    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods and apparatus for decoding codes that can be described using bipartite graphs having interconnected bit nodes and check nodes.SOLUTION: A magnitude of a check-to-bit node message from a check node (j) to a bit node (i) is computed based on a sum of transformed magnitudes of bit-to-check node messages for a plurality of bit nodes connected to the check node (j), excluding the transformed magnitude of a bit-to-check node message for the bit node (i) and the check node (j). A positive/negative sign of the check-to-bit node message from the check node (j) to the bit node (i) may also be computed by multiplying a product Sof the positive/negative sign of the bit-to-check node message by the positive/negative sign of the bit-to-check node message for the bit node (i) and the check node (j).

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a communication protocol and serial interface having an approximately fixed barrier clock and capable of adapting to a variety of communication rates.SOLUTION: The interface employs a variable-length frame that may be expanded or reduced to obtain a desired communication rate, even though a barrier clock rate is kept approximately constant. A method for designing an agile barrier interface is also provided. In particular, the barrier clock rate is preferably selected to be an approximately common multiple of the various communication rates that the barrier interface must handle. A frame length corresponding to each communication rate is obtained by dividing the barrier clock rate by ΣΔ rate. Thus, there is provided an agile communication circuit capable of communicating data through a serial interface at a variety of data rates and at an approximately fixed interface clock rate.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide electrostatic discharge protection for a multi-chip module of an integrated circuit.SOLUTION: An integrated circuit is provided which includes I/O circuitry that may or may not be protected from ESD damage. The protection from ESD damage may be selectively deactivated or activated or may not be present at all in one or more of the I/O circuits. In use, the integrated circuit is coupled to another integrated circuit to form a multi-chip module where the ESD protection for the I/O circuitry between the modules is deactivated or not present. This is advantageous because the likelihood of ESD damage to this I/O circuitry is reduced once the multi-chip module is formed. It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary, but are not restrictive, of the invention.

A section of the dielectric material adjacent an interior of the recess is converted to silicon nitride. The refractory metal is then conformed deposited along the recess sidewalls. A seed layer is then deposited over the refractory metal film, and a conductive metal is then deposited within the recess. The device is then polished to remove excess metal in the outside of the recess and planarize the device.
