Abstract:
Peripheral functions of an integrated circuit device may be pooled and dynamically mapped to available external input-output connections of the integrated circuit device by using a set of configuration registers. To provide system robustness, the configuration registers may implement various levels of write protection, error correction and monitoring circuitry. One or more peripheral output functions may be mapped to one or more external output connections. Not more than one output function may be active at the same time on the same output connection. Outputs and inputs may be mapped to the same external input-output connection with or without the output being controllable for placement into an inactive state, e.g., high impedance or open collector. When the input is required to receive external data over the external input-output connection, the output may be placed into the inactive state.
Abstract:
A pulse width modulation (PWM) generator having asynchronous updating of its PWM duty cycle and/or period values allows immediate correction for the new PWM duty cycle and/or period values instead of waiting until the end of a PWM period to accept the new duty cycle and/or period values. This reduces the latency in a control loop when responding to changing system status, e.g., changes in PWM duty cycle. Also the PWM duty cycle is prevented from "running away" (e.g., missing a PWM cycle) if the PWM duty cycle timer/counter has advanced beyond an updated duty-cycle maximum value.
Abstract:
In einer eingebetteten Vorrichtung mit einer Vielzahl von Prozessorkernen weist jeder Kern einen statischen Direktzugriffsspeicher (SRAM), einen mit dem SRAM verbundenen integrierten Selbsttest-Controller (MBIST), einen mit dem MBIST-Controller gekoppelten MBIST-Zugriffsanschluss, eine MBIST-Finite-State-Maschine (FSM), die über einen ersten Multiplexer mit dem MBIST-Zugriffsanschluss verbunden ist, und eine JTAG-Schnittstelle auf, die über den Multiplexer jedes Prozessorkerns mit den MBIST-Zugriffsanschlüssen jedes Prozessorkerns verbunden ist.
