  • Publication number: 20210028922
    Abstract: A blockchain with packet contents comprised of upstream links for guaranteed provenance of workflow, downstream links for post token generation dynamic content inclusion, and private and public date container content. A dynamic logic processor comprised of embedded FPGA IP and application processor able to accept application software and soft hardware programs with key HASH codes for authenticating provenance of hardware and programs through the use of a development and supply flow blockchain.

  • Publication number: 20200117843
    Abstract: Methods and systems for SDA of mixed signal electronic circuitry including embedded software designs for creating ASICs, sub-systems, and SoCs. The SDA system described extends IP reuse beyond the circuit and stand-alone verification capabilities that are common practice today which limit the benefits of reuse. By solving the integration problem first in a loosely coupled manner, complex mixed signal SoC devices may achieve higher levels of IP reuse with push button ease through the cloud, significantly improving time to market, design resource limitations, risks for first time silicon success, and the tasks of managing business multiple relationships of IP providers. SDA generated designs use a multi-agent method of operation, creating powerful and flexible designs that provide both NOC (Network on a Chip) and NBC (Network Beyond the Chip) for distributed system operation, and enhanced non-intrusive in-system monitoring for mission critical and safety related applications.

  • Patent number: 8456344
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for generating a target frequency having an over-sampled data rate using a system clock having a different frequency are disclosed. In one aspect of the present disclosure, the circuit includes, a digital phase locked loop coupled to the system clock. The digital phase locked loop including an oscillator output and an oscillator input. The circuit further comprises an extra pulse eliminator coupled to the oscillator output. The extra pulse eliminator includes an extra pulse eliminator output. One or more frequency dividers may be coupled to an extra pulse eliminator output.
