摘要： A telephone call diverting and answering system. The system includes a telephone call concentrator for diverting a telephone call placed at a telephone set at one of a number of calling stations, from a telephone line connected to the intended telephone set, at one of a large number of called stations, to one of a small number of telephone trunks leading to sets at a number of answering stations. The system further includes an operator console at each answering station, and a traffic director for assigning the call to a particular station by causing the identity of the called station and the number of the diverting trunk to be displayed on the operator console of the assigned answering station.

摘要： A method of implementing a design on a programmable logic device (PLD) includes generating a database that identifies correspondence between resources and programming frames of the PLD. A first PLD design is compiled, wherein the first design uses a first set of resources in a first manner. Costs associated with using the first set of resources of the first design in the first manner are reduced. A second PLD design is then compiled, applying the reduced costs associated with using the first set of resources. A second set of resources required to compile the second design is identified, wherein the second set of resources is not used in the same manner as the first set of resources. A set of programming frames associated with the second set of resources is identified. Costs associated with using a third set of resources associated with the set of programming frames are increased.

摘要： Method and apparatus are described for duty cycle determination and adjustment. More particularly, an output signal is sampled and provided to duty cycle check circuitry which characterizes the duty cycle of the sampled output signal. This characterization may be provided to a wafer prober or integrated circuit tester to determine whether duty cycle is within an acceptance range. Alternatively, the duty cycle indicator signal may be provided to drive adjustment circuitry. In response to duty cycle not being within an acceptance range, drive adjust circuitry provides a drive adjustment signal to adjust duty cycle at an output buffer by turning on one or more p-channel drive transistors, one or more n-channel drive transistors, or a combination of both. Moreover, wells may be biased responsive to a detected duty cycle in order to correct the duty cycle.

摘要： A die having a bypass capacitor is stacked on another die having an active circuit. The active circuit draws a spike of current, for example, during a switching period of a voltage on its output lead from one digital logic level to another digital logic level. The bypass capacitor provides a portion of the spike of current through a conductive plug that extends from a plate of the bypass capacitor to a power lead of the active circuit. The length of the conductive plug is reduced by extending the conductive plug from the bypass capacitor to the active circuit orthogonally to the planar orientation of the dice. Reducing the length of the conductive plug reduces the resistance and inductance of the conductive plug and, in turn, reduces the drop in voltage between the voltage on the bypass capacitor and the voltage on the power lead of the active circuit.

摘要： The supply voltage to which a delay circuit's buffer stages are coupled is adjusted in response to changes in temperature according to a predetermined relationship to maintain a substantially constant buffer stage gate delay over temperature variations. Decreasing gate delays resulting from decreases in temperature are offset by decreasing the supply voltage, which in turn increases gate delays. Conversely, increasing gate delays resulting from increases in temperature are offset by increasing the supply voltage, which in turn decreases gate delays. In some embodiments, a control circuit is connected to the reference voltage circuit that supplies VCC to the delay circuit, and adjusts VCC in response to temperature to maintain substantially constant gate delay over temperature. In one embodiment, the control circuit includes a microprocessor and a look-up table containing desired supply voltage versus temperature mappings. In another embodiment, the control circuit is formed as part of an existing bandgap reference circuit associated with the reference voltage circuit, and therefore consumes minimal silicon area.

摘要： An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is realized in a field programmable gate array (FPGA) without adding special dedicated analog circuitry. In a digital application, a comparator in an interface cell of the FPGA compares an incoming digital signal to a reference voltage. Adjusting of the reference voltage allows the interface cell to support different digital I/O standards. In one embodiment, the comparator is not used for this digital purpose, but rather is used as a comparator in an ADC. A flash ADC is realized by using the comparators of numerous interface cells as the comparators of the flash ADC. Conversion speed is increased by reducing the impedance of the analog signal input path. An on-chip resistor string is provided so that the flash ADC can be realized without external components. In another embodiment, the comparator of the interface cell is the comparator of a successive approximation ADC. In some embodiments, an interface cell has a pad that is usable for receiving a digital signal or for receiving an analog signal. The interface cell includes special dedicated analog circuitry that has a differential input lead that is programmably couplable to the pad.

摘要： The maximum propagation speed of an electrical signal travelling on a conductor in an integrated circuit is limited by the dielectric constant of the dielectric material surrounding the conductor. Rather than transmitting an electrical signal through a conductor that is surrounded with a dielectric material having a dielectric constant of two or more, the signal is propagated as an electromagnetic wave through air at a much higher speed across the surface of the integrated circuit. In one embodiment, a radio frequency (RF) signal is passed into an integrated circuit package via a transmission line. The transmission line supplies the RF signal to a waveguide-like structure disposed above the integrated circuit inside the package. The RF signal propagates as an electromagnetic wave through air in the waveguide structure across the upper surface of the integrated circuit. Antenna/receiver circuit pairs are disposed at various locations across the surface of the integrated circuit where the signal is to be received and used. Other methods and embodiments are disclosed.
