    摘要: An apparatus includes a latch of a clock gating circuit (CGC). The latch is configured to generate a first signal in response to a clock signal. The apparatus further includes a delay circuit of the CGC. The delay circuit is configured to receive the clock signal and to generate a second signal based on the clock signal and the first signal. The apparatus further includes an output circuit of the CGC. The output circuit is coupled to the delay circuit and to the latch. The output circuit is configured to generate a master clock signal based on the clock signal and the second signal. An edge of the master clock signal is delayed with respect to an edge of the clock signal based on a delay characteristic associated with a slave clock signal.

    摘要: The disclosure provides a phase locked loop, PLL, for phase locking an output signal to a reference signal. The PLL comprises a reference path providing the reference signal to a first input of a phase detector, a feedback loop providing the output signal of the PLL as a feedback signal to a second input of the phase detector, a controllable oscillator generating the output signal based on at least a phase difference between reference and feedback signal, a digital-to-time converter, DTC, delaying a signal that is provided at one of the first and second input, a delay calculation path for calculating a DTC delay value. The PLL further comprises a randomization unit for generating and adding a stream of pseudo-random offsets, i.e. pseudo-random numbers, to the delay value. The offset is such that the target output of the phase detector remains substantially unchanged.

    摘要: A signal comprising a first edge and a second edge is received. The first edge of the signal is synchronized with a first clock and the synchronized first edge of the signal is passed to an output. The synchronization results in a delay of the first edge of the signal. The second edge of the signal is passed to the output. The passed second edge of the signal has a delay that is less than the delay of the first edge of the signal by at least one clock cycle of the first clock.

    摘要: An integrated circuit dynamically compensates for circuit aging by measuring the aging with an aging sensor. The aging sensor uses the same circuit to measure circuit speeds in both aged and un-aged conditions. An example aging sensor includes two delay lines. The delay lines are controlled to be in a static aging state or the delay lines are coupled to form a ring oscillator that can operate in an aged state where the frequency is slowed by aging or in an un-aged state where the frequency is not slowed by aging. The integrated circuit uses the aging measurements for dynamic voltage and frequency scaling. The dynamic voltage and frequency scaling uses a table of operating frequencies and corresponding voltage that is periodically updated based on the aging measurements. The integrated circuit use information about the relationship between the aging measurements and circuit performance to update the table.
