MEMORY SYSTEM, SEMICONDUCTOR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT, AND METHOD THEREFOR
A memory system includes a first nonvolatile memory, a first bridge circuit connected to the memory, a second nonvolatile memory, a second bridge circuit connected to the second memory and connected to the first circuit, and a controller connected to the first circuit and configured to output, to the first circuit, first data to be stored in the first memory and second data to be stored in the second memory, the first and second data being mapped to multiplexing symbols. The first bridge circuit is configured to, upon receipt of the multiplexing symbols, extract the first data from the symbols, store the first data in the first memory, generate third data based on the second data to insert the generated third data into the multiplexing symbols where the first data was mapped, and output to the second circuit the multiplexing symbols into which the third data has been inserted.
Content protection over synchronous data networks
Disclosed herein are systems and techniques for content protection over synchronous data networks. For example, a method of communicating content protected data may include providing link synchronization information over a link of a synchronous bus, and providing content protected data over the link of the synchronous bus. The content protected data may be protected in accordance with the High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) specification or the Digital Transmission Content Protection (DTCP) specification, for example.
COMMUNICATING NON-ISOCHRONOUS DATA OVER AN ISOCHRONOUS CHANNEL
Isochronous channels may be used for transporting non-isochronous data between components in an electronic device, such as when non-isochronous data is aggregated from multiple non-isochronous data streams to achieve a high peak-to-average bandwidth. The aggregated non-isochronous data sources may include data streams from general-purpose communications interfaces for interconnecting components or sub-systems of components within an electronic device. For example, I2C networks for control and programming of components may be connected to other I2C networks through an isochronous channel, such as a differential pair of Soundwire SWI3S wires.
Data loading system
A data loading system includes a processing circuit, a nonvolatile memory, and a programmable logic device. The processing circuit and the programmable logic device are separately coupled to different data interfaces of the nonvolatile memory. The nonvolatile memory stores start code of the processing circuit and configuration data of the programmable logic device, and the processing circuit and the programmable logic device are configured to respectively obtain the start code and the configuration data from the nonvolatile memory at the same time under the action of a first synchronization clock. Hence, the system increases a speed and reliability of data loading and increases a start speed and reliability of a board.
Synchronization control method, chip, electronic device and storage medium
Provided are a synchronization control method, a chip, an electronic device and a storage medium. A master device sets a reference time for a plurality of slave devices wirelessly connected to the master device; and determines a target count value K of a connection event and an offset time of a respective slave device for each of the plurality of slave devices. The master device transmits the target count value of the connection event and the offset time to the respective slave device, so that each of the plurality of slave devices performs control based on the target count value of the connection event and the offset time of the respective slave device, so as to perform a task at the reference time.
EXTENDING MULTICHIP PACKAGE LINK OFF PACKAGE
An interconnect interface is provided to enable communication with an off-package device over a link including a plurality of lanes. Logic of the interconnect interface includes receiver logic to receive a valid signal from the off-package device on a dedicated valid lane of the link indicating that data is to arrive on a plurality of dedicated data lanes in the plurality of lanes, receive the data on the data lanes from the off-package device sampled based on arrival of the valid signal, and receive a stream signal from the off-package device on a dedicated stream lane in the plurality of lanes. The stream signal corresponds to the data and indicates a particular data type of the data. The particular data type can be one of a plurality of different data types capable of being received on the plurality of data lanes of the link.
Memory controller for strobe-based memory systems
An integrated circuit (IC) memory controller is disclosed. The memory controller includes a receiver to receive a strobe signal and provide an internal strobe signal. An adjustable delay circuit delays an enable signal to generate a delayed enable signal. A gate circuit generates a gated strobe signal using the delayed enable signal that masks transitions of the internal strobe signal that occur prior to a valid region of the internal strobe signal. A sample circuit samples data using the gated strobe signal.
USB HOST-TO-USB HOST CHIP
A host-to-host chip includes: first and second ports coupled to first and second hosts respectively; and a host-to-host control circuit coupled to the first port and the second port. When the host-to-host chip is coupled to the second host, the host-to-host control circuit identifies whether the second host is an i-Phone or an Android smartphone. If the host-to-host control circuit identifies that the second host is an i-Phone smartphone, in response to a command from the host-to-host control circuit, the second host switches to host role from device role, and the host-to-host control circuit controls whether data is transmitted between the first host and the second host via a DMA path. If the host-to-host control circuit identifies that the second host is an Android smartphone, the host-to-host control circuit determines that data is transmitted between the first host and the second host in a pass-through mode.
FLY-BY-WIRE SYSTEMS AND RELATED OPERATING METHODS
Aircraft fly-by-wire systems and related vehicle electrical systems are provided. In one embodiment, an electrical system suitable for use with a control surface of a vehicle, such as an aircraft, is provided.
