    摘要: Described is an apparatus which comprises: a comparator to be clocked by a clock signal to be provided by a clocking circuit, wherein the clocking circuit includes: a voltage controlled delay line having two or more delay cells; a multiplexer coupled to the voltage controlled delay line and operable to configure the clocking circuit as a ring oscillator with the voltage controlled delay line forming at least one delay section of the ring oscillator; and select logic coupled to the multiplexer, the select logic is to receive a signal indicating arrival of an input clock, and is to control the multiplexer according to the indication. Described is also an apparatus which comprises: a data path to receive input data; and a clock path to receive an input clock and to provide a preconditioned clock to the data path when the input clock is absent.

    摘要: An apparatus includes a plurality of data lines defining a data bus for communicating data. A controller is operable to communicate a plurality of data transfers over the data bus using a plurality of data time slots, wherein for at least a subset of the data time slots the controller is operable to communicate an associated data bus inversion indicator indicating that bits communicated during the associated data time slot are inverted, the data bus inversion indicators for the subset of the data transfers are grouped into a data bus inversion vector, and the controller is operable to communicate a global data bus inversion indicator indicating an inversion of the data bus inversion vector.
