摘要： A system and method for communicating with an integrated circuit is provided that allows an integrated circuit to communicate debugging information and system bus transaction information with an external system. The system may include an interface protocol that provides flow control between the integrated circuit and the external system. The system may include a high-speed link and/or a JTAG link for communicating information. A link may be automatically selected by a debug circuit, or selected by an on-chip device or external system. The high-speed link enables real-time collection of trace information. Links may be memory-mapped, such that on-chip devices and other devices attached to the system bus may access the external system. The high-speed link may also operate at a rate which is integrally coupled with a rate of the processor or system bus. Further, the high-speed link may be adapted to change speeds in response to a change in operating speed of the system bus or processor. The JTAG interface may utilize standard JTAG components and instructions such that external devices such as debug adaptors adopting these components and instructions may be re-used for different integrated circuit types. Information transmitted over the JTAG-or high-speed link may be compressed to optimize available bandwidth of the links. Also, processor control signals can be transferred through links that allow an external system to manipulate and monitor operation of the processor and its associated modules.

摘要： A system comprises a central processing unit (10), an interconnection bus (1), and a plurality of functional modules (11-15, 21) corresponding to distinct power domains and able to communicate with each other and/or with the central processing unit via the bus. At least one of the power domains, and is configured to be substituted for a slave functional module (21) of the power domain when the power to the power domain is turned off by the central processing unit. It signals an error in response to any request of a transaction that is in progress between the slave functional module and a master functional module at the moment the power is turned off.

摘要： A computer system having a simple handshake protocol for implementing DMA transfers. A system bus is provided having a plurality of ports for coupling to system components including memory, central processing unit(s) and peripherals. A direct memory access controller (DMAC) is provided with a peripheral-independent interface coupled to the system bus and communicates with the system bus using system bus defined transactions. The DMAC comprises a set of registers. A central processing unit (CPU) configures teh DMAC by loading values into the DMAC registers. The configured DMAC issues an enable signal to a selected system component identified in the DMAC registers. A peripheral request interface is associated with the selected system components and communicates with the system bus using the system bus defined transactions. The selected system component asserts a request signal to the DMAC. In response to the request signal, the DMAC implements a DMA transfer according to the values stored in the DMAC configuration registers. Peripheral-specific signaling is provided to the system component by the peripheral request interface

摘要： An output buffer register includes a first input flip-flop register receiving a given number N of input signals, a latching register, a selection register, and an output multiplexer delivering N output signals. Only one data input of the enable register receives an enable signal. In this way, the propagation time at the input of the buffer register is reduced.
