    摘要: A method, system and computer program product for analyzing and modifying a static timing slack of a timing path in a static timing analysis of a design of an integrated circuit (IC) with a transient power supply are disclosed. A static timing slack analysis is performed at a selected endpoint in an IC to obtain a candidate timing path leading to the endpoint with a worst static timing slack. A transient static timing slack is determined for the candidate timing path for each clock cycle of a clock signal under the transient power supply. The determined transient static timing slack is used to adjust the timing of the IC and to modify the static timing slack of the candidate timing path.

    摘要: A Sequential Gray Code to Thermometer Code decoder circuit adapted for area efficient use at each pad of an integrated circuit chip for incrementally adjusting a digitally adjustable resistance for continuous or periodic adjustment of on-chip terminations. The sequential decoder for decoding a Gray code count to a T-bit Thermometer code count is constructed of a plurality (T) of cascaded decoder cells, each cell sensing the state of only one bit of the Gray code count. The decoder cells are cascaded to from decoding-latching stages each stage responsive to an individual one of single-bit changes between consecutive counts in the Gray code. Each stage contains a decoding-latching circuit adapted to detecting and latching the occurrence of one single-bit change in the Gray code.

    摘要: A circuit and method are provided wherein a receiver receives an input train of pulses. The circuit includes a delay-locked-loop coupled to an output of the receiver. The delay-locked-loop includes a pulse generator responsive to received input train of pulses produced at the output of the receiver for producing first pulses in response to the leading edges of the received input train of pulses and second pulses in response to the trailing edges of received input train of pulses. The leading edge of the first pulse has the same edge type as the leading edge of the second pulse (i.e., the leading edge of the first pulse and the leading edge of the second pulse are either both rising edge types or both falling edges types). The first pulses and the second pulses are combined into a composite input signal comprising the first and second pulses with the leading edge of the first pulse maintaining the same edge type. The delay-locked-loop also includes a variable delay line fed by the composite input signal for producing a composite output train of pulses comprising both the first train of pulses and the second train of pulses after a selected time delay provided by the delay line. The delay-locked-loop is responsive to one of the first train of pulses and the second train of pulses in the composite output train of pulses for selecting the time delay of the variable delay line so as to produce the composite output train of pulses with a predetermined phase relationship to the input train of pulses.
