摘要： An exemplary method and system of addressing an integrated circuit within a daisy chain network. In the exemplary method, the address of the integrated circuit may be initialized to a predetermined initial address. The integrated circuit may receive a command that includes a type identifier and an address field. Based on the type identifier, the type of command may be determined. As a result of the determination, reading the address from the address field. The read address may be stored in a register. The address may be modified, and may be output. Upon receipt of the data or a command, the integrity of the data including data within the received command, may be confirmed by an error checking algorithm.

摘要： The present invention is directed to a programmable logic circuit used as an arbiter to control access to a shared resource, e.g. a system bus, by N devices in a computer system. The programmable arbiter according to the present invention, implements a logic design with sufficient flexibility to accommodate and selectively incorporate features of several different arbitration schemes including a straight priority scheme, a programmable arbitration, and a rotating priority arbitration scheme. In addition to these arbitration schemes, the arbiter of the present invention supports an extended programmable arbitration scheme whereby a device which is requesting access to the shared resource may be granted access to the resource even if it has used up its allocated share of bandwidth if there are no other devices requesting access to the shared resource. Furthermore, bus bandwidth may be allocated to particular device or to a group of devices at a particular priority level. In addition to providing for programmable allocation of bus bandwidth, the arbiter of the present invention permits the number of clock cycles allocated per bus window for one requesting device to be different from the number of clock cycles allocated per bus window for another device. In this manner, the size of the bus window can be designed to accommodate the individual requirements of each device permitting maximization of both the device's and the system's overall efficiency.
摘要翻译：本发明涉及用作仲裁器的可编程逻辑电路，以控制对共享资源的访问，例如，系统总线，由计算机系统中的N个设备。根据本发明的可编程仲裁器实现具有足够灵活性的逻辑设计，以容纳并选择性地并入包括直接优先方案，可编程仲裁和旋转优先权仲裁方案的若干不同仲裁方案的特征。除了这些仲裁方案之外，本发明的仲裁器还支持扩展的可编程仲裁方案，由此即使在请求对共享资源的访问的设备已经占用其分配的带宽份额的情况下，也可以授予对资源的访问权限没有其他请求访问共享资源的设备。此外，可以将总线带宽分配给特定设备或特定优先级的一组设备。除了提供总线带宽的可编程分配之外，本发明的仲裁器允许一个请求设备每总线窗口分配的时钟周期数量与另一个设备每总线窗口分配的时钟周期数不同。以这种方式，总线窗口的尺寸可以被设计为适应每个设备的个体要求，允许设备和系统的整体效率最大化。

摘要： A stackable network unit which can form a ring with other units has a master mode in which it can place packets on the ring, so that they can be ultimately forwarded from other units, and a repeat mode in which it can make a request for transfer of mastership of the ring, inserting bits in a header of an arbitration packet. If a master unit has completed the transmission of a packet and, preferably, after the required inter-packet gap has elapsed, it has not yet received an arbitration header to permit the making of an arbitration decision it can transmit a subsequent packet. The header information of this packet indicates to the other units that this subsequent packet is part of a burst of packets and the other units should not set requests in the header of this packet because this packet would not be used for arbitration. The master unit indicates the nature of the subsequent packet by setting a sequence number in the header of the packet to distinguish it and following packets in a burst from the ‘first’ packet which is the one used to pick up requests from the units that may need to become the master unit.

摘要： A method and apparatus for refresh command operations on an SDRAM that avoids use of refresh commands requiring all banks of the SDRAM to be idle. Burst operation establishes command sequences that include Nop command intervals. Some of these Nop intervals are used to perform operations on a bank other than the one under access for the burst that provide a refresh. ACTIVE followed by PRECHARGE commands are inserted into the command intervals addressed to a refresh address. The refresh addresses are generated externally of the SDRAM and provided to a multiplexer that sequences them with the data addresses. A secondary timer checks that required refresh has occurred and prioritizes the refresh addresses over data addresses in the multiplexer in the event that a refresh has not been completed shortly before a maximum refresh interval.

摘要： A system transfers a data stream including data packets separated by non-packet words from a first clock domain to a second clock domain. It includes an elasticity buffer into which the data stream is written in a cyclic sequence under the control of the clock frequency in the first clock domain and from which the data stream is read out in a cyclic sequence under the control of the clock frequency in the second domain. The two sequences are monitored to provide an anticipatory signal indicating that the reading sequence approaches proximity to the writing sequence. A non-packet word is inserted into the data stream in the first domain. In the second clock domain the existence of the inserted non-packet word is detected and the buffer is caused to advance the reading cycle thereby to discard the said inserted non-packet word.

摘要： An interface comprises a management entity including a first state machine, a bidirectional serial data bus and a clock line, intended for connection to physical layer devices each of which includes at least one register into which data can be written by way of the serial data bus and at least one register from which data can be read by way of the serial data bus, the management entity providing a clock signal having transitions defining bit periods for said data and further comprising a line driver for the serial data bus and an amplifier which is connected to sense the voltage level of the data bus. The management entity is organised to detect during a specified period while the line driver is quiescent whether the physical layer device is present or not according as the voltage of the bus approaches that of a voltage supply rail in the physical layer device or that of a datum for the management entity. The management entity is arranged to cause the line driver to drive the bus towards the voltage of the supply rail in an interval between the penultimate clock transition before the beginning of said time period and the clock transition denoting the beginning of said time period. The said interval may occur during a reading cycle of the management entity and, in accordance with IEEE Standard 802.3 Clause 22, the reading cycle may be defined to include an address word identifying a register in a physical layer device and a turn around time before the physical layer device provides data and wherein said interval occurs after the provision of a final bit in said address word when the final bit is such as to drive the bus toward the datum.
