In all honesty, I get a little more excited than I probably should when it seems like someone's marketing department has accidentally revealed juicy details. Today, after seeing Jelly Bean 4.1 teased in a thumbnail image and checkout page (which was quickly redacted), it seems that Sprint may have let slip the existence of a white version of the HTC EVO 4G LTE. In a banner found on the Now Network's website earlier today, we see a white Samsung Galaxy SII (nothing surprising there) right next to a white and silver version of the EVO LTE.
Good news for folks who aren't on Sprint, but want to be! (Those exist right?) If you've been eyeballing the Evo LTE as your next phone, you couldn't get it any cheaper than you can now. Amazon Wireless is currently offering the device for $129.99 with a new two-year contract.
While it sucks a bit for current Sprint customers, upgraders can still get the device for the previously-established $149 price point, saving a bit of money over Sprint's own offerings.
Back at the announcement of the Galaxy S III, many people were quick to note that Samsung disclaimed the availability of the Exynos quad-core processor powering the beast as contingent on certain issues of geography. And then we learned that, for reals, the US versions of the Galaxy S III would be shipping with Snapdragon S4 dual-cores onboard - the MSM8960 chipset, to be precise.
And that included T-Mobile's version, which many speculated (myself included) might be the only Exynos-packing Galaxy S III to make its way to the US of A.
Looks like it's the time of the month for Verizon to flip its 4G LTE switch to 'on' in new markets. It seems that the rollout has been in hyperspeed lately, as more and more cities are getting their taste of the blazing fast 4G service; this time Big Red is giving it to 46 new markets:
- Florence, AL
- Harrison, AR
- Yuba City/Marysville, CA
- Panama City, FL
- Carrolton, Gainesville, and Newnan, GA
- Blackfoot, ID

- Danville, VA
- Ashland, KY
- Huntington and Logan, WV
- Fond du Lax, Janesville, Beloit, and Sheboygan, WI

And expand in 22 existing markets:

Yay for 4G in more places!
In a Bluetooth SIG listing (a trade certification group), LG has officially confirmed the existence of the E970 and LS970. The former is possibly headed for AT&T (it has AT&T GSM and LTE bands - which could mean Rogers as well) and is packing a quad-core Qualcomm S4 Krait chip, complete with the latest Adreno 320 GPU goes toe-for-toe with the Galaxy SIII in GLBencmark. The 1280x768 resolution is something of an oddity - why the extra 48 pixels?
Back at CES in January we got a first glance at Sony's latest flagship phone, the Xperia Ion. In our time with it, the device made an impression with its 720P display and 12 megapixel camera. As expected, this device is finally showing up on AT&T with an announcement today of the device's availability later this month.
As you can see, this is a phone with some serious media credentials.
It may not get the tech world's heart all a-flutter to hear that MetroPCS is launching a Huawei phone, but the world needs budget phones and networks too! The duo is teaming up this time to bring no fewer than four gees to consumers for the first time in a Huawei device. The Activa 4G is a modestly spec'd phone, with a 3.5" HVGA display, a 5 megapixel camera, and running Android 2.3.
According to a recent FCC filing, Qualcomm is hard at work on a new radio chipset that would support seven spectrum bands, including three below 1GHz. The introduction of this chipset could offer an effective solution to LTE spectrum fragmentation, which is a thorn in the side of manufacturers looking to cleanly execute broad product releases.
LTE fragmentation has also stirred debate among carriers, though. Smaller carriers operate within the Lower A block of the 700MHz band, in Band Class 12 while larger carriers like AT&T operate on the Lower B and C blocks in Band Class 17.
Alongside Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile, Sprint has announced that it, too, will be carrying the next Galaxy in just a few short weeks. As far as we can tell, the device will be unbranded aside from the standard Sprint logos, but we've yet to confirm this (Sprint has not provided images).
Yesterday, we'd heard from Samsung that the device would be coming to five carriers in the US, and with Sprint's announcement, we're now up to all five.
Alongside Verizon, Sprint, AT&T, and T-Mobile, regional carrier US Cellular has made official that it will be carrying Samsung's Galaxy S III, with pre-orders beginning on June 12th. Pricing has yet to be announced, but as a regional carrier, US Cellular often has slightly higher premiums than its national counterparts, so potentially expect something above the standard $199 price-tag for the 16GB model.
As with all the announced US Galaxy S III devices, it is packing a Snapdragon S4, rather than a quad-core Exynos processor, which means full LTE support.

Australia High Court Overturns ACT Marriage Equality Law
December 12, 2013 by HRC staff
Post submitted by Jane WothayaThirikwa, HRC Global Engagement Fellow
Australia's High Court has overturned legislation allowing same-sex marriage in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), just five days after it took effect, invalidating wedding ceremonies of more than two dozen couples.
The High Court ruled that same-sex marriage was a matter for Australian lawmakers to decide at the national level. The Australian parliament voted down a marriage equality legislation bill in September 2012.
The ACT parliament passed the bill in October making the territory the first part of Australia to legalize same-sex marriage. The law allowed for couples to wed beginning December 2013. The unions have now been declared invalid.
The federal government challenged the decision, arguing that a different territory having different laws was inconsistent with the Commonwealth Marriage Act and the Family Law Act, which defines marriage as between a man and a woman.
Civil unions are however allowed in some states in Australia.

