G06F 7/00

US Classification:

700132, 702130, 700299

Abstract:

In one embodiment a memory controller is provided. The memory controller comprises a predictive logic circuit to predict an increase in a current operating temperature of a memory device coupled to the memory controller, based on memory cycles to be issued to the memory device; and a temperature control circuit to perform a temperature control operation wherein if the sum of the current operating temperature and the predicted increase in temperature is greater than a threshold temperature associated with the memory device, then the number of memory cycles issued to the memory device is reduced.

Assignee:

Intel Corporation - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

G11C 7/04

US Classification:

365211, 365212

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a method includes periodically charging a capacitor mounted on an electronic component; initializing a timer to count down from a counter value, once the capacitor is charged; determining if the capacitor has discharged before the timer has counted down to zero; and if the capacitor has discharged before the timer has counted down to zero then generating an interrupt.

International Classification:

G06F 1/26
G06F 13/00
G06F 13/14
H03K 19/0175
G09G 3/00

US Classification:

710307, 713300, 713320, 326 86

Abstract:

A method is described which comprises propagating electronic signals within circuitry comprising a transmitter to select a number of the transmitter's lanes, set a speed for each of the lanes, and set at least a driver supply voltage for each of the lanes. The number and speed determine the transmitter's bandwidth. Power consumed by the transmitter as a consequence of the lane number selection, lane speed setting and driver supply voltage is less than a power that would have been consumed by the transmitter had another available combination of lane number, lane speed and supply voltage been effected for the transmitter.

International Classification:

H04R 5/00

G06F 17/00

US Classification:

381 22, 381119, 381111, 700 94

Abstract:

A codec in a processor-based system handles at least two separate audio programs at the same time. This may be useful, for example, for simultaneously playing one audio program while recording another audio program. A first digital to analog converter pair may be coupled to a first mixer and a second digital to analog converter pair may include a second mixer. Thus, two separate audio programs may be handled at the same time, each by a separate digital to analog converter and mixer.

US Classification:

365212, 365211, 365227, 365 72, 365 63, 365 51

Abstract:

Thermal management and communication is described in the context of memory modules that contain several memory devices. In one example, the invention includes determining a temperature of a first memory device, the first memory device containing a plurality of memory cells, determining a temperature of a second memory device after determining the temperature of the first memory device, the second memory device containing a plurality of memory cells, and generating an alarm based on an evaluation of the first and the second temperatures. In another example, the invention includes detecting a thermal event on a memory device of a memory module that contains a plurality of memory devices, detecting the state of an event bus of the memory module, and sending an alert on the event bus if the event bus is in an unoccupied state.

Abstract:

Systems and methods of managing memory devices provide for reduced power consumption and better thermal management through enhanced memory throttling. In one embodiment a memory unit includes a memory device and a temperature measurement module coupled to the memory device. The temperature measurement device measures the internal temperature of the memory device. Memory throttling can therefore be implemented based on more accurate measurements and with a much shorter response time.
