  • Publication number: 20240103599
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for programming power management circuits in a system are described. An apparatus may include a set of one or more power management circuits configured to provide one or more operating voltages for the apparatus. The apparatus may also include an interface coupled with a controller via a bus. The apparatus may include a first switching circuit configured to isolate the bus from the controller and to couple the bus with a second switching circuit. The second switching circuit may be configured to isolate the set of one or more power management circuits from the controller and to couple the set of one or more power management circuits with the first switching circuit.

  • Publication number: 20210358526
    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for routing and transmitting signals in an electronic device are described. Various signal paths may be routed to avoid or limit reference transitions or transitions between layers of a structure of a device (e.g., printed circuit board (PCB)). In a memory module, for example, different data inputs/outputs (e.g., DQs) may be routed through different layers of a PCB according to their relative location to one another. For instance, DQs associated with even bits of a byte may be routed on one layer of a PCB near one ground plane, and DQs associated with odd bits of the byte may be routed on a different layer of the PCB near another ground plane.

Each of the DQs may be subject to a single reference layer change, which may occur at or near a DRAM of a memory module (e.g., in the DRAM ball grid array (BGA) area).

  • Patent number: 8391693
    Abstract: An optical disk for recording stereoscopic videos and high-quality video signals and a system for reproducing the videos and signals from the optical disk are made compatible with the conventional video reproducing system. A reproducing device which is used for reproducing stereoscopic videos and high-quality videos obtains stereoscopic video or high-quality videos by reproducing both first and second interleaved blocks on the optical disk in which first and second video signals are alternately recorded on the left and right sides by dividing the first and second video signals into frame groups of one GOP or more and a reproducing device which is not used for reproducing the stereoscopic videos and high-quality videos obtains ordinary videos by only reproducing either the first or second interleaved block by jumping tracks.