- Publisher: Capcom
- Release Date: Apr 26, 2005
- Summary: Resident Evil Outbreak File #2 retains the signature Resident Evil storytelling, visuals, and bone-chilling audio that Capcom's survival-horror fans demand. Players join the eight characters from the first game in all new terrifying scenarios, with new locations, different enemies and further details of the truth behind the catostrophic events. Players can play with up to four simultaneously in online mode. The key to survival will be cooperating and helping fellow characters as they fight to survive. [Capcom]… Expand

Score distribution:
Positive: 6 out of 35
Mixed: 23 out of 35
Negative: 6 out of 35
A wonderful survival horror game. The new control scheme is so good that if Capcom were to redo all the previous RE games in the style of Outbreak they could probably convince me to go ahead and buy all four titles for a third time.
More challenging puzzles, larger levels and new zombies to battle. All of this will please people who liked the first game and none of this will change the minds of people who hate the first game. Some of the key problems with the game like the lack of communication between players still hasn't been solved. [JPN Import]
The best missions are better than the first Outbreak's but the others are too similar. Wait for the UK release to get the best of all words - online and fresh levels. [JPN Import; PSM2]
Hard-core Resident Evil fans might consider renting "File #2." But for online thrills, I'd rather do "Halo," and for a real thrill, "Resident Evil 4" is much more worthwhile.
After the bloodcurdlingly imaginative Resident Evil 4, this add-on to Outbreak barely qualifies as a legitimate expansion of the story's classic mode of play. We screamed for voice chat and better AI after the initial release, but those cries have gone unheard.
Still hamstrung by the lack of voice communication among human players online and workman-like AI for non-human-controlled allied characters in the single-player mode, the game just fails to differentiate itself enough to avoid a comparison with the new "Resident Evil 4" kid on the block.
It's like trying to fly an airplane with no wings, and you can't even tell the passengers to kiss their asses good-bye. [May 2005, p.92]

Why do I have to crawl through virus-infected Raccoon City for like the gazillionth time? Why must I fire my gun at enemies I can't bloody see? Why doesn't the game pause when I open up my menu screen when I can't even tell my teammates to hold off the zombies? Why is there even a second file? Why why why? Hey, you'd whine too if you wasted money on this dreck. I think would've been better off buying a second copy of "RE4".… Expand

The wonderfully atmospheric Sevenhill Cellars in the Clare Valley are one of the classic Australian wine venues that should be on the "to do" list of any wine lover visiting the region. The Jesuits have been making wine here since 1851 but have moved with the times. Today the wines are made by a woman winemaker, Liz Heidenreich. This is a terrific blend of four grapes; cabernet sauvignon, malbec, cabernet franc and merlot from a vintage regarded as arguably the best of the decade in the Clare. It is an intense and powerful wine, weighing in at 15% alcohol, but there is also poise alongside the power. $40. www.sevenhill.com.au.

Paper Road 2013 Pinot Noir
If you enjoy your pinot noir young, fresh, juicy and slurpable then you'll almost certainly enjoy this brambly and untamed new release from talented New Zealand winemaker Paddy Borthwick, who is based at Gladstone in the Wairarapa. This is fruit-driven and designed for immediate enjoyment - and I doubt you'll find a better wine in the same style in this price bracket. It is imported into Australia by Single Vineyard Cellars and has a recommended retail price of $25. With its bright, lively red and black fruit flavours (think sweet cranberries) and silky soft finish that makes it an absolute steal.

Rymill 2012 mc²
I tried a dozen or so wines of different power and weight as a match for veal cutlets and mushroom-infused pasta but nothing came close to being as good a partner as this humble blend from the Rymill family in Coonawarra. A melange of cabernet sauvignon, merlot and cabernet franc that is designed to be particularly food friendly and versatile, it lived up to its role admirably. There is no great complexity here; but there is great drinkability, which is almost certainly what you are looking for at the price point. Soft but structured, fruity but far from frivolous, I enjoyed this immensely. $20. www.rymill.com.au

Coriole 2013 Sangiovese
The Lloyd family were way ahead of the game when they planted the Tuscan grape variety sangiovese in McLaren Vale almost three decades ago. With Italian varietals now all the rage, Coriole has the oldest sangiovese plantings in the country. Fruit quality shines through here in a most attractive medium-bodied red that combines bright red fruit flavours with savoury characters and a lovely structure. This is the style of versatile food wine that is perfect for when friends drop around for a bite, or you need to grab a bottle for a visit to the BYO. Beautifully balanced and very reasonably priced. $25. www.coriole.com.

Vickery 2014 Watervale Riesling
This is the first release of a cracking Clare Valley riesling that's a collaborative effort between veteran John Vickery, maker of many of the great old Leo Buring rieslings, and talented young gun Phil Lehmann, youngest son of the late Peter Lehmann. Made from fruit from three Watervale vineyards, two young, one old, this is a wine of rare beauty and purity - and the product of a great Clare vintage. A vivacious, floral nose leads on to a palate driven by fresh lime and grapefruit-tinged acidity, tremendous length and flinty minerality. Vibrant, refreshing, delicious. You won't do better at the price. $24. www.vickerywines.com.au.

