171 results about "Circuit extraction" patented technology

The electric circuit extraction or simply circuit extraction, also netlist extraction, is the translation of an integrated circuit layout back into the electrical circuit (netlist) it is intended to represent. This extracted circuit is needed for various purposes including circuit simulation, static timing analysis, signal integrity, power analysis and optimization, and logic to layout comparison. Each of these functions require a slightly different representation of the circuit, resulting in the need for multiple layout extractions. In addition, there may be a postprocessing step of converting the device-level circuit into a purely digital circuit, but this is not considered part of the extraction process.

Audio clock regenerator with precisely tracking mechanism

In an HDMI system, the clock regenerator proposed by the HDMI specification may suffer external noise because the input clock of a phase lock loop circuit in a sink device of the HDMI system is too slow.

Therefore, one embodiment of the present invention provides a clock regenerator to extract the relationship between the regenerated audio clock and a video clock received by the sink device from other source devices. The clock regenerator may comprise a phase lock loop circuit, a recovery circuit, a crystal oscillator and a tracking circuit. The crystal oscillator generates a crystal clock.
