Filed:

Aug 22, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/507670

Inventors:

Peter Michels - Cupertino CA, US

Assignee:

Broadcom Corporation - Irvine CA

International Classification:

H04L 12/56
H04J 3/02
H03K 19/173

US Classification:

370235, 370391, 370532, 370538, 326 38

Abstract:

An apparatus and method are provided to perform a time multiplexing logic in a module, are provided including identifying a driving flop and a receiving flop in the module, receiving a modified input signal, and identifying a worst case timing path for the modified input signal to transmit from the driving flop to the receiving flop. The time multiplexing logic of the apparatus and method further identifies a predetermined point of the worst case timing path, and inserts a logic unit at the predetermined point allowing the time multiplexing logic circuit to process and output the modified input signal at a maximum frequency.

Appl. No.:

11/497293

Inventors:

Peter Michels - Cupertino CA, US

Assignee:

Broadcom Corporation - Irvine CA

International Classification:

H03M 13/00
H04L 1/00

US Classification:

714799, 714781

Abstract:

An apparatus and method are provided including a point-to-point cluster link configured to receive a data packet and determines a cyclic redundancy code check for the data packet. The point-to-point cluster link is configured to add a cyclic redundancy code check bit to the data packet transmitted to the point-to-point inter-cluster link, to clear the cyclic redundancy code check bit when the data packet is received, and to sample a cyclic redundancy code window to identify a corrupted data packet.

Appl. No.:

Inventors:

Peter Michels - Cupertino CA, US

International Classification:

H04L 12/26

US Classification:

370230000

Abstract:

An apparatus and method to optimize latency and bandwidth in a system include a queue configured to receive control data packets of a control stream, and an arbiter. The arbiter is operatively connected to the queue and configured to set a threshold level defining a priority to transmit and process each control data packet, to read header attribute information associated with the control data packet, and to determine, based on the header attribute information included in the control data packet, a length of each control data packet. The arbiter is configured to compare the length of each control data packet with the threshold level to prioritize transmission of the control data packets.
