  • Publication number: 20240348146
    Abstract: An isolated gate driver has a first portion in a first voltage domain and a second portion in a second voltage domain. The first and second portions are coupled by an isolation communication channel. The isolated gate driver transmits across the isolation communication channel a serial word containing first drive strength information and simultaneously transmits gate information with the serial word across the isolation communication channel. The gate information indicates a state of a gate signal for a transistor coupled to the second portion of the isolated gate driver. A demodulator circuit demodulates a signal containing the gate information and the drive strength information transmitted across the isolation communication channel in the serial word. A gate signal output circuit coupled to the demodulator circuit supplies the gate signal based on the gate information with a drive strength of the gate signal being based on the drive strength information.

  • Publication number: 20240329333
    Abstract: Multi-die packages including both photonic and electric integrated circuit (IC) die interconnected to each other through a routing structure built-up on a glass substrate. A glass preform comprising an optical waveguide may also be attached to the routing structure. A plurality of electrical IC (EIC) die may be arrayed over the routing structure along with a plurality of photonic IC (PIC). Each PIC may be coupled to an optical waveguide within the glass preform. Conductive vias may extend through the glass substrate and be further coupled with a host substrate. The host substrate may comprise glass and an optical waveguide embedded within the glass. A vertical coupler may be attached to the host substrate to optically couple the host substrate to the optical waveguide within the glass preform of the multi-die package. Many of the multi-die packages may be arrayed over a routing structure on the host substrate.

  • Patent number: 12072888
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include techniques for cooperative memory management. In one embodiment, a database management system includes a memory manager for managing a memory buffer. The memory buffer is configured to allocate memory to table data and temporary data dynamically. In some embodiments, table data memory allocations are reduced and temporary data memory allocations are increased to process queries. Temporary data memory allocations may be increased to store temporary data associated with one or more portions of a query. The memory buffer reallocates table data memory allocations and temporary data memory allocations as needed to more efficiently use available memory.
