FP + OOP = Haskell. The programming language Haskell adds object-oriented FUNCTIONALITY (using a concept
known as
type classes
) to a pure functional programming framework. This paper describes
these extensions and analyzes its accomplishments as well as some problems.
The LTC®4155 and LTC4156 are dual multiplexed-inputbattery chargers with PowerPath™ control, featuring I2Cprogrammability and USB On-The-Go for systems suchas tablet PCs and other high power density applications.The LTC4155’s float voltage (VFLOAT) range is optimizedfor Li-Ion batteries, while the LTC4156 is optimized forlithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4)batteries, supportingsystem loads to 4A with up to 3.5A of battery chargecurrent. I2C controls a broad range of functions and USBOn-The-Go FUNCTIONALITY is controlled directly from theUSB connector ID pin.
針對目前使用的RS232接口數字化B超鍵盤存在PC主機啟動時不能設置BIOS，提出一種PS2鍵盤的設計方法。基于W78E052D單片機，采用8通道串行A/D轉換器設計了8個TGC電位器信息采集電路，電位器位置信息以鍵盤掃描碼序列形式發送，正交編碼器信號通過XC9536XL轉換為單片機可接收的中斷信號，軟件接收到中斷信息后等效處理成按鍵。結果表明，在滿足開機可設置BIOS同時，又可實現超聲特有功能，不需要專門設計驅動程序，接口簡單，成本低。
Abstract: Aiming at the problem of the digital ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system keyboard with RS232 interface currently used couldn?蒺t set the BIOS when the PC boot， this paper proposed a design method of PS2 keyboards. Based on W78E052D microcontroller，designed eight TGC potentiometers information acquisition circuit with 8-channel serial A/D converter， potentiometer position information sent out with keyboard scan code sequentially.The control circuit based on XC9536 CPLD is used for converting the mechanical actions of the encoders into the signals that can be identified by the MCU， software received interrupt information and equivalently treatmented as key. The results show that the BIOS can be set to meet the boot， ultrasound specific FUNCTIONALITY can be achieved at the same time， it does not require specially designed driver，the interface is simple and low cost.
PICKIT™ 2 PROGRAMMER-TO-GO USER GUIDE
The PICkit 2 Programmer-To-Go FUNCTIONALITY allows a PIC MCU memory image to be downloaded into the PICkit 2 unit for later programming into a specific PIC MCU. No software or PC is required to program devices once the PICkit 2 unit is set up for Programming-To-Go. A USB power source for the PICkit 2 is all that is needed.
The STWD100 watchdog timer circuits are self-contained devices which prevent systemfailures that are caused by certain types of hardware errors (non-responding peripherals,bus contention, etc.) or software errors (bad code jump, code stuck in loop, etc.).The STWD100 watchdog timer has an input, WDI, and an output, WDO (see Figure 2). Theinput is used to clear the internal watchdog timer periodically within the specified timeoutperiod, twd (see Section 3: Watchdog timing). While the system is operating correctly, itperiodically toggles the watchdog input, WDI. If the system fails, the watchdog timer is notreset, a system alert is generated and the watchdog output, WDO, is asserted (seeSection 3: Watchdog timing).The STWD100 circuit also has an enable pin, EN (see Figure 2), which can enable ordisable the watchdog FUNCTIONALITY. The EN pin is connected to the internal pull-downresistor. The device is enabled if the EN pin is left floating.
Introduction to Xilinx Packaging Electronic packages are interconnectable housings for semiconductor devices. The major functions of the electronic packages are to provide electrical interconnections between the IC and the board and to efficiently remove heat generated by the device. Feature sizes are constantly shrinking, resulting in increased number of transistors being packed into the device. Today's submicron technology is also enabling large-scale functional integration and system-on-a-chip solutions. In order to keep pace with these new advancements in silicon technologies, semiconductor packages have also evolved to provide improved device FUNCTIONALITY and performance. Feature size at the device level is driving package feature sizes down to the design rules of the early transistors. To meet these demands, electronic packages must be flexible to address high pin counts, reduced pitch and form factor requirements. At the same time,packages must be reliable and cost effective.
In the past decade, the size and complexity of manyFPGA designs exceeds the time and resourcesavailable to most design teams, making the use andreuse of Intellectual Property (IP) imperative.However, integrating numerous IP blocks acquiredfrom both internal and external sources can be adaunting challenge that often extends, rather thanshortens, design time. As today's designs integrateincreasing amounts of FUNCTIONALITY, it is vital thatdesigners have access to proven, up-to-date IP fromreliable sources.
This application note describes how the existing dual-port block memories in the Spartan™-IIand Virtex™ families can be used as Quad-Port memories. This essentially involves a dataaccess time (halved) versus FUNCTIONALITY (doubled) trade-off. The overall bandwidth of the blockmemory in terms of bits per second will remain the same.