Leconfield 2013 Coonawarra Merlot
I enjoyed the 2012 Leconfield Merlot and really like this 2013 version as well. Which comes as something of a surprise as I am no great admirer of merlot as a stand-alone varietal in Australia. Winemaker Paul Gordon clearly has an affinity with the variety as he's able to produce delightfully drinkable merlot on a regular basis. This is soft and silky with ripe plummy fruit, as you'd expect, but also has plenty of length and palate interest with the French and American oak adding structure. It would be terrific with coq au vin or and old-fashioned roast chicken and the trimmings. $25. www.leconfieldwines.com.

Journey Wines 2013 Pinot Noir
Damian North has access to some very good Yarra Valley fruit and has made a splendidly accessible pinot noir in 2013, with dark berry notes, length and depth and the fruit shining through despite the use of 25% new French barriques. A former sommelier who has worked in Oregon, as well as at TarraWarra Estate and Leeuwin Estate, his wines are blossoming with each vintage and this pinot from a warm, dry vintage is positively hedonistic with a beautiful balance between the bright fruit, spice and earthiness. Like Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers dancing on your tongue - a thing of beauty. The empty bottle gave away how much I enjoyed this. $34. www.journeywines.com.au.

Siemens Transportation Systems has delivered the first two of nine light rail transit cars to Hampton Roads Transit, as the agency prepares to launch "The Tide" light rail service along its 7.4-mile starter line in Norfolk, Va., roughly one year from now.
The Association of American Railroads reported Thursday that total volume on U.S. railroads for the week ending Oct. 3 was an estimated 29.7 billion ton-miles, off 16.6% from the corresponding week last year.
Railroads originated 277,734 carloads, down 17.2%. All 19 commodity groups lost ground, with declines ranging from 2.7% for chemicals to 53.2% for metallic ores.
Intermodal traffic added up 206,293 trailers and containers, down 15.7%. Container volume fell 10% and trailer volume was off 37%.
Regionally, carload traffic were down 16.4% in the West and 18.3% in the East.
Canadian railroads reported volume of 73,377 carloads, down 7.3% from last year, and 43,724 trailers and containers, down 15.6%. Mexican railroads originated 12,597 carloads, down 0.9%, and 7,593 trailers and containers, down 3.4%.
Combined North American rail volume for the first 39 weeks of 2009 on 13 reporting U.S., Canadian, and Mexican railroads totaled 13,204,334 carloads, down 18.8% from last year, and 9,139,639 trailers and containers, down 16.7%.

In our new blog series, we're interviewing students and recent graduates who have taken their studies and done something profound with them. Some are doing great work at home, while others have traveled to far off destinations to help communities in need. Whatever path they've chosen, these inspirational Students of Change prove that being young and recently graduated are never hindrances to doing what you want to do.

The 5 Big SAT Changes You Need to KnowPosted: April 17, 2014 Filed under: Education, High School Students, Teachers & Teaching | Tags: act, college board, college prep, high school, sat, sat changes, sat essay, sat vocabulary, SAT words, standardized tests, test-prep Comments Off
High school freshmen and sophomores will take a new version of the SAT in 2016. Here's a run-down of what they can expect and how to prepare.
Last month, we covered in depth what you could expect from the new SAT coming in 2016 (in a post you can read here). But now that the changes to this 88 year-old exam are making the media rounds once more, we wanted to take a quick minute to recap the biggest adjustments, and hopefully provide some clarity in the process.
So, here are the 5 big changes to come to the SAT in two years' time:
- No more SAT essay! The essay section will become optional
- No more "SAT words!" The test will quiz students on "relevant" words instead of obscure ones
- No more point deductions for incorrect answers! Which means no penalties for guessing
- Fewer questions! The test will shrink from 171 to 153 questions (52 in reading, 44 in writing and language and 57 in math)
- And lastly, the 1600-point system will return making the 2400-point test a mere blip in the radar for a select few
But before you jump out of your seat with joy, future high school junior, you should read our in-depth analysis of the changes and how they'll affect your test-preparation here. Just because $5 SAT words are out, doesn't mean you don't need to learn strategy to handle unfamiliar vocabulary. AND just because the SAT essay will be optional does not mean you shouldn't take it.
In essence, the SAT is going to look almost identical to the ACT, so the best way to prepare for these changes is to look into its counterpart. In fact, more and more colleges regard the ACT as equal to the SAT, though students tend to score better on the former than the latter. Which leads one to wonder, why are we still placing so much emphasis on the SAT? Our advice: take both and go with the test you're better suited to.
Have questions about either standardized test? Or thoughts on the changes? Leave us a comment and we'll help you with your test-prep!
Resumes: The Struggle is RealPosted: April 16, 2014 Filed under: College Students, High School Students, Writing | Tags: college jobs, college students, cover letter, High School Students, job interview, job search, resume, resume help Comments Off
How is it that as students no one ever really teaches us to write resumes?
There are so few opportunities to hone this skill as a young adult or adolescent.
I know the only reason I've been able to practice this skill is because my dad has always been very pro-active about equipping me with the career-oriented skills needed to be successful. Now that I'm a college student living two states away, getting his advice has become a little more tricky, so naturally I turned to the only place I knew I could get reliable and up to date information quickly, the web. With so many websites and apps available to advise people on career oriented techniques and information, it took no time at all to identify what today's evolving economy calls for in terms of resumes.
The days of resumes with stiff, formal language and generic formatting are long gone. Future employers want to know you, not just your education and experience. Today's resumes are all about showcasing your talents and skills and demonstrating why you'll be advantageous to the company in question.
Here are five tips on how best to market yourself through your resume…

