Patent 7721263 was granted and assigned to Texas Instruments on May, 2010 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Last stall information is transmitted if the last stall standing function is enabled, one of the stall elements was active during the last clock cycle, no stall condition exists during the current cycle and the stall threshold has been met. Last stall standing operation provides a label associated with each stall period that exceeds a specified threshold. This provides the means to filter out some stall bursts to reduce trace bandwidth.
