    Abstract: An integrated circuit may include memory interface circuitry that interfaces with memory. The integrated circuit may include calibration circuitry and storage circuitry. The calibration circuitry may have a first configuration in which the calibration circuitry is formed from a first set of programmable logic regions that configure the calibration circuitry to generate and store calibration data at the storage circuitry. The calibration data may include strobe signal phase settings and read enable control signal timing settings. The calibration circuitry may have a second configuration in which the calibration circuitry is formed from a second set of programmable logic regions that configure the calibration circuitry to load the calibration data from the storage circuitry and to interface with the memory based on the calibration data. The calibration circuitry may occupy fewer programmable logic regions on the integrated circuit in the second configuration than in the first configuration.

    Abstract: Techniques to operate circuitry in an integrated circuit are provided. The circuitry may include a receiver circuit and one of the provided techniques includes receiving a data stream at the receiver circuit. The receiver circuit may include a detector circuit that is used to determine the data rate of the received data stream. A controller block in the receiver circuit may accordingly configure a deserializer circuit in the receiver circuit based on the data rate of the received data stream. The circuitry may further include a transmitter circuit for transmitting data streams. The transmitter circuit may be configured during runtime based on the data rate of a data stream that is being transmitted. In some instances, irrespective of the data rate of the data stream being transmitted, a constant reference clock may be used in the transmitter circuit.

    Abstract: Apparatuses for reducing power consumption in a programmable logic device (PLD) with a self power down mechanism are disclosed. Methods and a machine readable medium for restoring a prior known state are provided. The prior known state is stored in a memory module before the PLD is powered down and the same state is restored from the memory module when the PLD is powered up. The memory module may be an internal or an external non-volatile or volatile memory source. One sector of the memory may be used to store the previous known state. The memory sector can be partitioned into different sections. One section may be used as a header section associated with a data storage section. Partitioning the memory sector into different sections and utilizing multiple addresses from each section ensure less read and write cycles during the powering down and the powering up of the PLD.
