Appl. No.:

10/192835

Inventors:

Haixing Shi - Santa Clara CA, US
Ying He - Palo Alto CA, US

International Classification:

H04J 3/16

US Classification:

370437

Abstract:

A passive optical network (PON) in accordance with the invention uses a superframe having a number of subframes arranged in a two-dimensional array, wherein for normal data transfer subframes are allocated to each optical network unit (ONU) column by column, left to right, and within each column subframes are allocated from top to the bottom. Initially, for ranging, at least two subframes are allocated to an ONU, adjacent to a diagonal of the superframe (which may go from the top left corner of the superframe to the bottom right corner, or alternatively from the top right corner to the bottom left corner). In some embodiments, instead of allocating subframes column by column, the subframes are evenly spaced apart from one another, and conflicts with a previous allocation are resolved by adjustment, and optionally an evaluation function may be used to find an optimal allocation.

International Classification:

G06F 17/50

US Classification:

716 18, 716 1, 716 4, 716 11

Abstract:

A design tool for generating design views of a semiconductor chip is presented. The design tool includes an input module, a generation module, a first synthesis module, a user interface module and an extraction module. The input module may be configured to receive input including physical and logical resources and a custom chip specification. The generation module may be configured to generate Register Transfer Level (RTL) views for the semiconductor chip. The first synthesis module may be configured to perform logic synthesis using the RTL views. The user interface module may be configured to query a user whether re-usable intellectual property (IP) is to be generated. The extraction module may be configured to extract and package design information for the re-usable IP in response to a request from the user.

International Classification:

G06F 17/50

US Classification:

716 1, 716 2, 716 3, 716 18

Abstract:

A method for estimating resources during design planning is generally provided. A first step generally involves receiving design information for an integrated circuit design. A first portion of the integrated circuit design is generally complete, while a second portion of the integrated circuit design is generally incomplete. A second step generally involves receiving user input of estimated design information for the second portion of the integrated circuit design. A third step generally involves automatically generating one or more representative blocks representing the second portion of the integrated circuit design based on the user input. The one or more representative blocks may be generated having substantially equivalent size and characteristics to one or more actual blocks developed for the second portion of the integrated circuit design.