Brach's Royals: Caramel Apple and Sea Salt Caramel
The Brach's Milk Maid Royals candies were always quite special looking. I remember seeing them in the pick-a-mix assortments at the dime store as a kid. I was attracted to the bold foil wrappers that each little flavored caramel rod sported. The looked expensive and sophisticated. The are a lot more caramel choices in the stores now and it seems harder to find the Brach's individually wrapped candies since the bins of the candy disappeared from many grocery store candy aisles.
Royals Caramels are a layered candy, a flavored center chew is surrounded by caramel. It's a simple construction that's helped by the fact that caramel goes with just about everything.
I've noticed that Brach's has recently started repackaging their standard line of candy and sprucing up the flavor assortments to match current tastes. The new Brach's Apple Caramel Royals come in a stand-up gusset bag and are positioned right next to M&Ms and the new morsel sized candies like York Minis and Snickers Bites.
The package is a lovely apple red but the candies inside are wrapped in neon green waxed paper. It's kind of an odd, especially because I had two flavors sitting around at one time and I kept grabbing the wrong package. However, Brach's did use red for their Caramel Apple Candy Corn, so the flavor colors do match on the outside at least.
Unlike the foil-wrapped ancestors, these candies don't look like much in the wrapper. They're the kind of candy that would probably sit around with the Tootsie Rolls at the end of Trick-or-Treat until I was desperate.
The look of the candies unwrapped is odd, the caramel looks good - an opaque medium brown color. But the green center is on the blue side, which makes it look a little more like a caramel filled with toothpaste than a green apple candy. Luckily the smell aligns everything again. It's sweet and with a light apple peel and milk scent. The chew is soft, the caramel and sort of taffy center mix well. It could use a little bit of salt to bring it together. It's never quite a smooth and creamy caramel, but much more satisfying than the Brach's Candy Corn Nougats I tried last week.
The ingredients list actual apples plus buttermilk as an ingredient in these, which really makes them one of the closest candies on drug store shelves to actual caramel apples.
The Brach's Sea Salt Caramel Royals come in the same style of gusset bag. It's a more sedate design, as the colors are more subdued.
While caramel apple candies are quite trendy right now for fall, the general salted caramel rage is a year round thing and still going strong. It only makes sense that Brach's, now owned by the Ferrara Candy Company, would expand into some of these mainstream trends.
While they say sea salt on the front of the package, the ingredients list only salt. The nutrition panel shows that there are 180 mgs of salt per serving of 6 pieces. As a point of reference, the Apple Caramel Royals have only 75 mgs.
The Sea Salt Caramel Royals are, well, quite nice! The chew is soft with a little difference between the caramel outside and the sort of pasty chew inside. They're definitely salty, but it does highlight the brown sugar notes of the caramel. I wouldn't be likely to buy these again, especially at the price when I can get some really good sea salt caramels from Trader Joe's or just some Sugar Babies ... but I will finish this bag.
These candies are made in Mexico. The contain milk, soy and egg ingredients. There's no notation about nuts or gluten, though.
Brach's Milk Maid Royals have been made since the late 1920s (though I'm sure the wrappers have changed over the years). The flavors are probably also cyclical with changing tastes. The last time I had them I enjoyed the extra-sweet Maple and Butter Rum, but didn't care for the sherbet flavored Orange. The Chocolate is softer than a Tootsie Roll but didn't have the reliably long chew.

Dove Dark Chocolate Cranberries
Dove Chocolate, a Mars brand, often skirts a line in their marketing and products between being a healthy indulgence and pure decadence. The new line of chocolate covered fruit goes for the former but still accomplishes the latter.
Mars sent me some of their new products, including this amazingly large bag of Dove Whole Dried Cranberries in Dark Chocolate. It's 26 ounces of chocolate covered sugared dried cranberries.
The package makes it look like these are plump cranberries, but they're the ordinary dried variety. There's a little bit of sugar added, which is fine, because I've had unsweetened cranberries before and they were too puckery,even with a chocolate coating.
The pieces are quite large, and cutting them in half reveals why. They aren't strangely large cranberries. Instead they're covered with a lot of chocolate. Often chocolate covered cranberries are flat, but these are very appealing looking. These a plump and a little chew reveals that they're pretty moist, not leathery. They're tangy and have a sort of bitterness to them that cranberries are known for, but it's offset well by the chocolate.
I often find Dove's chocolate a little bland, but dark chocolate here has a lot of flavor. It's a rich chocolate pudding vibe, a little woodsy. It's creamy without being too slick, though Dove does use dairy fats in their dark chocolate, so this is not vegan. (There's 5 mg of cholesterol in here, which serves as an indication of the level of dairy fats.)
They're expensive. But there aren't that many higher quality choices at grocery stores for chocolate covered cranberries. I did find Ghirardelli's new Dark Chocolate Cranberries are just as good as these but are likely to be harder to find. Steer clear of the Nestle version in their Raisinets line as they're just terrible.

