Patent number: 9967997Abstract: Server equipment having a fool-proof structure includes a casing and a tray. The casing includes a storage unit area, a plurality of motherboard areas, a back plate, insertion slots and a fool-proof device. The fool-proof device selectively has an engagement member at a first height or an engagement member at a second height. The tray includes a motherboard, a connection card and a protection housing. When the protection housing is in contact with the engagement member at the first height, the connection card is correspondingly inserted into the insertion slot. When the protection housing is in contact with the engagement member at the second height, the connection card is spaced from the insertion slot by a distance. Accordingly, the connection card is prevented from being inserted to a wrong insertion slot, so damage to the connection card is avoided.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2017Date of Patent: May 8, 2018Assignee: SUPER MICRO COMPUTER INC.Inventors: William Shen, Te-Chang Lin, Richard S.

Patent number: 7640461Abstract: A clock pulse controller includes a test clock pulse input for receiving test clock pulses. A scan enable input receives a scan enable signal having a first state and a second state. A trigger pulse input receives a trigger pulse. A clock pulse output generates a launch clock pulse and a capture clock pulse from the test clock pulses immediately after receiving a predetermined number of the test clock pulses immediately following the trigger pulse. A delayed scan enable output generates a delayed scan enable signal that transitions from the first state to the second state between a leading edge of the launch clock pulse and a leading edge of the capture clock pulse.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2007Date of Patent: December 29, 2009Assignee: LSI Logic CorporationInventors: Thai-Minh Nguyen, William Shen, David Vinke, Christopher Coleman

Patent number: 7444560Abstract: A test clocking scheme that separates the clock driving the functional logic and the memory from the clock driving the test logic and the memory. In other words, the test clocking scheme separates the memory functional clock from the memory test clock into two clock paths. The test clocking scheme provides for the ability to separately shut off either the memory functional clock source or the memory test clock source, provides that less power is required during production testing, and provides that simulation time is reduced during design verification because the functional logic is not clocked.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2004Date of Patent: October 28, 2008Assignee: LSI CorporationInventors: Thai M.
