Patent number: 7565632Abstract: A behavioral synthesis system which synthesizes behavior without inline expansion of a callee function, even one which has a pointer as an argument during the synthesis of a caller function. There is also a language analyzer that analyzes the behavior level description for conversion into an internal representation for behavioral synthesis and one which represents a correspondence relationship between a pointer variable and a circuit entity. There is also a pointer-terminal converter that converts a pointer into a set of a terminal and condition in the internal representation generated by the language analyzer. Further, there is a behavioral synthesizer that processes the internal representation from which the pointer variable has been removed by the pointer terminal converter to generate a circuit description at low abstractness.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2006Date of Patent: July 21, 2009Assignee: NEC CorporationInventor: Shinichi Noda

Patent number: 6737905Abstract: The clamp circuit clamps an input voltage at prescribed higher and lower clamp voltages which are stabilized under a temperature fluctuation. Transistors Q12 and Q14 are switched on in their linear region. In a lower voltage clamp circuit 18, an Vin detecting circuit 20 outputs Va1 by level-shifting Vin by Q13 and voltage-divides by series resistance circuit 23 the level-shifted Vin, while a reference voltage generating circuit 21 outputs Vr1 by level-shifting 0 V by Q15 and voltage-divides by series resistance circuit 25 the level-shifted voltage. Q11 is switched on, when a comparator 22 determines that Va1 descends and goes across Vr1. Here, Q12 is of the same characteristics as Q14, while Q13is of the same characteristics as Q15. Further, the resistance of the circuits 23 is the same as that of the circuit 25. The higher voltage clamp circuit 19 is similar to the circuit 18.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2003Date of Patent: May 18, 2004Assignee: Denso CorporationInventors: Shinichi Noda, Hideaki Ishihara, Akira Suzuki