10 Pumpkin Spice Candies I've Tried
On the Halloween flavor trend meter, Pumpkin Spice is right up at the top this year. It's an odd sort of synergy, since pumpkin pie isn't really for Halloween. The pumpkins we associate with Halloween are for Jack O Lanterns and are not grown for eating. The closest I can come to a true Halloween pumpkin tie in would be pumpkin seeds, which are a seasonal item for folks who do their own carving and toasting of the pepitas. Here are ten of the pumpkin spice flavored candies that have hit store shelves that I've tried in recent years.
Name: Dark Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Salted Caramels
Name: Pumpkin Seed Brittle Dusted with Sugar and Pumpkin Pie Spice
Name: Pumpkin Pie
Name: M&Ms Pumpkin Spice
Name: Pumpkin Spice Kisses
Name: Pumpkin Spice Orange
Name: Pumpkin Pie Truffles
Name: Pumpkin Pie Candy Corn
Name: Naked Chocolate Malt Balls: Pumpkin Spice
Name: Pumpkin Spice Lollypops

Sweet's Naturally Flavored Candy Corn
I've often wondered why these isn't an organic version of Candy Corn out there. A few years ago I got a mellocreme mix from Marich, but I haven't seen in at Whole Foods for at least two years. You can get organic, fair trade peanut butter cups ... you can get M&M knock offs made with natural colors and less sugar ... why no Candy Corn?
Well, Sweet's Candy Company of Utah has come through with an American-made, Kosher, non-GMO and gluten free Candy Corn.
The bag for Sweet's Naturally Flavored Candy Corn certainly looks festive. But the little window reveals a bit of weirdness, which is fine if weirdness is what you like in your Halloween treats. The candy corn comes in three different colors. Not three layers in a single piece, three different colors. Yellow, white and orange.
The ingredients are as complex as they are simple:
Though they're using all natural colors and flavors and plenty of sourcing information about the ingredients, the Candy Corn is not vegan since it contains egg whites, honey and confectioners glaze.
The pieces are normally sized and very well made. I guess when you don't do the layering, there are fewer weak points on the candy, so there was no pile of the white caps at the bottom of the bag at all.
The Candy Corn smells sweet and pleasant, but more like orange sherbet than honey. I tried a few pieces and noticed right away that they were different from each other. Whether intended or not, the different colors are different.
White is nice, pleasantly mild with a sort of vanilla marshmallow note. It didn't have the honey flavor that I'd expect from my candy corn, and was also missing that little note of salt I was craving.
Yellow is similarly mild, but has a sort of, well, root flavor to it, like a vague sort of boiled carrot thing going on in the background.
Orange is ever so slightly tangy and has an orange note.
I really missed the layers, I like eating each layer as a separate bite, as I imagine they taste different or sometimes have slightly different textures. The candies had a high gloss on them, the glaze kept them from being sticky but did mean that it took a moment for them to start dissolving unless I chewed them. The yellow one was the only one that seemed like it didn't belong, the white and orange were perfectly acceptable as a natural alternative to the convention version.
Even though these are all natural and gluten free, they're made in the same facility with peanuts and tree nuts. There's no statement about dairy.

15 Caramel Apple Candies I've Reviewed
A favorite treat in late summer and into fall are caramel apples. I often start seeing them as fair season starts, but at this point they're available all year round. The combination of a fresh apple and well made caramel is interesting. The apples are crispy and juicy, with a tartness and sort of quick sweetness. Caramel has a slow lingering sweetness and chew as well as the more toasted notes of the burnt sugar and browned butter. It's hard to imagine a candy that can replicate this, and they pretty much can't. The flavor combination has been a trend in the past few years, so here's a recap of a few that I've tried.
Name: Jolly Rancher Caramel Apple Crunch 'n Chew
Name: Twizzlers Caramel Apple Filled Twists

It's no use, Iria. They've got Bora surrounded.
Nothing to see here. You're still dreaming. Close your eyes. You did not see a cute velour lovin' gerbil burrowing a cozy blankie nest who also doesn't know anything about how those crumbs got in your bed.
That's some bedtime story, Lauren.
Hmm, plenty of legroom, easy to stretch out…

