Abstract: In some embodiments related to a smart edge detector, the smart edge detector uses a second clock in a receiver domain (e.g., clock CLK_D2) to trigger a first flip-flop having a first clock in a transmitter domain (e.g., clock CLK_D1) as input data for the first flip-flop. The clock CLK_D2 through a delay cell also triggers a second flip-flop having the same clock CLK_D1 as input data for the second flip-flop. Based on the output of the first flip-flop (e.g., output S1) and of the second flip-flop (e.g., output S2), the embodiments determine whether the rising and or falling edge of clock CLK_D2 should be used for triggering in a transmitting and receiving application. The embodiments are applicable in both situations where the rising edge or falling edge of clock CLK_D1 is used as a triggering edge. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

Abstract: Circuit and method for an adaptive elastic buffer for receiving data including timing signals. Received data is recovered and stored in the adaptive elastic buffer, and a recovery clock pointer is increased to identify the next buffer location for stuffing received data, responsive to a controller. When a data fetch enable condition occurs, the controller causes a receiver circuit to fetch the data stored at a location identified by a system clock pointer. Underflow and overflow conditions are detected and the controller adapts the effective elastic buffer depth to compensate for these conditions. A buffer of M/2 physical locations is adaptively operated to provide a data buffer of M virtual locations. A method of buffering received data with a buffer having M/2 physical locations so as to provide the benefit of a buffer with M virtual locations is disclosed.

Abstract: A clock data recovery comprises a phase detector, a phase interpolator, an initial phase detector, and an initial phase decoder. The phase detector receives an incoming data stream and an interpolated clock signal and output an early/late value indicating timing relationship between the incoming data stream and the interpolated clock signal. The phase interpolator receives the early/late signal and at least one reference clock signal and generate an interpolated clock signal considering the early/late value and the at least one reference clock signal. The initial phase detector receives the incoming data stream and output a first data indicating a phase of the incoming data stream. The initial phase decoder receives data indicating a phase of the incoming data stream and select the at least one reference clock signal from a plurality of clock signals considering the data indicating a phase of the incoming data stream.

Abstract: A packaged image sensor assembly utilizes a spacer paste to control the height of a transparent window above an image sensor die to provide safe wire bond clearance. A dam structure is used to control the height of the transparent window. The dam may be formed either entirely from spacer paste or by depositing the spacer paste on an underlying patterned mesa. An additional encapsulant is provided outside of the dam to encapsulate wirebonds and provide additional protection from moisture permeation.

Abstract: A binding device for a wheeled vehicle includes a drive mechanism including a shaft tube, a driven member secured to the shaft tube, at least one driving pawl mounted on the driven member, and a drive member rotatably mounted on the driven member and having an inner wall formed with a plurality of locking grooves engaged with the driving pawl. Thus, the drive member drives the shaft tube to rotate in one direction and performs an idle rotation in the opposite direction, so that the shaft tube is rotatable successively to wind the binding strap successively so as to tighten the cargo without having to remove the drive rod from the drive member, thereby facilitating a user winding the binding strap, and thereby saving the working time and energy.

Abstract: A new built-in self-test circuit device for testing an embedded memory array is achieved. The device comprises a pattern generator unit that executes a testing sequence to automatically write and read locations in an embedded memory. A comparison unit compares data read from the embedded memory and expected data provided by the pattern generator. An error signal is turned ON by the comparison unit when the data read does not match the data provided. An error release unit generates an error stop signal. The error stop signal is turned ON when the error signal is turned ON. The pattern generator unit testing sequence is stopped when the error stop signal is turned ON and is re-started when the error stop signal is turned OFF. The error stop signal is turned OFF when an external device asserts an error release signal.
