    摘要: The on-chip power supply noise sensor detects high frequency overshoots and undershoots of the power supply voltage. By creating two identical current sources and attaching a time constant circuit to only one, the high frequency transient behavior differs while the low frequency behavior is equivalent. By comparing these currents, the magnitude of very high frequency power supply noise can be sensed and used to either set latches or add to a digital counter. This has the advantage of directly sensing the power supply noise in a manner that does not require calibration. Also, since the sensor requires only one power supply, it can be used anywhere on a chip. Finally, it filters out any lower frequency noise that is not interesting to the circuit designer and can be tuned to detect down to whatever frequency is needed.

    摘要: An embodiment of the invention comprises a digital phase detector with substantially zero phase offset. The digital phase detector receives a clock signal and a reference clock signal and provides a phase indicator signal to identify whether the clock signal leads or lags the reference clock signal. An embodiment of the invention comprises a method that adds substantially zero phase offset in processing an input clock signal and a delayed clock signal to generate a control signal. The control signal is processed in a variable delay line to generate the delayed clock signal. In an embodiment, a first processor comprises a delay locked loop having a digital phase detector, the digital phase detector comprising a first differential sense amplifier cross-coupled to a second differential sense amplifier, the digital phase detector receiving a clock signal and generating one or more delayed clock signals, a control signal, and a gated data signal.

    摘要: A voltage reference driver includes a voltage divider circuit with a voltage reference output node to output a voltage between a first voltage and a second voltage. The voltage reference driver also includes a first selectable impedance circuit coupled to a node at the first voltage and further coupled to the voltage reference output node, and a second selectable impedance circuit coupled to a node at the second voltage and further coupled to the voltage reference output node. Combinations of the first selectable impedance circuit and the second selectable impedance circuit are selectable such that a constant impedance is maintained at the voltage reference output node within a threshold value.