The following commonly owned applications and patents are hereby incorporated by reference for all purposes:
U.S. Patent Application No. ______, filed concurrently herewith, entitled �Methods and Apparatus for Dividing a Clock Signal,� by Feng Lin.
1 . Field Of The Invention
The present invention relates generally to the field of integrated circuits. More particularly, the invention relates to a fast and efficient system and method for selecting a single internal clock signal from multiple internal clock signals to synchronize with an external clock signal.
2. Description Of The Related Art
This section is intended to introduce the reader to various aspects of art that may be related to various aspects of the present invention, which are described and/or claimed below. This discussion is believed to be helpful in providing the reader with background information to facilitate a better understanding of the various aspects of the present invention. Accordingly, it should be understood that these statements are to be read in this light, and not as admissions of prior art.
In modern systems clock signals are used to coordinate the various operations across circuits, devices and integrated circuits. Due to a variety of reasons, however, a single clock signal is typically inadequate to accommodate all the devices in complex circuits and computer systems. For example, a particular device may operate at a different frequency than a processor, thus necessitating multiple clock signals with multiple frequencies. Additionally, there may be issues associated with jitter performance and skewing of the clock signal when it is distributed at speeds approaching the several-gigahertz-range. One common method for minimizing some of the problems associated with distributing a clock signal at high speeds and achieving various frequencies is locally dividing an external clock and then reproducing or regenerating the clock signal. Once a new clock signal is generated locally it is synchronized with the original clock signal so that the operations of the local device can be coordinated with the rest of the system. The procedure of synchronization of the internal clock may take a relatively large amount of time considering the speeds of today's devices and may bottle-neck the system. Therefore there exists a need to more efficiently synchronize a local clock signal with an external clock signal.
Embodiments of the present invention may address one of more of the problems discussed above.
Certain aspects commensurate in scope with the originally claimed invention are set forth below. It should be understood that these aspects are presented merely to provide the reader with a brief summary of certain forms the invention might take and that these aspects are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Indeed, the invention may encompass a variety of aspects that may not be set forth below.
The present invention provides a system of reducing the required lock time for synchronous circuits by reducing the length of the delay line used in the synchronous circuit. The system generates three internal clock signals from an external clock signal. Each of the signals is separated by 1tCK or 2tCK depending on whether the external clock signal is divided by 3 or 6. One of the three signals is selected based on the timing of the three clock signals relative to a feedback signal. The selected signal is then used for feedback and synchronization purposes. Because the three clock signals are separated by 1tCK or 2tCK, the total length of the delay line can be reduced to a maximum of 1tCK or 2tCK as opposed to 3tCK or 6tCK if only one signal were used for synchronization purposes, thereby significantly increasing locking efficiency. Accordingly, the total lock time can be improved by as much as 66.67%. In another aspect of the invention, a method for improving the lock time comprises generating three internal clock signals and selecting one of the three signal based on timing characteristics relative to an external clock signal.
Advantages of the invention may become apparent upon reading the following detailed description and upon reference to the drawings in which:
One or more specific embodiments of the present invention will be described below. In an effort to provide a concise description of these embodiments, not all features of an actual implementation are described in the specification. It should be appreciated that in the development of any such actual implementation, as in any engineering or design project, numerous implementation-specific decisions must be made to achieve the developers' specific goals, such as compliance with system-related and business-related constraints, which may vary from one implementation to another. Moreover, it should be appreciated that such a development effort might be complex and time consuming, but would nevertheless be a routine undertaking of design, fabrication, and manufacture for those of ordinary skill having the benefit of this disclosure.
As described above, many issues arise when distributing a clock for synchronous devices and circuits, especially at high speeds. A common way to minimize or eliminate many of the issues includes producing or generating a local clock signal and then synchronizing the local clock signal with the original clock signal using a synchronizing device, such as a delay-lock loop (DLL) circuit. As the amount of time required for synchronization can be relatively significant, the present invention improves the efficiency of the synchronization device by reducing the length of the delay line employed in the synchronization device and thereby reducing the total lock time associated with synchronization. As will be appreciated, the length of the digital delay line employed in a DLL is determined by the worst-case internal clock period (typically, 6tCK) and fast operating corners (tdfast) such as high voltage, cold temperature and fast (process) transistors. For instance, in conventional devices, the number of delay elements (N) may be determined by the equation: N=6tck/tdfast. In accordance with embodiments of the present invention, the number of delay elements may be determined by the equation: N=2tck/tdfast. If tdfast=100 ps and tck=0.5 ns, the number of delay elements may be reduced from N=30 to N=10.
The improved efficiency is achieved in accordance with embodiments of the present invention by providing a system and method that generates three clock signals and then selects one of the signals to be used for synchronization purposes based upon the relative phase relationship of the signals to the feedback signal. Embodiments of the present invention may be used in a synchronous circuit such as a synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM) device. As will be appreciated, embodiments of the present invention may also be useful in a number of other synchronous devices or circuits.
Referring initially to
When the DLL circuit 10 has locked the data output signal DLLOUT to the reference clock signal XCLK, then essentially no difference should exist between the phases of the buffered clock signal CLKIN and the clock feedback signal FBCLK. The degree of acceptable phase difference will depend on the application and the precision of the DLL (i.e., the number and size of the delay elements 15 included in the delay line 14). Thus, a DLL 10 is locked when the total delay in the forward path is equal to one or multiple clock cycles. Expressed another way:
In accordance with embodiments of the present techniques and as discussed further with reference to
The Clock divider/generator 26 may receive the buffered clock signal CLKIN, a reset signal R and a divide by 6 flag DIV6. The clock signal CLKIN may comprise the clock signal generated by a system clock (XCLK of
