Abstract

For critical path monitoring in an integrated circuit (IC), a system includes a data flip-flop configured to receive a data input and a clock input, and generate a first data output and a first clock output. A data delay path generates a delayed data output. An output flip-flop, coupled to the data delay path generates a second data output and a second clock output. A time-to-digital converter (TDC), coupled to the data delay path, includes a comparator bank that compares the delayed data output against reference levels and generates a code. An encoder, coupled to the comparator bank converts the code into a binary code representing the time delay. A minimum delay search coupled to the TDC includes a control circuit, configured to dynamically adjust the supply voltage and other parameters of the IC based on the timing margins and delay settings identified by the minimum delay search.

Abstract

A critical path tracking system for an integrated circuit (IC) is described. The system may include a real critical path with a first set of combinatorial logic receiving data and clock inputs, generating a first output. The system may include a replica critical path with a second set of combinatorial logic replicating the first set, generating a second output. Capture flip-flops (CFFs) may be coupled to paths, capturing the first and second outputs at different points. A programmable delay element may introduce adjustable delays to the second output. A multiplexer may select between the first and delayed outputs for the CFFs, and a comparator may generate a path failure signature by comparing the outputs. A control circuit may dynamically adjust the delay settings and the IC's supply voltage based on the path failure signature. A software loop may read the signature, analyze timing margins, and control the circuit.

Abstract

A critical path tracking system for an integrated circuit (IC) is described. The system may include a real critical path with a first set of combinatorial logic receiving data and clock inputs, generating a first output. The system may include a replica critical path with a second set of combinatorial logic replicating the first set, generating a second output. Capture flip-flops (CFFs) may be coupled to paths, capturing the first and second outputs at different points. A programmable delay element may introduce adjustable delays to the second output. A multiplexer may select between the first and delayed outputs for the CFFs, and a comparator may generate a path_failure_signature by comparing the outputs. A control circuit may dynamically adjust the delay settings and the IC's supply voltage based on the path failure signature. A software loop may read the signature, analyze timing margins, and control the circuit.

Abstract

For critical path monitoring in an integrated circuit (IC), a system includes a data flip-flop configured to receive a data input and a clock input, and generate a first data output and a first clock output. A data delay path generates a delayed data output. An output flip-flop, coupled to the data delay path generates a second data output and a second clock output. A time-to-digital converter (TDC), coupled to the data delay path, includes a comparator bank that compares the delayed data output against reference levels and generates a code. An encoder, coupled to the comparator bank converts the code into a binary code representing the time delay. A minimum delay search coupled to the TDC includes a control circuit, configured to dynamically adjust the supply voltage and other parameters of the IC based on the timing margins and delay settings identified by the minimum delay search.

Abstract

Methods and systems may include processes by which the reliability and robustness of a wireless network may be improved. In some implementations, a method may include selecting at least two resource units to be used for communications to a single client device; and transmitting data in duplicate via each of the at least two resource units to the client device such that the client device is able to combine the data from each of the at least two resource units into a single instance of the data. In some implementations, a method may include obtaining notification of one or more ranges of frequencies corresponding to a set of resource units to be avoided in a spectrum of available frequencies, and allocating resource units to a set of client devices that covers the available frequencies while excluding the set of resource units to be avoided.

Abstract

A method of adjusting operating configurations in a networking device to regulate thermal conditions in the networking device to be within a thermal range while optimizing service for the communication activity of networking device. Example implementations include analyzing communication activity of the one or more network interfaces to determine possible operating configurations to service the communication activity. In an example implementation, the possible operating configurations are learned based on the operating configurations and characteristics of the communication activity when the monitored thermal conditions leave and return the thermal range. Further, the one or more network interfaces of the device can be configured based on service levels for portions of the communication activity in order to regulate the thermal conditions. In some example implementations, instructions can be sent to another device communicating with the networking device to modify communications in order to regulate the thermal conditions.

Abstract

An example method may include configuring a pattern of a sounding packet of a first wireless node in a resource space. Configuring the pattern may include assigning first precoders to a first subset of the resource space for a first antenna sector of the first wireless node; and assigning second precoders to a second subset of the resource space for a second antenna sector of the first wireless node. The method may include wirelessly transmitting the sounding packet with the configured pattern to a second wireless node. The method may include transmitting data packets from the first wireless node to the second wireless node according to one or more transmission parameters that are at least one of received from the second wireless node or determined based on channel state information (CSI) feedback received from the second wireless node.

Abstract

Techniques discussed herein can facilitate handshake procedures for Point-to-Multipoint (P2MP) communication in connection with various DSL (Direct Subscriber Line) technologies. Various embodiments can employ different methods of separation of signaling to arrange P2MP handshake procedures based on existing Point-to-Point (P2P) handshake procedures. Example embodiments can employ one of separation in frequency, separation in time, or separation in transmission power level.
