20130290646 | FIFO BUFFER SYSTEM PROVIDING SAME CLOCK CYCLE RESPONSE TO POP COMMANDS - A first-in first-out (FIFO) buffer system includes FIFO control logic and first and second storage partitions. Each storage partition includes a corresponding single-port memory bank and a prefetch buffer. The FIFO control logic alternates processing of PUSH commands between the first and second storage partitions. Additionally, the FIFO control logic anticipates POP commands based on the FIFO order and the alternating PUSH arrangement by initiating prefetches of data so that data to be accessed by a POP command is available at either the prefetch buffer (if the prefetch has completed) or the output of the single-port memory bank (if the prefetch has not yet completed) of the corresponding storage partition at the time the POP command is received, thereby enabling the output of the data for the POP command in the same clock cycle in which the POP command is received. | 10-31-2013 |
20150347424 | ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INTEGRATED, AUTOMATIC, MEDIUM-QUALITY AUDIO - A semiconductor device includes a single substrate including circuitry to implement a processor, a memory coupled to the processor, an audio interface module configured to provide data in pulse-code modulation (PCM) format having a first signal to noise ratio (SNR), and a medium quality speaker module configured to receive the PCM data, convert the data from the PCM format to a pulse-width modulation (PWM) format independently of the processor, and provide the data in the PWM format having a second SNR to at least one general purpose input-output pin on the substrate, the first SNR is greater than the second SNR. | 12-03-2015 |

20140177349 | SHARED INTEGRATED SLEEP MODE REGULATOR FOR SRAM MEMORY - Embodiments are described for a method for regulating sleep mode of a plurality of sub-banks in an SRAM array by isolating all of the sub-banks from a regulator upon access to at least one sub-bank that causes the accessed sub-bank to go to an operating voltage, and isolating the accessed sub-bank from non accessed sub-banks, while maintaining a sleep voltage on a load memory array and each of the sub-banks through the regulator; comparing a voltage on the non accessed sub-banks to a voltage output of the regulator; and providing a sleep voltage level to all of the sub-banks through the regulator when the voltage on the non accessed sub-banks is less than the sleep voltage. | 06-26-2014 |
20150326111 | HIGH EFFICIENCY VOLTAGE LEVEL MULTIPLIER - A voltage multiplier circuit. The voltage multiplier circuit includes a storage element, a first transistor, a second transistor and third transistor. The storage element has a first end and a second end. The second end is coupled to a clock signal input. The first transistor has a gate coupled to a voltage node, a first terminal coupled to a supply node, and a second terminal coupled to the first end of the storage element. A second transistor has a first terminal coupled to the first end of the storage element and a second terminal coupled to the voltage output. The third transistor has a gate in communication with the clock input and a first terminal coupled to the voltage node. | 11-12-2015 |

20130242114 | CAPTIONING EVALUATION SYSTEM - A captioning evaluation system. The system accepts captioning data and determines a number of errors in the captioning data, as well as the number of words per minute across the entirety of an event corresponding to the captioning data and time intervals of the event. The errors may be used to determine the accuracy of the captioning and the words per minute, both for the entire event and the time intervals, used to determine a cadence and/or rhythm for the captioning. The accuracy and cadence may be used to score the captioning data and captioner. | 09-19-2013 |
