  • Automatic Clock and Data Alignment
    Publication number: 20090138742
    Abstract: A circuit is described for automatically adjusting a phase of an input register load clock to be synchronized with transitions of data bits forming an n-bit word. The circuit detects the first transition of a data bit in the n-bit word. The circuit then time-shifts the input clock, to generate a shifted clock, so that a triggering edge of the shifted clock occurs sometime after generation of the transition detect signal, such as in the middle third of a data cycle. Shifting the input clock may be performed by multiplying the input clock to generate a plurality of sub-clock cycles and selecting one of the sub-clock cycles as the start of the shifted clock cycle. The parallel data are applied to inputs of input registers clocked using the shifted clock as the load clock. Thus, the load clock occurs at an optimum time near the middle of a data cycle.

  • System and method for using a temporary electronic serial number for over-the-air activation of a mobile device
    Patent number: 7539514
    Abstract: A system and method for activating a subscriber identification module (SIM) based mobile device in a PCS/ANSI type wireless network. The method comprises pre-programming the SIM card of the mobile device with temporary activation identifiers, such as an international mobile station identity (IMSI) and/or a mobile identification number (MIN), and a temporary electronic serial number. The temporary electronic serial number, rather than the mobile device actual electronic serial number, is used to identify the mobile device during registration and activation. The network identifies the temporary electronic serial number associated with the SIM vendor and invokes an over-the-air activation procedure especially for the SIM card mobile devices. A SIM-over-the-air-activation processor is notified to perform the activation for that mobile device on the PCS wireless network.
