| 20110038426 | TRANSMISSION SYSTEM AND TRANSMISSION METHOD - In order to optimize with high accuracy parameters that a fast I/F has, optimization by training is required. Regarding these parameters, their optimum values vary to an operating frequency band and a power supply voltage of the I/F. In order to lower the operating frequency band and lower the power supply voltage for reduction of power consumption, re-training that requires a time becomes needed. By obtaining in advance optimum combinations of the operating frequency band, the power supply voltage, and various parameters of the I/F for various parameters of the I/F and then by making a table with them, it is possible to optimize the parameters in a short time by referring to the table in optimizing the power supply voltage. By the optimization of the parameters in a short time being enabled, it is also possible to perform dynamic optimization during an operation of the device. | 02-17-2011 |
| 20110181335 | INTERFACE CIRCUIT, LSI, SERVER DEVICE, AND METHOD OF TRAINING THE INTERFACE CIRCUIT - Power consumption is increased in an interface circuit having a signal processing function for waveform shaping due to influence of a circuit added for waveform shaping. Also, since a plurality of boards are connected to a backplane in a system, they are not exchanged in accordance with distances while there are boards being far or near are mixed, but a common board is used. Thus, it is necessary to prepare a configuration of an interface circuit meeting the longest transfer distance. An interface circuit disabling a part of or all of operations of a waveform shaping circuit is provided. Accordingly, in accordance with transfer distances, switching of operation ranges of waveform shaping circuit inside the interface circuit is possible, and operation ranges of the waveform shaping circuit can be limited, and power consumption of the interface circuit, an LSI including the interface circuit, and a server device can be reduced. | 07-28-2011 |
