Reading the slave logical signal by sampling the magnitude of the current signal on the electrical bus, wherein magnitude of the current on the electrical bus is sampled at a point in the bit time when the voltage on the electrical bus has remained constant for a period longer than the shortest time that the voltage remains at any level during the bit time. | 2011-06-09 |
| 20110138091 | PRE-MEMORY RESOURCE CONTENTION RESOLUTION - Techniques are disclosed relating to resource contention resolution in a pre-memory environment. Prior to system memory being accessible, a resource control processing element controls access to a hardware resource by a plurality of processing elements by granting received requests from the processing elements for access to the resource. The resource control processing element may prioritize requests based on a determined amount of utilization of the hardware resource by individual ones of the processing elements. In one embodiment, processing elements request for information from a bus controller (e.g., an SMBus controller) that is usable to initialize system memory. The resource control processing element may respond to the requests by retrieving the requested information from the controller and providing that information to the processing element or by retrieving the requested information from a cache and providing that information to the processing element. | 2011-06-09 |
| 20110138092 | ARBITRATION DEVICE, ARBITRATION SYSTEM, ARBITRATION METHOD, SEMICONDUCTOR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT, AND IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE - Provided is a hierarchical arbitration device wherein an arbitration device at each level of the hierarchy selects a resource use request having the highest priority and a resource use request having the second highest priority, outputting these two resource use requests to the arbitration device that is one level higher. After outputting the memory use request having the highest priority to a resource control unit as the top priority resource use request, when the arbitration device at the highest level of the hierarchy receives a signal from the memory control unit indicating receipt of the resource use request, the arbitration device then selects the resource use request having the second highest priority and outputs this resource request as the next top priority resource use request. | 2011-06-09 |
| 20110138093 | INTEGRATED CIRCUIT PACKAGE WITH MULTIPLE DIES AND INTERRUPT PROCESSING - A package includes a first die and a second die. The dies are connected to each other through an interface. The package includes interrupt processing for detecting interrupt information and providing a packet in response to the interrupt information detection. The packet includes an address to which data in the packet is to be written. The interface is configured to transport the packet between the dies. A data store is provided to which the data is writable. An interrupt event is determined from data received in several packets. | 2011-06-09 |
