to an error correct circuit (54). The collective data and parity information are also input to an error syndrome/parity generator (48), the output of which is input to the error correct circuit (54) to correct bits that are in error. A latch (72) is provided for latching the corrected information therein to allow new data to be written therein. The output of the latch (72) is multiplexed into the error syndrome/parity generator (48) which is configurable as a parity generator to generate new parity information for a write operation. The new collective data and parity information in the write mode are stored in arrays (10) and (12).

  • Patent number: 4689792
    Abstract: A self testing ROM includes an information array (10) for storing data therein and a parity array (12) for storing associated parity information for each of the data words. The data is accessed and multiplexed for input to a block code error detect circuit (30) for detecting the error and outputting an error syndrome on a bus (32). The error syndrome is input to an error correct circuit (34) for correction of the accessed data during a first pass through the error detect circuit (30). This corrected data is then input to latches (39) and (41). The latched data is then input back to the block code error detect circuit (30) during a second pass to determine if the data was corrected. If not, this indicates that there were too many errors to be corrected by the error detection algorithm. This is detected with a system error detect circuit (43) during the second pass through the block code error detect circuit (30).
