  • Publication number: 20230412211
    Abstract: At least some aspects of the present disclosure provide for a method. In some examples, the method includes receiving 2-line data in an embedded Universal Serial Bus (eUSB) format. The method further includes encoding the 2-line data into a single signal. The single signal comprises a first symbol corresponding to a first state change of the 2-line data and a second symbol corresponding to a second state change of the 2-line data.

  • Publication number: 20030126533
    Abstract: A system is provided for independently testing a circuit module embedded in a larger integrated circuit, such as a system of a chip. The system uses essentially the circuit board level JTAG standard originally created to test chips mounted on a circuit board. The system provides a scan ring for serially scanning data to the inputs of the circuit module and for serially scanning out output from the circuit module. A test access port provides communications and control from an off-chip test interface to the scan rings.

  • Publication number: 20020019730
    Abstract: The invention provides a knowledge management system particularly suited for use in the integrated circuit design environment. The system allows administrators to define standardized component types. Instantiated components versions comprise “deliverables” and “attributes.” Deliverables comprise a file or directory of files or groups of files or directories that perform a common function and are characterized by the system in a standardized manner. Attributes comprise metadata describe the component version. By the abstraction of design files into deliverables, the systems can work with design files originating from any source and having different structures and still make those design files available by other designers in a uniform manner for efficient reuse of pre-qualified components. Tasks in the design flow can be tracked in the system. The system may also include a communications application, an issue tracking application, and an audit trail application.
