Apparatus and methods for real-time routing of received frames in a split-path architecture storage controller. In one exemplary embodiment, a split-path storage controller comprises a soft-path I/O processor for processing of any received frames and comprises a fast-path I/O processor for efficient processing of common read and write command. A content parsing circuit of the storage controller parses each frame substantially concurrent with reception of the frame and selects an I/O processor for processing of an initial frame and subsequent related frames. Received frames are then routed concurrently as they are received for processing by the selected I/O processor of the multiple I/O processors of the split-path storage controller.

There is a need to cause a delay to occur less frequently than the related art during processing of an input signal in need of relatively fast processing. In a semiconductor device, a conversion portion includes first channels and second channels and A/D converts a signal input to a selected channel. A signal input to the first channel requires faster processing than a signal input to the second channel. The conversion portion receives a scan conversion instruction from a central processing unit, sequentially selects the input channels in a specified selection order, and successively performs A/D conversion. In this case, the conversion portion notifies a peripheral circuit of completion of A/D conversion after completion of A/D conversion on signals input to the first channels and before completion of A/D conversion on input signals input to all input channels.

Aspects relate to methods and systems for processing requests and sending data in a bus architecture. At least one master device is connected to at least two slave devices via a bus. An allocator allocates incoming requests from the master device to a target slave device. Incoming requests are buffered for the respective slave device. The master device sends a read request for a first slave device to the bus; the allocator generates a current-state indicator associated with the read request. The allocator generates a priority indicator associated with the read request. If the initial value of the current-state indicator equals the value of the priority indicator, the read request is processed; or if the initial value of the current-state indicator does not equal the value of priority indicator, the read request is deferred until a later time.

In a memory system in which a system clock signal is forwarded from the memory controller to multiple memory devices, the phase of the system clock signal forwarded to the slower memory device is advanced relative to the system clock signal forwarded to the faster memory device by a phase corresponding to the skew on the data links corresponding to the memory devices. This causes the state machine of the slower memory device to change states and advance earlier than the state machine in the faster memory device, and as a result, the data read from both the slower memory device and the faster memory device are unskewed on the data links between the memory controller and the memory devices.

A clock divider is provided that is configured to divide a high speed input clock signal by an odd, even or fractional divide ratio. The input clock may have a clock cycle frequency of 1 GHz or higher, for example. The input clock signal is divided to produce an output clock signal by first receiving a divide factor value F representative of a divide ratio N, wherein the N may be an odd or an even integer. A fractional indicator indicates the divide ratio is N.5 when the fractional indicator is one and indicates the divide ratio is N when the fractional indicator is zero. F is set to 2(N.5)/2 for a fractional divide ratio and F is set to N/2 for an integer divide ratio. A count indicator is asserted every N/2 input clock cycles when N is even. The count indicator is asserted alternately N/2 input clock cycles and then 1+N/2 input clock cycles when N is odd. One period of an output clock signal is synthesized in response to each assertion of the count indicator when the fractional indicator indicates the divide ratio is N.5. One period of the output clock signal is synthesized in response to two assertions of the count indicator when the fractional indicator indicates the divide ratio is an integer.

Memory power tokens

Номер: US20130326185A1
Автор: Douglas Burger, Gabriel H. Loh, Karin Strauss, Timothy Sherwood
Принадлежит: Microsoft Corp

Techniques are described for controlling availability of memory. As memory write operations are processed, the contents of memory targeted by the write operations are read and compared to the data to be written. The availability of the memory for subsequent write operations is controlled based on the outcomes of the comparing. How many concurrent write operations are being executed may vary according to the comparing. In one implementation, a pool of tokens is maintained based on the comparing. The tokens represent units of power. When write operations require more power, for example when they will alter the values of more cells in PCM memory, they draw (and eventually return) more tokens. The token pool can act as a memory-availability mechanism in that tokens must be obtained for a write operation to be executed. When and how many tokens are reserved or recycled can vary according to implementation.

A touch I/O device controller may operate in an idle state, a wait for finger on state, and a finger on state. The finger on state may include a hold sub-state, a capture sub-state, a navigation sub-state, and a pre-capture sub-state. The controller may switch states and/or sub-states based on commands received from its host or based on a sub-state variable set by the host. When the controller detects a finger of a user and enters the finger on state, the touch I/O device may enter a particular sub-state based on the sub-state variable. Further, when a fingerprint is captured in capture sub-state, the controller may switch sub-states based on the value of the sub-state variable. In various implementations, the host may provide one or more APIs that may be utilized by applications to directly influence the controller and/or request that the host do so. 1.