The illustrated Clock divider/generator 26 also receives the divide by 6 flag DIV6. In one embodiment, the selection signal DIV6 is a digital signal configured to control whether the clock divider/generator 26 divides the clock signal CLKIN by 3 or by 6. In one exemplary embodiment, if the divide by 6 flag is high, the clock divider/generator 26 may be configured to divide by 6. If the divide by 6 flag is low, the clock divider/generator 26 may be configured to divide by 3 rather than 6.
As described above and further described below, the clock divider/generator 26 is configurable to output a clock signal with a frequency equal to ⅓ or ⅙ of the input clock signal CLKIN. While not illustrated in
The clock divider/generator 26 includes a By 2 divider 34 and a By 3 divider 36. In the present exemplary embodiment, the clock divider/generator 26 receives a buffered clock signal CLKIN at the By 2 divider 34. The By 2 divider 34 divides the frequency of the buffered clock signal CLKIN by 2, thereby producing an output signal having a frequency of CLKIN/2. The output of the By 2 divider 34 is transmitted through an inverter 38 and a NAND gate 40. The NAND gate 40 also receives the selection signal DIV6. As described above, the state of the selection signal DIV6 will ultimately determine whether the output signal from the clock divider/generator 26 will have a frequency of ⅓ or ⅙ that of the buffered input signal CLKIN. The buffered input signal CLKIN and the selection signal DIV6 are also delivered to a NAND gate 42. The selection signal DIV6 is delivered to the NAND gate 42 through an inverter 41 to ensure proper signaling. The output of the NAND gate 40 and the output of the NAND gate 42 are transmitted through another NAND gate 43 before being transmitted as the clock signal CIN to the By 3 divider 36. Thus, the clock signal CIN will have the same frequency as the buffered input signal CLKIN or a frequency equal to � that of the buffered input signal CLKIN, depending on the state of the selection signal DIV6.
The By 3 divider 36 is configured to divide the frequency of the clock signal CIN by three and to produce three output signals OUT<0:2> each being ⅓ the frequency of the clock signal CIN. The By 3 divider comprises two partial divider circuits 44 a and 44 b. As illustrated, each of the partial divider circuits 44 a and 44 b includes a clock input (CLK) and a reset (R) input. The partial divider circuits 44 a and 44 b are coupled to each other via their respective inputs (D1 and D2) and their respective outputs (CLOCKOUT). In particular, the input D1 on the partial divider circuit 44 a may be coupled to the output CLOCKOUT of the partial divider circuit 44 b, the output CLOCKOUT of the partial divider circuit 44 b, and the input D2 of the partial divider circuit 44 b. The input D2 of the partial divider circuit 44 a may be coupled to the output CLOCKOUT of the partial divider circuit 44 a. Further, the input D1 of the partial divider circuit 44 b may be coupled to the output CLKOUT from the partial divider circuit 44 a.
The output signal of the first partial divider 44 a is also connected to a series of three inverters 46 a-c. The output of the third inverter 46 c is the clock <0> signal. The output of the second partial divider 44 b also is transmitted through a series of three inverters 47 a-c. The output of the third inverter 47 c is the clock <1> signal. The output signals of both partial dividers 38 a and 38 b are also transmitted to a NAND gate 48. The output of the NAND gate 48 is received by an inverter 49, and the output of the inverter 49 is the clock <2> signal. All three clock signals are produced by the clock divider/generator 26 as OUT<0:2> as shown in
If the selection signal DIV6 is set to enable the clock divider/generator 26 as a By 6 divider, each of the three outputted clock signals OUT<0:2> are separated from each other by 2tCK, have a logical high of 2tCK and have a period of 6tCK. There is no overlap of the duty cycles between the three signals, as illustrated with reference to
The clock mux logic 28 also receives a clock enable signal EnCLK, a feedback signal FEEDBACK, a delay-lock loop enable signal DLLEN and a reset signal R. The clock enable signal EnCLK is transmitted to the NAND gates 50 a-b. The FEEDBACK signal is used for phase comparative purposes and is discussed in further detail below. The DLLEN signal is implemented to enable the DLL 10. The DLLEN signal passes through D flip-flops 56 a-b and inverters 58 a-b to serve as the clock inputs C and C_ on the D flip-flops 60 a-b.
The parallel D flip-flops 54 a-b are clocked by the FEEDBACK signal. The FEEDBACK signal can be any signal with which clock signal <1> and <2> are to be compared. For the purposes of
As explained above, the clock signals OUT<1> and <2> are compared with the FEEDBACK signal to determine their relative phase relationships. The outputs from the D flip-flops 54 a-b are used to determine what clock signal will be selected. The signal from the output Q2 of the first D flip-flop 54 a is transmitted into two parallel NOR gates 66 a and 66 b. The first NOR gate 66 a also receives the signal from the Q1 output of the second D flip-flop 54 b. The second NOR gate 66 b receives the signal from the output Q2 and an inverted signal (through an inverter 68) from the output Q1. The outputs of the two NOR gates 66 a and 66 b are then transmitted to the inputs D of the D flip-flops 60 a and 60 b and are outputted as SEL1 and SEL2 signals respectively. The truth table below shows the possible states of the two signals from the outputs Q1 and Q2 as they enter the NOR gates 66 a and 66 b and the resulting selected signal.
When the DLL reset signal R is initiated, SEL1 and SEL2 are forced low and the OUT<0> is selected. The truth table shows that whenever Q2 is a �1�OUT<0> will be selected; if Q2 is a �0� and Q1 is a �1�OUT<1> will be selected; if both Q2 and Q1 are �0�OUT<2> will be selected. The final selection of the signal is determined using the outputs of the D flip-flops 60 a-b which are then fed through a number of logic gates to make the final signal selection, as described below. Essentially, if OUT<1> is selected, the output signal SEL1 from the D flip-flop 60 b will be �high� and the output signal SEL2 from the D flip-flop 60 a will be �low.� Similarly, if OUT<2> is selected, the SEL2 signal will be �high� and the SEL1 signal will be �low.� If neither SEL1 or SEL2 is �high,� then the circuit will select the OUT<0>.
The output signals from the D flip flops 60 a and 60 b are compared through a NOR gate 70. The output of the NOR gate 70 is transmitted to a NAND gate 72 a that also receives the OUT<0>. This NAND gate 72 a is electrically in parallel with two other NAND gates 72 b and 72 c. One NAND gate 72 b receives the SEL1 signal from the D flip-flop 60 b and the OUT<1> signal (from the clock divider/generator 26) and the other NAND gate 72 c receives the SEL2 signal from the D flip-flop 60 a and the OUT<2> signal (from the clock divider/generator 26). The outputs from each of the three NAND gates 72 a-c are transmitted to a three input NAND gate 74 and through two inverters 76 and 78 before leaving the clock mux logic 28 as the REFIN signal (
As will be appreciated, the efficiency of the synchronization process may be improved by implementing embodiments of the present invention to select the input signal for use during synchronization. By enabling the selection of the input signal, the delay line 14 may be designed with fewer delay elements 15. Advantageously, by reducing the number of delay elements, the layout area may be reduced. Further, clock loading is reduced, thereby saving power and processing speed. Further power consumption is reduced by using fewer delay elements. Still further, lock time of the circuit is advantageously reduced.
While the invention may be susceptible to various modifications and alternative forms, specific embodiments have been shown by way of example in the drawings and have been described in detail herein. However, it should be understood that the invention is not intended to be limited to the particular forms disclosed. Rather, the invention is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the following appended claims.

