Title: Innovations of David R. Matt
Introduction
David R. Matt is a prominent inventor based in Missouri City, Texas. He has made significant contributions to the field of integrated circuits and emulation systems. With a total of 12 patents to his name, his work has had a considerable impact on technology and engineering.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is an "Emulation system with search and identification of optional emulation peripherals." This invention allows for in-circuit emulation of integrated circuits, enabling the location and identification of optional emulation resources. Each resource is assigned a memory address, and the system generates a special memory access to these addresses. If the access corresponds to an emulation resource, it responds with an acknowledgment and identification number. This technique facilitates the manufacture of multiple integrated circuits with corresponding sets of emulation resources.
Another notable patent is the "Reconfigurable datapath for processor debug functions." This invention features a reconfigurable datapath that can be configured for various debug modes, including breakpoint mode, counter mode, DMA mode, and PSA mode. The configuration utilizes two types of bitcell units: a register bitcell unit and a comparator bitcell unit. The inputs and interconnections of these units determine the mode for which they are used.
