102 results about "Design margin" patented technology

Design margin is the measure of the distance from the set point or the mean response to the nearest edge of failure where acceptance criteria will fail and OOS conditions occur. The greater the design margin, the less likely OOS and lot acceptance failures may occur.

Method and aparatus for improved electrostatic discharge protection

An apparatus having an inter-domain electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit for protection of an integrated circuit (IC) with multiple power domains. The protection circuit in response to an ESD event provides an ESD protection between different power domains. Specifically, the protection circuit comprises at least one clamp coupled to one power domain, which conducts current during an ESD event to provide extra current in the interface line between the two different power domains. This extra current also in turn increases the voltage over the impedance element on the interface line, thus improving the design margins for the ESD protection and providing a better ESD protection capability for IC products.

Adaptive power management in portable entertainment device

Battery life in portable entertainment devices that play fixed-length music or video files (e.g., MP3 music files) is extended by adaptively adjusting the speed of a processor in the device such that only a minimum number of MIPS are performed to playback the music or video files. Slowing the processor clock provides significant savings in power usage. A use profile containing required MIPS for each song may be stored on the device, or use profile information may be inserted into the data stream or embedded within the data file. Power savings occurs on every subsequent replay of the same entertainment data file or data stream by adaptively adjusting the processor clock to the desired speed as determined by the use profile information (plus design margin based on the particular playback device).