text: 03 June 2013 Noah Matson joins Interior Climate Change Advisory Committee Posted by: Haley McKey | 2 comments | Share: Haley McKey Last month we got some exciting news here at Defenders: our very own climate expert, Noah Matson, was selected to be a member of the Department of the Interior's new Climate Change Advisory Committee! This is an important step for the department. Defenders has advocated for years that Interior agencies change their science and policy strategies to include climate change adaptation and assisted in their efforts to do so. In a press release, recently appointed Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell emphasized that "responding to climate change and its effects on our natural and cultural resources is an important priority for the nation." It is indeed, and the formation of this committee is an encouraging sign that the federal government is taking climate change seriously. Some migratory birds' ranges are changing due to global warming. So what will Noah be doing as a committee member? "Members are tasked with identifying the key components of a strong, effective climate adaptation science strategy, and how to integrate those components into climate adaptation programs already in effect," Noah says. Specifically, the committee will advise the Secretary of the Interior on the operations of the National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center at the US Geological Survey's headquarters, as well as eight new regional Department of the Interior Climate Science Centers. "The question we're trying to answer is: 'how do we improve the way we manage our resources in the face of climate change'?" There's no doubt that our nation's wildlife are responding to climate change: some migratory bird ranges are in flux, flowers are blooming earlier and ocean fish are retreating to deeper, cooler waters. We simply cannot effectively conserve species without taking such changes into account. In addition to science priorities, the committee will also advise the department on relations with key partners, such as state wildlife agencies, private landowners, tribes and others. Working efficiently with partners is integral to Interior's ability to coordinate with other climate adaptation initiatives, such as state-run wetland restoration or drought management programs. Noah will be joined on the committee by members from a diverse number of organizations and institutions, including tribal, state and local governments, non-government organizations and the private sector. This is a vital time for climate change policy and strategy. The climate science center and the committee add a new dimension to our ability to protect our natural resources, help wildlife adapt to climate change and safeguard vulnerable communities. The committee's first meeting is expected to take place this fall. Stay tuned as we follow Noah in his new and important role helping the Department of the Interior respond to climate change. 2 Responses to "Noah Matson joins Interior Climate Change Advisory Committee" Meredith February 27th, 2014 thank you for the perseverance in the face of indifference.
