In one instance, the communications link is directionally configurable for reassigning input lanes to output lanes and output lanes to input lanes. With this approach, the communications link can be used to communicate with a variety of devices having varied communication characteristics.02-12-2009
20100001889Current-Time Digital-to-Analog Converter - A high resolution digital-to-analog converter comprises a programmable n-bit current digital-to-analog converter (IDAC), an m-bit programmable counter/timer, an integrator that converts the IDAC constant current charging a capacitor over time into an a precision (high resolution) analog voltage, and a sample and hold circuit for storing the precision analog voltage. The constant current from the IDAC is applied to the integrator for a time period determined by the programmable counter/timer, then the sample and hold circuit will sample the final voltage on the capacitor and store it as an analog voltage. The analog voltage resolution of this high resolution digital-to-analog converter is n+m bits or binary 201-07-2010

20120229112USING LOW VOLTAGE REGULATOR TO SUPPLY POWER TO A SOURCE-BIASED POWER DOMAIN - A common (ground) of a low voltage regulator is connected to a virtual common (ground) of an integrated circuit device that is also connected to transistor sources but isolated from a true ground connected to the substrate of the integrated circuit device. The regulated output voltage from the low voltage regulator rises the same as the virtual ground voltage rises when back-biased sufficient to reduce leakage current to an acceptable level in a given process technology. Therefore, the output of the low voltage regulator will maintain a normal operating voltage for the logic during a power saving back-biased condition.09-13-2012

20120306886CONTINUOUS RF SIGNAL VISUALIZATION WITH HIGH RESOLUTION - A method and apparatus for continuous RF signal visualization with high resolution acquires RF signal data within a specified frequency bandwidth seamlessly to produce digitized time domain data. The digitized time domain data is processed in both the frequency and time domains to form high resolution spectral and time traces which are stored. To match human visualization abilities, the high resolution traces are combined to form low resolution traces which are displayed. With the spectral traces, spectrum bitmaps may be generated and stored so that the spectrum bitmap for any displayed spectral trace may be recalled and displayed. The high resolution traces for any specified low resolution trace may be recalled for display. Finally multiple trigger event types may be generated and displayed with the displayed traces.12-06-2012

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120313452Flux compression generator - A flux compression generator (FCG) is provided for producing an electromagnetic pulse (EMP). The FCG includes an environmental case, a reactive load, a dielectric core, a superconducting stator, an electric energy source, a load switch, and a transition device. The reactive load transmits the EMP in response to an electric current pulse. The dielectric core has proximal and distal ends within the case, with the stator disposed coaxially around the core that provides structural support. The case contains the electrical energy source, the stator, the core and the transition device. The energy source connects to the stator at the proximal end and powers the transition device. The load switch connects the reactive load to the stator at the distal end. The energy source initially provides an electric current to the stator. The device upon activation heats at least a portion of the stator to reversibly transition the portion from a superconducting state to a non-superconducting state. The stator transfers the electric current as the pulse to the reactive load upon the portion's transition to the non-superconducting state. The stator can be a superconducting helical coil that wraps around the core connected to a superconducting conductor disposed coaxially within the core. Alternatively, the stator can be a stack of superconducting rings disposed coaxially along the core. The superconducting coil and rings can preferably be composed of a high temperature superconductive material on a metal substrate.12-13-2012
